Hi there!
Having had a '71 Midget decades ago, my son was inspired to buy a '75 that after a month tossed the thrust bearing into the oil pan. Given it was a now non running project I acquired a dissassembled '76 that had been in a garage for 15 yrs. The intent was to get 1 decent car out of the pile.
Boy lost interest, I got tired of not having the barn space, and the piles were sold off for a pittance.
Fast forward to 2022, my younger son sees an add for a '74 Midget "with a 1500 engine" for sale 2 miles away. Being sold to settle an estate. The seller didn't understand why no interest, I did not clear it up for him, and a deal was made. Had the stuck needle on the rear carb fixed in 30 minutes, and the 1275 has been running really well ever since!!
 
welcome indeed from another Midget owner. come on over to the Spridget forum if you want to chat specifics
