RE: '79 Midget backfire

Carburetor is a 45DE4 with 44A Jet needle

[mgraziano] I've got it.  You've got a distributor as a carburetor.  THat'll
cause problems every time.

'78 Midget

(is this a new problem?  Any noise from the timing chain area? Is the
diaphram you speak of the diaphram under the ZS cap?  Have you checked the
coil and plugs?  points if converted to points?  how about loose electrical
components in the elelctronic ignition?  which ignition do you have?  Only
when hot?  Only when cold? )
