Which Weber carb is it? I have a Weber DGES 38/38 (no-progressive) on my '79 
MGB. When I got the car it was also quite rich, and stumbled badly on 
take-off. My mechanic checked around and decided that the accelerator jet 
was too large, got me a smaller one, and it runs great now and turns in 
26-28 MPG on the road.
