                                     hi all just replaced the coil, points, condensor, rotor arm, dizzy cap, plugs n leads, new float needle, new wax stat jet, new AAc needle- Mini is vastly improved , starts on the button, pulls smoothly in all gears.........until i hit 4th gear then it bogs down, any ideas?

its got a K&N filter and full free flow exhaust

When was the ignition system last serviced? Try another, different branded coil.

I had this issue on my 998 a few years ago, ironically after a clutch and water pump change... We changed the carb, complete known working electronic dizzy and new (eBay sourced) coil (car has a 65D dizzy and GCL143 equivalent coil) the issue actually got worse.

We changed to a locally sourced coil and it never misses a beat.

Has it got a high final drive ratio?  That kills fourth gear acceleration.

Ignition just done, - its booked in for a tune up weds ,im pretty  final drive is standard BL but its odd its only bogging in 4th

 

thanks for replys

Could be the fuel filter.

.....well bogging much better, id fitted a non wax stat jet , which looked new ish and my new needle, they obviously didnt match hence the bogging, ive since replcaced with a wax stat jet and matching needle, and its 90% better, i think ive been a bit to harsh with the mini as im so used to modern TDI diesels.

 I ve looked at engine conversions, but i dont want to go through all the hacking and chopping

Ive had the Mini upto 75mph, it was screaming , what sort of cruising speed would a 1275 do??

 Its looking hard though now to find a good 1275 or 1300 forsale???

With a 3.44:1 final drive, your tach should show about 3650 RPM @ 60 MPH on ten inch tires, regardless of engine size.
