this is strange as the car was driven 5 weeks ago no problem
after a couple of tests as the car was running lumpy discovered o/s bank of cylinders was not firing...
so removed carb(webber) tested it and everything seems ok acceleration jets.ok float chamber seems ok
bit puzzled ...any advice would be great

Seems a bit of an odd symptom.
How exactly have you checked the carb?
I would check fuel delivery to the carburettor in question in case there is a blockage in that branch.
I would also check you are getting spark to that bank, could the distributor cap be loose and has lifted/tilted on one side?
Good luck and keep us updated.

Have you got one of those cheap spark tester pens to see if both plugs are firing ?

Dirt in an idle jet? But strange for both to be blocked. When did you last replace the soft fuel pipes? This is also a tiny filter in the carb if you have a Weber. Worth checking
