    Getting Gwen the Mini to Run.

    Something wrong with the sparks I'd say, not strong enough You could wind the fuel richer a turn see if that helps though Could be a bad air leak on induction after carb If timing within 5 degrees of what it needs it'll still run without popping and banging so I'm thinking something that...

    Dont pay much attention to getting timing as per charts/figures in a book.
