'79 midget with z-s carb.... California car
The car was up on blocks for a couple of weeks while I fitted a gear reduction starter.... That works great.
The car was backfiring (at the carb)and sputtering after shifting from second to thrid and third to fourth.
I discovered there was no oil in the dashpot so I filled it up. The backfiring and sputtering is MUCH better now, but it will still do it (esp in 3rd) right around 2K rpm. Overall the car's very sluggish.
I'm thinking that the backfiring either damaged the carb or totally messed up the settings.
Any words of wisdom?????
