My 1.1 24000 mile metro had had it's carb messed with before I got the car and it was running lean. I figure that my carb hasn't has time to wear yet so I've tried an experiment. I turned the mixture screw right in and then counted the turns out - 7.75 turns. I then turned it half way in just over 3.5 turns. The car runs much better and pulls like a train - sounds better too. I'll leave it like this for a bit and then have a look at the plugs. For an unmodified 1.1 it performs quite well.

it might be worth putting it on the emissions tester as it might be over the limits come MOT time.
