It would run, I doubt it would run very well though, probably not enough to go off road in it.
Re-jet it first to save taking it off again to do it once you realise its pants

It wont run that badly unless the needle is wayyyy wayyy wrong. The 1.6 and 1.3 engines have quite a similar needle profile. You shouldn't really need to put a new jet in it.
If it was running on a 1.6 it should be dead easy to get it running on your 1.3.
I say stick it on, then stick the needle in later. It's only like 4 screws to change the needle afterwards

BFM needle is correct for the 1.6 engine
When I got mine I ran it for a while on something like an AUZ or an AAZ...
Just the one that came with it lol
