I should think it will run, but will at least be very thirsty, and not very smooth. Why not find out the standard jets for the carb on a 1.6-try e-mailing a weber distributor, and fit them. You won't get the maximum power/economy that you would from a rolling road session, but it should be reasonably cheap.

If you don't re-jet the car it will run excessively rich for your engine. This will mean that you are wasting money on petrol and the performance will be attrocious.
