Running rich on one cylinder
Turbo Mini Forums

Okay, I think I may know the problem, but I want some sort of confirmation. I just put a new head on my mini and at the same time I cut off the intake to install an aluminum one from Minispares. Is it possible that my one rich running cylinder is from the new intake? And would I need to get the needle re-profiled?

Not sure I understand..

can you run that by us again??

which cylinder, what makes you think its rich?? unlikely that one would be rich, maybe a sticky valve??

a cylinder that looks like its running rich on the plugs is usually a cylinder which has lower compression than the others, poor valve seats, sticky valve, cracked rings etc.
