New here and a new 79 Midget owner. Love the car, funner than a motor bike! The carb is very hard to get used to though.
I've rebuilt it, reset the choke using boiling water method. Just can't get the float right. Can someone give me detailed instructions and measurements so I can get the car on the road again? It's the single Zenith carb with water choke.

Thanks much!

Maddy, Try this link. Its John Twist of University Motors message on rebuilding a Zenith. Might help.
