actually got the mini running today. all it was stopping it was the float chamber breather being blanked off. i took the pipe off to open the breather up and it fired straight away!!!! grinning from ear to ear now since it hasnt run really for 4 years. yes i got video evidence too.

balls to the blower!!!

it will cut out in boost now though *wink* ,
have a look at the plenum to carb gasket ...i bet either that is the wrong one ( or wrong way round)

.. or search T peice mod (trick)

converted N/a carb? if not it could be likely the air ways that 'vent' the float chamber could be blocked - i have seen it on both my turbo carbs

converted N/A carb? .. you NEED the t piece trick unless you have drilled the air passages in the carb body?

1 and 3 are linked internal on a turbo carb but not an NA carb (red line ) the hole is there on the NA but is not complete all the way through .. 3 then needs to be blocked

Bare with me these are made on a phone *happy*

There is no lean off on the NA carb so this is easy to do (drilling requires removing the carb)
Also known as the T piece
If you want the lean off i can show you some top secret pics of my settup

righty. i went out today and realised the drilling dosnt go through from the plenum all the way. i decided to drill out the blank #4 and insert a stub and connected that to the t piece trick. ran loads better and even revved up. still coughing and spluttering a bit plus its a bit smokey, sure a correct needle and a set up on the rollers will be good!

cheers for the help brett, i do apprieciate it. if you need anything,m just give me a shout. :)

right so you have drilled and inserted a no/4 what you done with 3/7?

it still needs to be blocked or it will act as an infinite lean off when on boost, i know because i use my ecu to control the flow through this when cruising

if you apply a vacuum to it whilst on cruise same again it leans off this can be controlled to give very good mpg

eg i do this and aim for around 16-18afr i get 45mpg @70m mph then when i floor it the ecu takes over the leanoff and the carb feeds fuel via the needle and jet
