So I'm getting close to the point of actually being able to drive my mini but I'm having a weird issue that was apparent before and now after the carb rebuild and stage 1 kit.
In first and second (also 3rd but to a much lesser degree) if I give a c-hair worth of accelerator the car jerks forward rather violently, not like normal manual things I mean violently enough your head wants to bobble like a hula girl. Same happens if at a slow speed I let go of the accelerator it instantly feels like I hit a wall. This is after the car has had time to warm up properly i should probably add.
Also after the stage kit I noticed it was bogging out a bit on startup if I applied to much accelerator, pulling the choke cable about 1/8th seemed to have stopped that. But now it accelerates nicely in neutral and when I pop it into gear I get a bit of power and then its like the clutch slips or something because it loses all its momentum and even full accelerator it just putts slowly for about 5 seconds then suddenly catches and I have power again. Does this right up the gear range 1-4.
also it might be worth adding, anyone know if the gaz adjustable shocks need time to break in or something? I've got them 3 ticks for the softest setting and its like I have no shocks at all and super rough. When I put them in it also seemed like they were not returning properly, but all 4 did the same thing.
