A couple of questions.

1. Recently the zipper for the plastic back window on my softtop has been
giving me big prolems in one corner. It gets stucka nd jumps teeth. I can't
get it back right and have to fight for about 1/2 hour to zip/unzip. Is
there a standard lubricant I could use or another trick someone knows to
alleviate this problem?

2. Also recently my 80 Spit has been bogging down sometimes when I step on
the gas hard at the line. It will go for about 1/2 second, then totally let
off, then I have to let off the gas and start again - creating a "lunge
people forward" effect. Any suggestions? Happens only when up to temp.

3. My car is fine with idling after it has warmed up. I may tavel 100s of
clicks on the road, but if I stop for about 30 seconds (to run into the
store, ring a doorbell, etc) when I get back in and start the car it will
not idle properly and will dead stall if I let off the gas. Then, after
about another minute of driving it is fine. Something settling in the carb?
Suggestions? Again, only happens when the car is up to temp or hot.

Thanks for any help. Also thanks to the people that helped me determine the
year of my Spit/dizzy.
