Collection And Repairs

Our 1985 Mini Mayfair Berkeley was collected from our storage facility to the workshop.

Once here, Jonn investigated a fuel leak from the carburettor area. After a run-up, Jonn found that the float bowl gasket had split and was leaking. He removed the fuel pipes and replaced them with an E10 carburant fuel hose. After replacing the float bowl gasket.

As it was still leaking, Jonn stripped and removed the float bowl lid and checked the needle valve and debris was found inside.

After blowing this out and testing it, it was fine.

Jonn noted that the exhaust was blowing still, so he raised the car up on the ramp and removed the complete exhaust. He separated the system and cleaned the flanges and joints.

He bent the front pipe to achieve the correct alignment before mounting the front pipe and sealing it with an instant gasket. He then secured the front pipe and mounted the remaining exhaust. Finally, he positioned and tightend all clamps and mounts. Run and test. All ok now.
