Hey all,

Well, I thought that I had the misfiring prob. on the Midget licked by
securing the condensor. All the way to work this morning she stuttered and 
limped. I thought it was the cold (~25F) but shes been in worse and 
ran better. I got to work and checked the condensor...down firm. Damn.

You know...how can it be an electrical problem when it idles just fine,
but uder accelleration/cruising  it stumbles?

I've put a bit of cardbopard behind the grill, and let her get to op. temp. 
this morning (~15mins.!) before even backing out of the lot. I stil 
haven't put in the winter thermostat...maybe I'll do that this weekend...
even though spring is aroud the corner. Its a bit safer than using cardboard
and tin foil to cover the radiator!!

I'm ordering a colortune and carb balancer, new floats, and new needle/seats.
I cleaned the carbs when I rebuilt them 2 months ago...so they don't
need that. I will install a fuel filter too.

This is annoying...she ran beautifully last sunday too.

Marcus
