I am struck by how diverse the answers have been.  (I've never seen a float 
valve stuck closed, but then, I've never used Grosse Jets.)  Each of the 
answers could offer the real solution (excapt that some have already been 
tried).  Bad dizzy parts, bad coil, air leak, jumped timing chain, split vacuum 
advance diapharam (not mentioned yet), split carb diaphram? (not mentioned 
yet), blown head gasket, a radiator water stream, clogged gas tank vent, 
burned-out candle on the Lucas altar, the MG badge in your spare-trim-parts 
box, etc.

You just never know until you check.
