So the motor seemed to have a fuel delivery issue so Derek and I made a list of todo's and made with the turning wrenches

Off with the carbs!


Broke em down and cleaned em




Ended up that the carbs were missing 4 gaskets.....

So we traced some out and put the carbs back on cleaned up and clean! They were pretty funky inside



With clean carbs we turned to the easy fix when it comes to fuel issues, the filter....


And this ladies and gentlemen is why you replace the $4 filter anytime you cant recite its purchase date from memory




Keeping in mind this is what It should be


After that we cleaned up and re-gaped the spark plugs cus they had been re-used from the L16 at my advice (in my defense they were new NGK's with less than 3k on them....) Maybe not a good suggestion in hindsight

Last but not least was another round of tuning and timing adjustments.


All said and done it was obviously more responsive and pulling hard until we stopped at Taco Bell for 4th meal at 2am and Derek's battery finally gave up the ghost...








Sooooooo........

Derek's crashing on the couch and we can figure it out when the stores open.

All for the love of everything datsun!!

[510freak]

Now thats some Datsun devotion

And this ladies and gentlemen is why you replace the $4 filter anytime you cant recite its purchase date from memory

...and when you replace your tank. I'm sure none of that came from me .

[Eagle_Adam]

I wasn't even gunna go there.... I think Derek's heard enough from me on that topic

Cus IMO things should be cleaned before installation

[dislexicdime]

that beast should be able to out pull my miata . we need to race!

[dislexicdime]

i will just leave this here http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/pts/4271576476.html

[H5WAGON]

At least you got those domes cleaned up now!

[Eagle_Adam]

Holy fuck!

What a day, details when I make it home unless Derek beats me to it but I have a funny feeling he is beating the shot out of that LZ right now.

Long story short that thing is better and better everyday and today it's 50% better than yesterday!

So the motor seemed to have a fuel delivery issue so Derek and I made a list of todo's and made with the turning wrenches

for the record cus ive been told twice now that i bent the needle in this pic

i didn't, it may LOOK like its sitting on the needle but its not just balance VERY close to it

also for the record i did bend a needle later but i did it while they were in the car by holding the choke up too far

[Eagle_Adam]

wow what a weekend!

So Derek and I woke up Sunday morning and set out to get a battery and tie down for him so we could get his car running again, got back with the battery and started up his car after a little timing tune then he was off to the gas station to fill up.

No new issues yet(or so i thought)

then we took a trip out to Klotz's place so Derek could beat on the motor at freeway speeds, it pulled good but smoked a lot a sputtered at times like there was still a fuel issue….



Got back home made more adjustments, then Dyslexic Dime offered some help in the tuning dept so we packed up some tools and a carb sync and headed to his place!


Which is where we found out there was a bent needle…….. And after a bit more investigation and thinking about what had changed/happened so far I came to the horrible conclusion the I must have bent the needle when I was messing with the choke earlier in the morning (still in the taco bell parking lot…)


So now im sitting there looking at a car that wont run cus I goofed, derek has school starting Monday, its Sunday at 4pm, Ztherapy is closed….


Where the fuck am I gunna find a set of 38mm SU needles….

FUCKING FUCKIN FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Then it dawns on me, JROCK HAS SOME!!!!


Lucky me he was nice enough to drive and go get them, put them in the back of his truck at the shop along with the powdercoated parts I needed to pick up anyway



Sooooooooooooo off to Olympia it was!



In the end Jrocks needles worked, Derek’s car is driving better than it EVER has and we were able to get home BEFORE 1 am!


I have only one pic from Sunday cus it was so chaotic

Installing new needles in the carbs at 11 pm in Dixlexic Dimes driveway buy the headlights of a mini van




If that ^^ doesn’t explain our day in one pic nothing will

[Eagle_Adam]

derek i demand more pics and an update yo!!!!




MEOW

[Draynor]

Ok, so after all the driving, replacing, fixing, and more driving,replacing, and fixing...The car runs so amazingly compared to before! Thanks again to anyone who has helped out on this swap!

As we left Mikey's house (Thanks again man!) I could instantly feel the difference in the pedal. No more hesitation! Got on the free way on the way home, and HOLY SHIT twice as fast as it was before, it felt so smooth and did not want to stop!!!!!!

I am really impressed by the power after fixing all these little issues! Going to do a few more things and it should be all good!

Some pics of the weekend.

On way back from Klotz's place, Look at the door!




Backseat partner on the way up to Jrocks




and one of Adams many powder coated parts we also picked up, while up there!




Oh also, a video i got the other day, Now that its running better I will get a better video...
