MG MGA - SU over flow pipe

This site can sure save a person a lot of grief. Been working on a 59 MGA that a friend started and let set for 15 yrs. I bought it and have got it going, but the engine ran rough when warmed up. went through the ignition- no luck. Carbs seemed O.K. Looking at a post on the TD site,( I have one) someone put an article From Jim Taylor on all the quirks on the S.U. Carbs. What He said about the overflow pipes being plugged sounded like my troubles. Sure enough one pipe had a mud dobber nest. Engine running good now. I would never have found that.
