- I just looked at a 1979 Midget--Professionally rebuilt motor, new clutch and pressure plate, new paint, new interior, top, etc--really looks good. Body Panels all look straight. Weber carbs. Can anyb

- I can't remember right now, but either in England or in Germany, Midgets are more expensive than Sprites of teh same year. I agree that most of these price guides don't apply too much to our cars. T

- I'd be willing to bet that that "bog" and "sluggishness" is associated with the Weber. It just sounds too close to my previous situation. I had the DOCE on my 948 unmolested (non-worked-head, non-ho

- Sounds like a deal! Best of luck with it. Regarding the weber as a cause of sluggishness, I'm told it's easy to over-carb a 948, but fortunately I never had any problems with my old 1500 Spit with a

- Yes, there is an adjustment - to your driving style! You are describing a weak synchro. To replace it, engine and trans need to be removed and the trans disassembled. When shifting up from 1st, take
