Jim,
I am no expert but I have a stock 77 Midget with dual SU. I had
problems 1 and 2. I could not figure it out until the car started to
run really badly and would only smooth out when I applied some choke.
The problem was a small intake leak that got big. Just an idea but I
would wait and see what the experts have to say about my idea. JM2C.
Oh yeah, the 77 Midget came with a single ZS so the car is not quite
stock.
