          I once spent a winter evening in my MGB-GT with the battery
      cover off of the car so I could tap the fuel pump with the lug
      wrench every 10 miles for 130 miles to keep enough fuel flowing to
      get me home.  SU Fuel pumps don't really die, they become zombies
      that need to be resurrected.<br>
          I had a similar problem to yours that turned out to be worn
      needles and seats in the carbs.  The seats were worn to a point
      that the needles would stick.  Sometimes the rattle from the last
      gasp of the engine would shake them loose, other times a quick rap
      from the handle end of a screwdriver would shake them loose.  Real
      Grose jets cured the issue.<br>

              > My car has developed a problem..... The last few
              times I have driven the car it does the same thing. It
              will be running just fine and then it will start to act as
              if it is running out of gas. Stumbling and trying to
              die.... After I bleep the throttle a few times thinking it
              is truly "AAA time" the car will run just fine. There is a
              fuel filter between the gas tank and fuel pump. The filter
              doesn't look freshly installed, however, it is not needing
              replacement. The fuel pump is an electronic unit not SU.
              Should I suspect the fuel pump? In the past when I needed
              to replace a pump it was dead --- not working part of the
              time and fine later. What should I check first??? Arch<br>
