I have an MG Midget MkIV like yours, but a bit newer (judging from the gauges).
Start by de-smogging it - removing all the emissions control, if you can in your state. This is probably the biggest improvement you can make.
Lose the Zenith-Stromberg and run PRI's Mikuni conversion or a Weber conversion.
If it's hesitating noticeably, check your damper fluid level (the cap on top of the carb - should be up to the bottom of the threads). Use the proper fluid or DOT-3 brake fluid.

10w40 is better during the winter in cold climates because 20w50 is too thick at 10ºF

Does seem to be running not too bad. But the engine is very noise what weight oil are you using?
jimmy82022000 3 years ago
the oil weight i am using is quaker state 10w30 and i have set the valve gap to the specific gap given in the maintenance book. it does still seem kind of loud

I believe 20w50 is required in most four cylinder British engines. Of course I could be wrong for the 1500cc. That hose you where blocking of was the the fresh air hose on the CC canister?
jimmy82022000 3 years ago
yeah i think so it the breather hose for the charcoal canister thats my guess
