I'm with Aaron....
Or, it could be some other leccy prob. I had an LJ Torrie years ago that did similar things. I replaced the motor entirely and it still did the same. I put it down to a wiring fault....never did fix it....just sold the car.

Hey everyone, My father and I have been trying to fix our poor lil' clubbie and we have run out of ideas, the mini in question is playing up and we have done every thing but take the motor out and rebuild it (not to keen on that idea) the symptoms include; when started and taken onto the road and then accelerate the power dies and when up to speed it isn't constent we often have to keep accelerating and decelerating to keep it at a constent speed so we have replaced; the high tension leads, the rotor for the dizzy, the points for the dizzy, the condenser for the dizzy, the spark plugs, coil, tuned the carbie and fixed the timing. But it is still fouling up something cronic. If anyone can help with information it would be greatly needed. Pat |

Try a completly different dizzy it sounds like the springs are shot and it is changing the advance curve hence timming. Cheers Aaron |

yeah they are. I would be surprised if they arent identicle and there only a year apart in age. Of course they will probably different as they may have been swapped at somepoint in the last 30years. Cheers aaron |
