Sitting on the M50 tonight (First time in a good while I'v really left city roads) and the Mini seems to be finding it hard to do 80kph but once the choke is out she'll do 70mph not a bother.... Carb need tuning or is there more it?

Needs a tune-up run an engine with the choke on when its at normal running temp will wash the bores and ware them fast. Is sounds like its running weak ,you need to stick it on a CO meter and see .
