Sounds like the carb needle or you've disturbed something on the carb.

Ill take the carb apart tomorrow and have a look at the needle and jet nozzle

ahaha I'm afraid it's my first old car in fact it's older than me ... the mini is 1986 I'm 1996 ! When I first got it seemed the choke could be eased in faster but I guess weather was hotter but thank you for your help
