I once spent a winter evening in my MGB-GT with the battery cover
off of the car so I could tap the fuel pump with the lug wrench every 10
miles for 130 miles to keep enough fuel flowing to get me home. SU Fuel
pumps don't really die, they become zombies that need to be resurrected.
I had a similar problem to yours that turned out to be worn needles
and seats in the carbs. The seats were worn to a point that the needles
would stick. Sometimes the rattle from the last gasp of the engine
would shake them loose, other times a quick rap from the handle end of a
screwdriver would shake them loose. Real Grose jets cured the issue.

Should I suspect the fuel pump? In the past when I needed
to replace a pump it was dead --- not working part of the
time and fine later. What should I check first??? Arch<br>
