It was in the 70's yesterday, so I took my 1980 MGB out for a ride. My
current carb is a Weber 38 DGES that I installed when I replaced the cam two
years ago. I drove around last year and it was running well, until one
day when I stopped at a store for a few minutes and then couldn't get the car
restarted. After trying to get it going I wound up calling my daughter
for help and we got it push-started. Yesterday the same thing
happened. After the push start the car ran fine, but I just drove it home
rather than risk another problem. I was trying some starter fluid to get
it going yesterday, but that didn't work. I thought that maybe the gas in
the tank is old, but the car started up after a little cranking when I
originally left the house.

Any suggestions on where to look? I didn't plumb the coolant line
through the manifold to heat it, but I don't drive too much in cold weather so
I didn't think it would be needed. I thought that the problem last summer
could have been vapor lock, but starter fluid should have worked if that was
the issue.
