Irish Mini Owners Club

What spec is the engine? CR ,cam, Needel, dizzy?

i dont no the cr or the cam but the needle is from my brothers crashed cooper (along with the carb) it says BBZ on it and it is really rich at the moment and by rich i mean 12mpg rich and the dizzy is an aidon performance one. i went to the garage the next day and he said that it was a bit of bair wire from the coil to the dizzy so he taped that and now its fine. i have done 411 of the 1000 miles in 1 week so flat out soon

Glad to hear it was only a small problem.The BBZ is a good place to start to get the engine running and do a few miles but you would want to tune it before pushing it harder.Without the CR and cam type you'll need a rolling road and make sure they have a stock of needles rof your HIF carb.

your going to have teething problems until you get it set up properly a lad in our group has the same engine as you and is having the same problems, dont worry about the brakes all us mini drivers are used of havng none most of the times anyway

the milage is up so i am just waitng for the new needle to come then i will think about putting on a twin carb befor the brakes get renewed.
