Today driving my mini it was running really rich, the lambda guage showed fully red all the way, i checked all the pipes and choke and it all was fine.

could it be a lose wire or your fuel pipes were to big and now youve squised them to normal size lol no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.

Could just be that you had some muck under the float needle valve and the leap over the bridge shifted it.

Don't take the carb off if it's alright now. ok, ive never really dismantled a turbo one properly, i was wondering if anything was under the plate underneath. Ill take off the dash pot and check its all clear under there. Thank you James Previous Engine: 1040cc Morespeed engine, 1275 turbo head T2 Turbo Mirage Manifolds Megajolt

simple test is to take off dash pot and turn on fuel pump if fuel is being pumped up through the main jet then the float needle is not seating properly or like me the float needs changing because it had fuel init, this is the first place to check always looking for them bigger bunches of bannanas |
