thanks komrad

Adrian just wanted to say thanks for all of the content you provide here on KZbin. As a recently new owner of an A+ 1275 Mini, your channel has been a real treasure trove of valuable information. I wanted to change my coil soon after getting the car, so contacted MiniSport to ask which one would be suitable for my car. They recommended a 3 Ohm 'Sports Coil' which I duly fitted, but since watching your videos religiously I've come to realise that I would be better off with a 0.8 Ohm Viper due to having a 65DM4 dizzy (and gapping my new BP6ES plugs to 35-thou!) The more I watch, the more I learn, and the more my Mini improves. Thank you! I'd love to book you one day in the future to work out some more tweaks to truly make my engine sing, so I'll keep an eye out for Midlands appointment availability...

I always understood a ballast resistor was to help cold start and a sports coil was the way to go, but a temperature sensitive ballast resistor is a performance enhancement, as the rpm increases, relatively the coil output does too! Great stuff

Just to add to your excellent information. MSD in the US do a coil with primary resistance of .7 OMS and a ballast resistor of .8 OMS as a high performance kit, for points cars. What’s your thoughts on that?

were is the best place to buy one in UK cheers all sites i can find are all US

good video , need one of these as a replacement for my accuspark which is terrible

Thank you for another great video. As an Innocenti 1001 mini owner I particularly enjoyed Innocenti 1300, a brilliant example of italian tweaked british engineering!

As for the owner with the Wideband installed - how often should you change the lambda sensor in a mini? I have mine in since approx 2 years now, and not 100% if its reading correctly

As the owner of the mini 850 in this video, I just want to say a big thank you to Adrian for an amazing job. She runs so much better now and I learnt alot along the way. I can’t recommend Adrian’s services enough, both for the tuning but also the ACDodd carburettor which was worth every penny.

Any recommendations on the Lamda sensor to install?

Haven't dry honed in years, need to get you a AXE hone cabinet. Makes it nice.

Nice! 👍

Wow will that offset amount effect the cut of piston ? Or has it been done on purpose

Keep the old skool tuning thriving ... it will die one day ... RIP

You'd be a great Teacher if you explained things more slowley and as if you weren't the smartest guy on the planet about SU Carbs and distributors 😄

do you sell ignition systems somewhere other than in person? haven't found anywhere.

Looking forward to your visit to south africa

First engine; How bad are those pot air filters restricting tuning?

Great video learning with every video

Your service would be a blessing in South Africa.

Brilliant, loved the little HL

Really enjoying this series

Oh no this is a British Channel

HI! what spark plugs do you recommend for a stock Rover mini cooper 1991 1275 carburetor?

Is there a way to check the dwell on an electronic dizzy without that meter? I’m running an electronic ignition with a 3ohm accuspark coil. But my low end power is rubbish. I quite often have the blip the throttle several times to bring the revs up before I pull away.

I didn’t realise you had your own channel. Subscribed.

this test rig 😍

Im wondering if those rings are doing there own cutting

Superb stuff!

It is assumed that we know what normal resistance should be. Which is futile anyway

Amazing AC.

You didn't say why you need a ballast resistor for that resistance

Why don't you say what the resistance should be

Did you work down through the grits in order, or was each cylinder lapped in with the single listed grit? Also do you have any data on how a "broken in" engine seals? Would the freshly machined surfaces eventually mate together through run time to approach the leak down from a lapped in valve?

What’s the model no

OMG - Just checked the gaps on a new set of plugs I was about to put in - 55/70 thou ! - in my mind they come out the box at 25 thou

I have an NGK distributor cap with the HT leads terminated with NGK resistor plug covers (LB05EZ) that contain a 5K ohm ceramic resistor. Are these plug covers robbing the ignition system of power as the R plugs do?

Good to see new cars appearing for rectification. Well done!

Nice one AC, interesting video.

I think rolling roads today don't understand how SUs work as most are now dealing with modern fuel injection

Great video, worked a treat for me. What would you use to seal/lock the new tube? Thanks 👍

Thanks for a awesome video. I didn't know that the dash pot oil would make so much difference. I have a moggy with a 1275 Marina engine in it. I swapped oil for thicker one and it's running so much better on acceleration.

Bloody awesome! Thank you for giving us all an insight into the proper tuning process.. I’m definitely guilty of using the mixture screw to make it drive well 😅

Very helpful, thanks 👍 Would you also use a non-resistor plug on a 123-ignition or will these ignition systems benefit from a r-type plug?

Great series, where can we get hold of a Lambda reading machine??

Great series, thanks for sharing your vast knowledge!

Another happy customer

hi AC, great video as usual. quick question though as its not mentioned, how are you/or are you making compensations for the AFR when the engine is under load ? under load on a dyno (or on the road of course) as im sure you know, the cylinder is going to produce much greater heat interested to know how you are calculating this and working it into the lambda you are seeing. thanks! p.s what are you using to read the lambda? cheers

This is my job this weekend! Thank you!!! I’m also having issues when I go to accelerate (particularly when cold) the revs drop right down and I have to blip the throttle to bring it up. Once it’s warm it tends to behave. Any ideas what it might be? It had the vac taken off a while ago when being set up too. It’s a 998 A+

Wow ive learnt more in 1 video than anyone has ever tried to teach me. Very text book and very informative. Thank you!!
