Q & A: MGB Starting

I have a 1979 mgb and cannot figure what is the problem with my mgb. The car starts up but then dies even when I start the car and then pump the peddle nothing happens just dies out. Have changed the distributor to point took out the electronic distibutor. Changed the cylinder.Changed the needle in the carburator also took the hose from the carburator and there is gas when the key is on.
What else do you think I can try to get my 1979 MGB to run?
Thank you

Tip of the Day
It makes no difference how quickly your MG will accelerate if it cannot
stop! The proper functioning of your brakes must ALWAYS be at the
top of your list of priorities. You owe this degree of safety to yourself,
your passenger, and all others on the road.
John H. Twist (Fall, 1980)
