Mines running crap at night with the cold
It won't idle yet fine when during the day when it's warmer
I don't know how the poms get on with their VMAXSCART kits

Wondering if anyone else is experiencing this as the winter nights come upon us...during the day the mini doesn't miss a beat, but driving after 6pm it often bogs down under around 2k revs and needs a good rev to get off the line... Idles fine however and I've even rubber gloved the dissy. Thoughts? |

If it does run better, wind the main jet down about 1/2 a turn. |

I'd go with the carby settings need tweeking, but, Loose the glove on the dizzy, if moisture gets in it can't get out. A good condition cap and leads should be able to cope with a garden hose without a problem. |

I just meant to say it's probably more the cold weather affecting both Minis and my VW. |
