By accident, I acquired a '72 Midget last week (I swear, it just followed me home). Tonight, I had it out for the first time, running a few errands and getting about five miles from home. On the way

Bad floats or valve will pour fuel out of the overflows. If the car has the carbon canister it will be visible there. But blue smoke is usually oil, and if it had been so rich due to floats it stalle

Also if there is a carbon cannister there are rubber fuel lines in the trunk that rot out. Pete /// or try http://www.team.net/cgi-bin/majorcool /// Archives at http://www.team.net/archive

If it reeks of gas when running, it's obviously flooding. That smoke you thought was blue, could have been black. The fact that the problem came and went doesn't indicate major internal engine proble

Same problem this morning. Just fine for a few blocks and then I seem to be running on two cylinders. Compression check shows 110 all around. Plugs are wet. Like I said, I don't know a thing about SU

If you really want to clean the valve you need to remove the cover from the float chamber. Extremely simple, all you need is a flat-bladed screwdriver. Detach the fuel line and overflow hose (if pres

Could be. It's also possible that the front is stuck open and all the gas is going to it. But I doubt it. That's stuff for religious wars. 20wt, 10w30, Marvel Mystery Oil. 3-in-1 oil. What's sitting
