Boy,

The Midget really is sucking gas like theres no tomorrow...I just had
a quick joy ride for 1/2 hour, did 12 miles and used a 1/3 tank of
gas (~under 5 miles per gallon!!). To make it drivable I have to pull 
on the choke and make it idle at 2500! It can idle lower to around 1500,
where it idles and sounds good, if I try to pull away it stalls/stutters,
so I quickly have to pull the idle back to 2500. 

I will have to have a go at tuning the carbs this weekend me thinks!.
