[Mgs] MGA FUEL PUMP

[thgun at comporium.net]

What is the best way to check an original MGA fuel pump. This car has been sitting for a year. I get gas to the carbs but when I took the car for a test it seemed like the engine was starved for fuel. I have just replaced the head and the engine is now running. Seems to idle a little rough but will run on its own. Do I need to rebuild my carbs?
