Which 1.1 is it ? ( engine code please )

Just start off by making sure the basics are SPOT on.

Points gap, plugs gap, valve clearences, timing and mixture.

Make sure the exhaust isn't leaking anywhere ( and that you only have ONE silencer ! ) Also, ensure that the rubber boot the carb mounts to is TOTALLY leak free ( a lot of people chase their tales on that one. )

You can always fit an 4 into 1 Ashley manifold, that'll release a few HP and some bigger jets in the carb won't be much either. :)

Following that, you can pull the head off for some smoothing work and grind the valves in properly. Lots of the little easy things add up to a useful increase.

A lot of people might recommend that you just stick a 1300 HK code lump or MH lump from a polo or a golf in, which I/we have also done…pics below…

PM me if you want any more help/details
