Hi,
I'm complete newbie to Minis and only bought my first one last week so forgive me if I'm asking obvious questions.
I bought a 1993 Saloon Sprite. 1275CC Automatic. Crimson Red at the minute.
After a battery charge and a bit of trying I got it started. Although she cut out unexpectedly after about 3-4mins. I think the car has been sitting for years and I think the fuel may be off. I siphoned a little out but this being my first car (I can't even drive yet lol!) I know nothing. I've attached a picture of the fuel i siphoned so I wonder could someone help me - is it off and also would this prevent the car from starting / running for long?
Also will draining the tank and putting fresh fuel in cure the issue or do I need to clean out the carb too?
Any help very much appreciated!
Thanks!
