[Mgs] Update -- 80 MGB: Faulty coil and fuel pump

[Paul Hunt]

After cranking for a few moments take one or more plugs out.  If fuel is 
getting through there should be a strong fuel smell.  No fuel smell no fuel. 
If you blow gently into the float chamber vent port while looking at the jet 
you *should* see fuel bubbling up if there is any in the float chamber and 
the jet isn't blocked.  If they are wet it is flooded, although if you still 
have the auto choke that is unlikely unless the choke is stuck on.  Even if 
you have a fuel smell if the choke is stuck off there may not be enough to 
start in cool conditions.
