Bill,
Sounds like the Sprite I purchased from your brother Don.
Drove it for a year whenever I could and then one night when I filled it
with oil and came home 8 hrs later with the engine 3qts low I figured it was
time to rebuild (thanks dad). Now in texas I enjoy it even more. And
I still haven't fixed that fuel gauge since I bought it. It gives it class,
but for some reason I keep forgetting to fill up the spare can in the
trunk....... Maybe one day I'll figure that out.
