Hi all,

      A couple of weeks ago I acquired a '76 Midget in very good 
condition.  It runs good, but as being somewhat unfamiliar with the 
performance of these cars, I have a couple of questions.  First, my 
acceleration is pretty slow just pushing on the gas, but when I pull out 
the manual choke, it picks up and goes pretty good.  Is this the way 
it's suppose to work or should it be doing that without me having to 
pull out the choke?
    Second, how fast are these cars suppose to go?  I still have the 
original carbs and all and I was wondering if it's performing the way it 
is supposed to?  I know these aren't speed demons or anything, but mine 
seems to top out at about 65-70mph.  I'm wanting to drive this car daily 
as my means of transportation and I'm just wondering is this about what 
everyone else gets?  Thanks in advance for the help.
