So glad to see such detailed info as you're working through this. I'd recommend moving the fuel filter before the pump, and also not using a plastic filter in the engine bay. I've done that and had the filter soften and detach while headed down the freeway at 65MPH...Fun times!

Thanks @JPMergens for the comment. My thinking was that as I bungle my way through the renovation work if and when things go wrong if I have covered in enough details I can backtrack and see where things went wrong!

Good news, Hard to kill an A series but I can't wait to see this tried with a Tesla sat 20 years in the future!

Yes given the dire state of the mini after sitting so long it’s a wonder it started again. Today’s cars with their tech will never last as long as period classics. As soon as they stop software updates they will be useless.🤷♂️

WAY too much oil put in that dash pot on the carb , oil pressure , you should have cranked it longer . would have made sense when the head was off , to check crank bearings and big end shells . also check piston ring gap . i would have fitted a new oil pump as they dont cost much if i had stripped it that far . I suspect you are a hobbyist mechanic by your odd tool board behind you . but at least it running in a fashion .
