fuel.<br>

I have a 72 mgb which runs and drives quite nicely. After sitting overnight, I have to use starter fluid to start it. just full choke doesn?t do it.<br>
<br>
After that, no problems. Turn it off, back on, no problems. Not sure how long it has to sit to exhibit this issue.<br>
<br>
Timing looks ok, carbs in decent shape and recently tuned, relatively new spark plugs, etc.<br>
<br>
Where should I look?<br>
