I really dont know where to start on the carb.problems of this 79 Midget. The idle on this car was real rough. It wouldnt idle but would just die. On the road it runs like a scared rabbit. Smooth and powerful.Take your foot off the pedal and it drops to zero rpms and dies and the warmer the weather the worse it gets. I replaced the carbs and the situation was even worse. The engine just sitting there and running would go up to 3500 rpm then down to 500 rpm then up and down and this went on and on. I took the oil cap off and it went to 2000 rpm and it stayed there put the cap back on and it went down and died. Started it back up and it went to 4000 rpm and I shut it off before it exploded.I do run a ignitor ign system. Im at a loss as to whats wrong with this crazy engine, Disconnect any hose (emmission) and you get different results. As it is now I'll never be able to run this car again until I can sort out this insane engine. I cant figure out if its the distributor i.e. electrical or a carb problem Remember I changed the carbs and got basically the same results. Man I need HELP..Hope someone has a solution because mechanis around here think Im nuts. I dont take it to them because no one around here knows anything abouth thrdr little cars.(zenith carb)
