Im trying to get my mini to run properly...; one of the problems ive got is it seems stalved of fuel when reving.

The fuel filter barely fills up, fill up half way when engine off... then runs but then starts to run out of fuel... and coughs . The fule pump is def working but not dure if the fuel filter is a bit to big?

I have a pipe going from the pup to the carb and then one next to it connected to nothing can someone tell me where it should got please?

sorry pick is rubbish, also the black knob on the su carb.. is that to adjust the mixture?

 noooo:

Don't mention the mini............ rubschin:

The more quotes from other forums  I read in here the more convinced I am that there are a lot of happy people about...... If ignorance is truly bliss.  ::)

Actually, the colour could be British Racing Green. You could conclude from this that Mini owners are not the sharpest tools in the shed.
Not quite a regular ! Regular as clockwork me !
