Going off your previous topic with overfueling. Try this

2 of those needle are near enough same profile as a standard AAC needle.

ABQ is the only one with any real difference but only marginally richer.

But minispares sell the ABQ

Why are you looking for these needles? Most engines respond well to AAA needle - it's all you need.

[robbie-woods]

perfect they even had them all in stock cheers

[robbie-woods]

never using AAA again not good for a 998 engine just floods it and makes it run so badly

[bmcecosse]

Not so! Must be something wrong with yours - it works prefectly in most 998/1098 engines!

I've fitted AAA to two different minis both running brilliant done thousands of miles on them, no problems at all, emmisions spot on.
You'll find your in a minority with your opinion of the AAA lots of people use it.

From the spec you mentioned in your last topic AAA or AAU should work no problems. I'd say the fault lies else where, either the jet is worn or something else.
The AAU is weaker than the AAA so personally I'd give the AAU a try rather than those other needles you mention.

the thing is in summer i had the AAA needle in the car and it was running amazing and since this freezing weather its been running realy bad i think it might just be the cold weather causing this but even mini spares and mini sport have said to me that AAA is to rich for the car so someone out there must know the right answer

Whats your complete engine spec?
And by the way, if you have flooding issues with AAA needles, that means you've a different problem, due to a worn needle valve in the float chamber or again, the float itself incorrectly aligned with the carb.
