..to getting on the road. Worked all day Sunday on the Midget.
Relocated radiator fill tank (would not fit w/dual carbs)
Bled brakes.
Bled clutch slave (a struggle even with Snap-On automatic
bleeder thanks to brother-in-law).
All new fluids (trans was a bugger without a pump).
Brake switch installed (forgot to install in housing
when I installed it).
New exhaust down pipe almost in (broke last bolt trying to
get it tight).
New Petronix module in Mallory w/new coil (more below)
Repaired emergency brake cable adjuster strap (used old
raditor hose).

Still to do..
New choke cable - both old cable and new one aren't long
enough for dual carbs.
Replace fuel line and vent line from rear to front - fuel
line should have been on other side to begin with.
Finish exhaust.
Install shifter - darn metric bolts.
Wiring issue - when PO installed Mallory he did some
strange things to coil/distributor/resistor wiring -
figured it out and got spark - just need to dress it up.
Fresh gas.
Install new speedo cable and wire reverse lights.

So close.
 
Excellent, moveing on and so close.
