MG MGF Technical - Starting problems

My neighbour has recently bought an MGB from 77, restored and equipped with a Weber carb, model ....
It ran good untill yesterday, when he wanted to start the car. It cranks over quickly, it starts running but after one or 2 seconds it stops again. The spark plugs are ok, and it does fire. Also checked the fuel pump, which works ok, the fuel is running into the carb. I think the carb is the problem, but what I donot understand is that the car was running fine before. Can the coil also be the problem or is it the carb? Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi Richard,

Wrong board I think, this is MGF Technical.

Cheers,
