It was in the 70's yesterday, so I took my 1980 MGB out for a ride. My current carb is a Weber 38 DGES that I installed when I replaced the cam two years ago. I drove around last year and it was running well, until one day when I stopped at a store for a few minutes and then couldn't get the car restarted. After trying to get it going I wound up calling my daughter for help and we got it push-started. Yesterday the same thing happened. After the push start the car ran fine, but I just drove it home rather than risk another problem. I was trying some starter fluid to get it going yesterday, but that didn't work. I thought that maybe the gas in the tank is old, but the car started up after a little cranking when I originally left the house.

Any suggestions on where to look? I didn't plumb the coolant line through the manifold to heat it, but I don't drive too much in cold weather so I didn't think it would be needed. I thought that the problem last summer could have been vapor lock, but starter fluid should have worked if that was the issue.
