Not really, but I am very PO'd today. Been a couple weeks since I  
drove the Midget, but I had an appointment for an inspection this AM.  
I went out last evening to be sure of all the lights. It was raining.  
I don't have a garage, yet. All the lights worked, but it wouldn't  
start. No biggie I thought, ran great the last time I drove it. Well,  
this AM I went to start it and no go. nothing, nada, zip, zilch. Turns  
over just fine. I checked the fuel filter, one of those glass ones I  
stuck in between the mechanical pump and the Weber carb. Dry. Tried  
again, and again, added fuel to the tank, still dry. Changed the pump,  
still dry.

For some reason , no fuel is getting to the carbs. My guess, given how  
hard the hose was between the tranny crossover and the pump, is I am  
just sucking air. It sucks, It ran a couple weeks ago.

Well I guess I have to go get a bunch of fuel line and try again. Wish  
I had a garage, Oh and did I mention, It was raining, all night and  
all AM.

One of these days, you'll look back on all this, and plow into a  
parked car.
