evening all.

well over the last two days somthing happen to my mini El Gordo (austin 1980 mini HL). all my acceleration is gone....well i mean its dosen;t seem as good before i get a little pinned back and it seemed to accerate really well but now it dosen;t. i don't know if its me or not tho. i cheacked the oil and water their all good. my exsaught is blowing as normaly......i'll fix that one day. not carring any extra weight. tire pressure is normaly. i don't know what it is. just dosen;t seem to accelerate as fast anymore.

any ideas or is it just me?

have you changed anything like adding a stage 1 kit?

Also it might just need a good service with points and oil and dashpot oil?

[Big_Adam]

haven't added a stage 1 or anything.

did the dashpot oil today but its seemed a little lacking for the past few days, havn't done the point clearence. althougth i think they've been done but i shall cheack them......err.....what should they be on a 998 in an 82 car?

How long since you changed the air filter?

[Big_Adam]
