Hi All, 

 

ive got a problem with my mini loosing power straight after she's started. 

 

I can get her going but she's not idling correctly, even though its been adjusted, and then the revs just get lower and lower until she cuts out. Only way to keep them up is foot on the accelerator.

 

I haven't been keeping the choke on as i think it may be flooding. When i try to restart her afters shes cut out i have to have my foot on the throttle, indicating she flooding?

 

At a guess I would say its got to be a fuelling or electrical problem right? 

 

Thanks!

Have you checked the timing?

I haven't no, it was alright about 4 days ago, I had a leak from the radiator which I've now fixed and now she's just not right :/

Check the timing, and then check for vacuum leaks and manifold leaks
