So I've been trying to get a mini running and then this one cropped up for sale.
So I went and had a look at it and it needs a few things done to it as most minis do.
But was not too far from driving conditions.
So when I went to have a look at it, it would start but then would suddenly die. It sounded like the motor was being flooded.
There was also fuel spraying out the float bowl of the carb.
There is also a bit of a snag list but I'll sort it out while it's on the road.

Arriving at its new home with some of it's fellow companions:

Then done some work on it and took some reasonable photos:

The lack of a dashboard:

Had a look at the carb and what was going on there. Seems fuel is spraying out the breather hole. Don't think the float system is working correctly.

Dashpot on this carb was also loose, so took the carb off and it will go through a good clean.
Swopped it with another carb I have and this was the result:

Took the car around the block, very fun driving a mini. Not so sure about the 13" wheels especially after driving sooper early estate with 10" wheels and a comfy ride.
But we'll see how things progress.

Hello guys,
So I know this is a subjective topic but I was just curious to know what would the ultimate carb be for a 1275 a series?
I know of the following options:
SU HS4
SU HIF44
Weber.. no idea.
What's the pros and cons of each?
What is each ones ideal application?
