[Spridgets] It Runs, again

[Larry Macy]

Well better,

I had asked about melted points a few weeks ago. I changed the points  
(and lubed them) and still had a bad miss. I changed the coil, but not  
the cap, wires. And still it had a miss. While at the Holy Sprite  
assembly I cleaned the carb (Weber downdraft). This weekend I stuck it  
back on and also changed the condenser. Now I am not sure which of the  
2 fixed the problem, but the Midget runs better than it has in a  
while. The carb has been on the car for about 12 years with nothing  
done to it except adjusting, so I am sure a cleaning did a lot for it.

One of these days I will stick the old condenser back in, just to see.  
Well it is not really an "old" condenser, it came when Jeff from  
Advanced Distributors put the new dizzy in.

But the fun part is I can now drive till the snow flies!! (and maybe  
even after that ;-)
