Yes, I 'm a newbie. proud owner of a 1961 Austin Mini, fitted with an MG Metro Turbo...ERA? best I can tell. The car runs rich. Clouds of unspent fuel upon take off, runs great at speed. Also fouls plugs fast. Second, fuel pump sends extra fuel back to tank, this makes for gas vapor that enters cabin, makes driver and passanger sick. I'm in Seattle Washington U.S.A. people here have never seen one let alone work on one. Mini has flares, disk brakes and Gull Wing Doors! Dan
