Last week I asked about round-arch Midgets, as a friend had one.

Well, I now own that car.  Silly me, I couldn't pass up a nearly rust-free
1275 Midget.  It needs some work, as it hasn't been on the road for a while,
but it's basically solid, shows good compression, has a straight body, a new
top, a rebuilt gearbox/new clutch, new carpet, etc., and it was cheap.

This weekend I'll attack it with an eye toward making it driveable (new
battery, new coil, install turn signal switch, mount bonnet).  With any luck,
I'll get to (illegally) run around town in it by Sunday.

I do have one initial question.  Can anyone, off the top of their head, draw
me an ASCII diagram of the fuel line routing for a 1275 with dual HS4's?  I
had one bad experience with ruptured fuel lines on a Spite, and I don't want
to repeat the incident.

BTW, the engine is sans air pump.  The holes in the head are plugged.  Will
this cause me any problems?  Texas has no emissions testing.

                                                                        Ken
