| Post subject: | Mini Back Firing - Help!! |
Hi, Last week my mini was running well, though as i got close to home it lost power and started to stall. I had a play around with it today, and it seems to idle okay, though as i slowly increase the revs it starts to cough and splutter and backfire. I have checked the carbys and spreayed some cleaner down their throats though it didnt make much difference. I also removed the plugs and they were sooted up quite badly, I cleaned them up though it hasnt made much of a difference. Any suggestions as to what the problem may be? any help is appreciated!! Thanks Roc |

I'd be saying timing. Have you marked where where the dizzy prior and now retarded. The other thing could be the Piston in the SU could be sticking |

Hi Roc! From what I can gather from your symptoms, I wouldn't mind betting it's your condenser in your dissy. Providing you have a standard mini one that is. I had a similar problem with my mini once. A new condenser to replace the day old Bosch one cured it. Regards, Lindsay |

+1 for okminik. When mine backfired badly I found that there was a small crack in the distributor cap. Replacing the cap, condensor and rotor solved the problem. Just remember to set the correct gap for the points. |
