[Mgs] Update -- 80 MGB: Faulty coil and fuel pump

[Larry Daniels]

Mark, check the diaphragm for any holes/tears.  The Z-S is notorious for 
acting up with only the tiniest of holes.

All...

We were able to repair the ignition and the fuel pump yesterday.  Thanks
to all of the great advice and suggestions from everyone!

However, the car is still having some problems, and we think it's the
Z-S carburetor.  We have verified that there is fuel getting to the
carburetor and the car will spark and run briefly when we use starter
fluid but it won't continue to run at all after the starter fluid is out
of the system.  Any suggestions on where to start looking at the carb
(or elsewhere?) to see where the fault might be?

Thanks again!

Regards,

Mark
