Hi everybody.
Paul here. Proud owner of my first mini. Im a bit young and dumb so go easy on me. So lets get into it. I am not a pro but i know how to use a spanner and a screwdriver and how to follow instruction. So what was the first problem with my pink mini? Overheating obviously. So heres the plan before i spend any money on 3 core radiators and electric fans.
Flush radiator and get new caps. Check mixture and make sure im not running too lean which ive heard causes heating issues. And last i will check that the timing is not too retarded which ive heard also causes an engine to run hot. Oh and dont forget to check the oil level in the dashpot.
If there is anything else anybody could think of please all info is so greatly appreciated.
Happy mini days
Paul
oh its a 1275e
Aaah i forgot to mention i removed the thermostat and put in a blanking sleeve/tube
