Yep.

Take off the air cleaner, move the throttle by hand and watch for fuel
being squirted into the venturi. (Main venturi)

Piece of cake. Call Brit-Tek and order an accelerator pump repair kit.
Wait for mailman. Unpack box and install the diaphragm.
If you're really serious about using this "thing", suggest you buy the
Haynes Weber Carburetor Manual. Excellent resource for rebuilding and
understanding these bizarre devices. (Please understand - I believe
that SUs are the only way to go on an MG, but there seem to be many
folks convinced that a Weber is a better carb. Why is beyond my
comprehension but if they work for you who am I to say that you're
wrong?)
