as above i am after any if how to check over the mini a 1000 with auto engine

make sure its all okay

 

H reg.. MK3??

 

 

First thing i want to sort is the engine.. i want to give it a clean bill of health, it struggled to do anything over 60 last night on way home before a lorry soaked it and had to get it recovered home??

 

It was running this morning but does struggle to catch and start

 

used no oil or water last night on the way home,

beginning of last year it had new dizzy cap, rota and leads its also been sat a while.

 

so i am thinking

oil, filter, air filter, dizzy cap, rota leads, plugs

 

also check the timing, what is the timing supposed to be and easy to check?,

 

I have always done my own work on cars, but first tiem with a carb (i'm usually under a jap car) but wanting to learn

 

what else do i need to check and how? any help for how to do a general tune up would be great..

 

Also when it is in D or any gear the revs drop so low it trys to cut out, should i just raise the idle, if so how?

 

Many thanks for any help,

we will be at the mini fair at brands next weekend :)
