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.

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

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.
