Translation:I have a probem with my Mini, I think it is most likely a carb problem. I recently fitted an LCB and inlet manifold, ever since then my mini has been a bit hard to start, it's as if it's bleeding the whole fuel line before it fires up (its turning over around 6 or 7 times before it starts)

Can anyone shed light on this ??


Answer: I think that it is unlikely that the float bowl is emptying meaning it is difficult to start. Have you also change the airfilter?

It may just need richening up. The fuelling requirements will be different with eth new exhaust and inlet, have you changed the carb needle?

Come on, there is a difference between one sausage finger mistake and a total lack of grammar, punctuation and sense!

you changed the exhaust manifold, so i would guess leak on the inlet system after the carb ( ie at the inlet/exhaust gasket )

Yes i moved to the darkside *happy*
