Would not have picked that. Runs well one day and bad the next.

perhaps was only affecting when oil was getting warmer? When through bit by bit and that was the only thing that had any effect. Ran it for a good half an hour and no issue (so has definately fixed it :-). All I can say is minis have their own quirks!

I'd do one thing at a time till the fault is rectified. If you do a heap of stuff before rechecking, you won't know what the issue was. You can chase stuff all day and still not get there.

Electrical connections.
Fuel and fuel filter.
Carby needle tight in place.
Light oil in dashpot.
Sticking dashpot.
Plug leads and plugs.
Points. Correct dwell. Connections.
Condenser.
Coil. Are the connections tight and the right way around.
Dist cap cracked.


No 4 on the list. I win !
Did you do one at a time as suggested till you found the issue ?
Still don't count your chickens for a few days yet though.

Definately solved, would have replicated by now as I have started probably 50 times this arvo to make sure :-) Would have happened every second time before :-)
