Double Trouble Twin Carb Innocenti carb teardown and rebuilding part 2

A twin HS2 carb Innocenti Mini as stopped by for a bit of tuning. This car was not running properly at all. Loads of issues with the ignition system as well as the carbs.

Total time spent getting this mini tuned: 8 Days. Yes, 8 working days!!

Most of the time was spent making repairs to the carbs and getting them to respond properly.

Check out the video to see what I had to do to get this car back to proper operation!

Thanks to ‪@ACDodd‬ for assisting with the piston damper drop testing and tuning assistance.
