[Healeys] Running Problem and assistance from the list

[Brian Drab]

First I would like to thank everyone for their suggestions. This list continues to amaze me and I am thankful to be a member.
Unfortunately I have tried all suggestions that were mentioned.
Just for clarification, I detached the fuel line from the pumps and blew it back into the tank. I did not blow trough the pumps.  Next time I'll remember to remove the gas cap though. It sounded like I could have blown up the gas tank (I didn't).  I had checked the needles on the vacuum pistons and they were solid in them. The only thing I have not done yet is to blow out the passages between float ball and the carb body. The quantity of fuel coming out of the line at the carbs when the ignition was turned on was quite significant. There was no air nor was there any debris in the fuel .
I have repaired cars that had identical running problems and in my mind it was a fuel starvation  or delivery problem. I  just hope I haven't been mislead and focussing on a fuel issue when it could be a bad coil or electronic ignition issue. I will be putting everything back together and moving to the ignition side next. There has to be a solution, all I have to do is find it!
Thanks all.
