Hi All, is there anyone in the Toowoomba area who would have the time to help get my wee Mini Cooper running.
Been sitting a few months and has developed a fuel drip between the carbs and the bulkhead but neither
my eyes or my hands are what they were. Engine turns over fine but won't fire up so need help to get it out
into the sunshine again.
Thanks and a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all the Mini enthusiasts out there.

Stop, starting it with a known fuel leak...

Fix the fuel leak before anything else...

if it is not a fuel line or rubber fuel line then check under the fuel bowls by putting a cup or similar under to see if the main jet/float bowls are leaking :idea:

Best advice 9yaTaH. It is great to hear sensible hints sometimes.
