I knew when I bought the Midget that it was going to need an engine
overhaul soon. One plug showed signs of burning a little oil. I had
hoped to stretch it through the summer, BUT, oil seems to be vanishing
from the engine. No major oil leaks, and it doesn't appear to smoke, at
least not excessive enough to see when I'm driving, and not at all when
idling. Seems to have adequate power. However, it uses a quart of oil in
about a hundred miles. If it was burning this much, it seems it would be
fouling plugs or smoking. Any ideas?
