How do you adjust carb on 1100 mini?

Answer 1

Depending on year and carburetor model there are three or four things that are easy to fiddle with that change how it runs.

• Idle speed, adjusted on most beside where the throttle cable attaches.
• The damper. This is to keep the car from "Bogging" or cutting out when you accelerate. It is supposed to have oil in it, there is special oil but I used to use engine oil. Undo the black cap on the top of the carb and add oil, it will self level when the car runs.
• Idle mixture A screw going into the body of the carb that changes the mixture at idle, adjust until max rpm is achieved using a Tachometer. Then re-set idle speed.
• Finally the mixture needle height. This is an adjustment that could damage your engine, please consult a proper manual before attempting.
