[TR] Missing MG midget

[TERRY SMITH]

So it sounds like it runs fine, then begins missing when driving.  Does it begin missing immediately when under load?  Just wondering if the spark plug wires might be old and arcing under the insulation.  That or something else with the ignition, such as Greg's thought about the coil which would especially show itself when warmed up.
