Fitted a powerspark electronic ignition system to my mini from www.simonbbc.com, it has made a huge difference to the running and feel of the car no more timing problems.

Gave it a treat and took it out for a drive after being parked up for 3-4 weeks for new front end and spray.

Cleaned up the engine, who would have known under all the filth that a goldseal engine really is gold lol!

Now toying with the idea of buying electronic ignition kit like killimari... especially with a day of fun and games learning to adjust timing and fuel mix.

based on much advice from this forum , I jet washed the engine after a soak with Gunk, came up very nice but two small issues: I stripped the paint from the rocker box (I was planning to respray it anyway so no big deal) and the small circular insert on the top of the brake master cylinder  resevoir cap went wizzing off like a flying saucer never to be seen again. Never jetwashed an engine bay before but spent some time protecting the electrics and afterwards it started first time

Yesterday: Spent the best part of the day wondering why the fuel pump wasn't pumping, taking bits apart and putting back together to find that all I needed some more fuel...
