A little long distance diagnoisis from the list....  My 70 Midget (1275,points, 
all stock)runs fine for a while, but after it gets good and warmed up/hot 
(usually 15 or 20 minutes), it develops a miss and loss of power at low speed.  
I mostly notice it speeding up after turns, around 2000, 2500 rpm.  My guesses 
are bad gas, dying coil (its a blue Bosch I put in 10 or more years ago).  The 
points/condensor aren't new, but don't have many miles on them.  Same with the 
plugs, cap & rotor.  I don't think it's overheating, since it never has.  
However, the magic is gone from my capillary tube, so I can't be sure.  Any 
suggestions/ideas?
