I finally got my Midget back on the road today and put about 30 miles on
it with the top down which was pretty darn great. Then I took my 5 year
old for a ride
around the block and I don't know who had the bigger smile on their
face, me or him.
As part of getting the car back on the rode I ended up replacing the
clutch master and slave cylinders and the flexible hose that attaches to
the slave. I seriously must have spent close to 8 hours bleeding the
clutch and I still can't get all of the air out of the line. Is there
some trick to bleeding this system? I've been using a Mityvac to bleed
it since helpers are rare around these parts at the moment. I can drive
the car but the clutch could be a lot better from what I remember.
Also, thanks to everyone who answered my parts questions earlier in the
week. I got the correct ignition switch and the car starts right up even
in the freezing cold on the first turn of the key.
Thanks again,
Robert Weeks.
