[Spridgets] 1500 1976 Midget

[Michael Conn]

Derf,

My friend replaced the alternator as you suggested, and all is now well in 
that area.   My friend thanks you for your help.

Having got the vehicle back on the road it will try to die on him at, say, 
traffic lights.   To keep it going he has to press down on the gas pedal. 
The vehicle back-fires when he switches off.   Sounds like dirt in the fuel 
system, maybe water in the system from standing so long and/or old gas. 
Any thoughts, please?

Michael
