I have Haynes and Bentley manuals (along with others) for the Midgets
and I must say, the wiring diagrams in Bentley's are worth the extra
cost of the manual. Haynes has maybe, 6, or so, different ones, where
Bentley has over a dozen variations! If you want accurate diagrams, get
the Bentley. On the other hand, I find the instructions in Haynes seem
to be easier for a novice to follow. If you must only get one, get the
Bentley, but it's worth the $10-$15 to get a Haynes as well, IMHO.

Don't assume that because you have found one problem, you have found the
ONLY problem.
