Fuel regulator question
Turbo Mini Forums

Ive got a few bits left on my mini before i take it to be set up properly, I believe my mini is running rich as it have black smoke coming from it when reved.

is this down to the fuel reg? how to you set how much fuel it needs thanks

thanks

You need a fuel gauge there only about a £10 on eBay, then set fuel pressure to 4 psi. Adjust main jet in carb so that it's flush with the top of carb then 2 1/2 turns down that's the base setting

It's unlikely the FPR is the problem, but fuel pressure should be checked so you know it is correct anyway.

9.85 @ 145mph
202mph standing mile
speed didn't kill me, but taxation probably will

cheers any recommendations on what one to buy as there bare loads on the bay

I bought a pressure gauge what should i be running?

I aim for 4-5 psi on no boost

'Where does the engine go?'

im running standard boost 4psi? The gauge is showing on tick over, still showing black smoke

Fuel pressure will have no effect on the car at tickover, unless:

1) It's too high and all you do is flood the engine and the car stops.
2) it's too low and it can't open the needle valve - result, the car stops.

As it's a HIF I bet the choke seals are buggered. No point taking it to the RR if you've not checked and changed them.

Finally, have you tried leaning the mixture? and where is the jet currently sitting?

ok thanks for the advise ill take a look.
cheers

would i have to buy a full rebulid kit?

i bought a genuine SU kit and just went over the whole carb do cheek out the passage ways thouauly it apiars i missed the bowl vent to plenum ones and have had to use the well known "T piece trick"

no expert but i think the jet should be just below flush with the bridge take the dash pot off to check that just 3 screws

as wil h said check the choke out but if its gone bad imo might as well do the whole lot ie a full kit at least youll have a good change of no problems

which kit do i buy any links

Have you checked and set the idle mixture?

Turbo-phill has the full rebuold kits. Be careful of the ebay 'service' kits. These don't have all the parts.

In the 13's at last!.. Just

which screw is this?
