mini trouble

Try putting some fresh engine oil in the carb dashpot for starters perhaps?

And when were the electrics last changed? It might be time to renew the Dizzy Cap, Rotor Arm, HT Leads, (points & condensor if it has them too, but by then I think all models were electronic?) and Spark Plugs (NGK are superb I find!).

Plus when did it get a full service? Mini's like fresh engine oil and clean air filters too and how about the valve clearances (tappets), when were they last adjusted?

Well there's a few things to go on, but it could just need a good crypton tune anyway.

It was in 4 a full sevice and tune in august thats wots strange, i took it to nationwide autos! However i have a new mini so it's only getting driven once a week! thanks for the reply taffy

A new WHAT?

so it's only getting driven

That aside does the mini have points in the distributor - if it does check the gap these close and difficult to start.

Just to inform u taffy when i say new mini, i dont mean a bwm,i mean new to me. i got a 1993 italian job classic! U shouldnt Assume the worst!!!

Don't worry Rich, I myself didn't make that abusive post mate.

Can't afford a new car huh? What is a bwm? Why don't you grow up and get a real car? Mini's are for kids.

Taffy's Bread Pudding This is one of my favorite comfort foods, and the only kind of Limey pudding I love. It's delicious as an autumn or winter snack... and on cold mornings, it's my boyfriends favorite breakfast.

• half stick of butter or margarine (I like Land O Lakes Sweet Cream Cum Spread)
• 2 cups milk
• 3 eggs
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 tsp. cinnamon or nutmeg

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large bowl, blend everything together. Tear off cloths and rub hot oil all over boyfriend?s chest. Blend well. Add bread mixture to scalded milk. Stir. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until golden-crusted. Let sit 5 minutes before having wild man sex with a totally hairy stranger.

Yes I would try the points ensure they can close nup very quickly some of the ones available nowadays seam to wers dow the plastic cam leaver very quickly. Set the gap and lubricate the shaft with a very thin light smear of grease.

Cheers

Lubricate your own shaft turdo.

Why? you want him to take you up the ass? h*mo!

Make sure you set the gap before putting grease on the shaft. I find a few bob spent on a dwell meter to be worthwhile. You can check the gap by simply clipping the meter to the coil and earth. New points do tend to wear closed as Turbo Jo says. I set them on the larger end of the gap range, say

Graham L

Yeah...you sick bitch! Now lubricate your little f*ck shaft and lets sword fight.

Don't let your points wear too much and go ahead and splurge....grease your shaft and give it to Bob.

Dwell is not that important for a 4 cylinder car as there is enough dwell time for storage. Its the point gap set correctly is all that matters.

Hi All, Dwell = gap........ its just another way of setting the points gap, The wider the angle = the narrower the gap The narrower the angle = the wider the gap, so when setting the Dwell angle, remove spark plugs, (not necessary, but helps spin the engine faster)..... connect Dwell meter, put screwdriver in the adjuster slot in points, crank engine, set Dwell to the lower end of scale, (ie) a mini is 57 + or minus 3 , set to 54, this is the widest gap setting, and as we all know, points always close when the heel wears down, so should still be within the initial dwell spec, HTH Fitzy
