Hey guys, my 63 mini has a 1990 rover engine with a HIF 1 3/4 carby. Over the past year or so it's been getting a bit on the smelly side. Both at idle, and hard acceleration and I sometimes notice it during smooth cruising. Is there a simple way to adjust this down or do I need to get technical and check exhaust mixture levels and that sort of thing

If by fumey, you mean in the cabin, then I would first check all my breathers, any PCV valves and gaskets before blaming mixture, but if you mean exhaust then check mixture, leak down and compression

The smell is mainly outside the car but it does find its way in occasionally, but I don't have a good boot seal either. |
