It is also that way on the 72, 73, and 74 Midgets I have owned. I had
similar issues with fuel smell in my 74 and eventually discovered that the
rubber of the hoses to and from that boot-mounted cannister were rotted
away, although the steel mesh on them made it hard to tell until I pulled
them, plugged one end and blew into the other. I was unable to find suitable
replacements, so I used a cut-off wheel on my Dremel to dissect them and
replaced them with plain rubber fuel line held onto the original fittings
with hose clamps. End of problem.
