I just picked up my 1971 Midget this Saturday /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif and I LOVE IT.
I am having some problems at low speed though. When I slow down I have to rev the engine or pull the choke to keep it engine running. The car was sitting for the last 10-15 years, the gas was already changed out and some cleaning using a gas additive.
I am thinking it may be the timing or the carbs need to be rebuilt to really clean them. Any thoughts on what may cause the problem.
btw: I am a novice (at best) with auto repair. I am just starting and may need answers to be dumbed down to my level (5th grade should be OK /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif ). So please, take it easy on me.
