Oscar,
I am forwarding your message to a couple of Sprite Midget lists for more
help. Guys, if you can help Oscar, send him mail at biondioe@yahoo.com
Personally, depending on what you are paying for the car. I would be much
more worried about ANY rust or body work the car needs. Engines are out
there to be had for a reasonable price, but rust is a killer (my car is a
great example of that :) )
The choke doesn't sound right to me, but others can shed better light on
that than me, so I will defer to them.
Good Luck.
Patton
