Right i am yet to get the mini set up correctly as i am still in the build process but i have something im sure you chaps can help me on.

I know it is warm weather at the moment but my mini starts first time from cold with no choke at all and seems to smoke a little bit,does this mean its running too rich???.

I know i have to have it set up right but i would like to get it as close as i can before hand to prevent any damage.

cheers

rich is better than lean. Water colour is the smoke? Blue/grey/black?

I would say its closer to grey but hard to tell as its in a barn. It also smells a bit fuely but i guess thats standard.

dont go too rich, it could wet the bore walls, not good atall , grey smoke would indicate rich,
