Bee 4 ewe do anything!   Check for a clogged filter screen on the SU pump 
inlet side if it has one AND ANY in line fuel filter!There's the diagnostic 
"start spot".It's trying to pump either against a clog or through a clog.  
 That's my advice to start...Long story associated to this involving towing 
with a 1970 Monte Carlo SS454 & a 56 Chevy show car on open 
trailer.....ChuckSent from my LG Mobile------ Original message------From:

List;Cc: Subject:[Spridgets] Not Healey, but RelatedI went to In N Out for 
lunch today in my 1969 MGB GT.  The line was very long so I had to 
inch forward and was stopped numerous times for a few minutes in 
between.  The fuel pump started pumping furiously like I was
 running out of gas while stopped halfway through the line.  The car was
 still running.  I got up to the first window to pay and the idle 
dropped to less than 500 rpm.  In a minute or so later the engine just 
quit.  There is over a half tank of gas in the car.  I tried starting it
 several times, but it would just fire and die.  After several attempts 
the car started again, all the while the fuel pump was going like mad.  
After getting out of the line the fuel pump slowed down like normal and 
you did not hear it after what I assume was a full float bowl.  No 
issues going home the 4 or 5 miles.  Does that sound like my fuel pump 
is going out or the tank pickup is clogged?Mike MacLean
