Hi
Similar has happened to me turned out the choke cables were stiff and the
chokes did not open enough. In coldish weather the last 2 mm on the knob
part are really needed else no coughing no nothing.
Just a thought

Yes, indeed. But on a Healey, the first thing to suspect is spark.
(Since, complete failure is most like a single point cause, and ignition
(spark) issues can usually be pointed to failure of a single component.)..
One other item needs to be on that list: You not only need "air" you also
need "compression" to make that air/fuel mixture appropriate for burning
inside an engine cylinder. (that is why I checked compression).
The item that turned out to be missing was "fuel"..but the reason for the
failure of fuel to get into the cylinders was interesting..
Thanks

The answer lies in:
Fuel
Air
Spark
At the right place
At the right time
in the correct amount.
(And a tip of the hat to Dick O'Kane who wrote that in the book "How to
Repair Your Foreign Car, a Guide for Your Wife, the Beginner, and the
Mechanically Inept.")
Over the years I have fixed many a car by repeating the above to myself, and
asking what is not there.
