launchin1st Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 i am in need of a guy(or girl) who knows how to tune side draft carbs. i hate carbs. i have never been able to get them setup just right. i think its because i cant stand nascar. anyway. i have several 240z's that need carb work. i have rebuilt one set completly, set it up just right. it will run great one day, then the next it runs to rich, fouls plugs, misses, etc. FUCK. damnit i hate carbs. so, if you have any experience with side draft carbs, please pm me. thanks tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rally Pat Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 I have a Haynes manual on how to tune Weber side drafts if you want to borrow it. My dad had it for his 510 I think. I also have a book called "How to Hot Rod your Datsun". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
launchin1st Posted June 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 i dont need any books. i know how they work, why, etc.(and i have all the books for them. i have never been able to tune carbs. some people can, some cant. these carbs are the dual hitachi su's from a 70 240z. the front float bowl will start dumping fuel out of the overflow or it just runs like shit. there is no logical reason why they dont want to work right, its just me and hatered of carbs. but thanks for the offer on the books.

ImUrOBGYN Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 Wish I could help you. I haven't worked on side drafts since my 510 and my TR7 back in the early to mid 90's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

launchin1st Posted June 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 i have checked for leaks, loose shit, misssing shit, hell, i even checked for gremlins. it really must be me. in high school i had 2 cars with carbs. both ran like shit no matter what. swap in a nice efi set up, runs like new. see i think its the hillybilly technology. sice i dont have a pick up truck or watch nascar, the carbs must pick up on that and decided to fuck with me. computer are soooo much easier to work with. there is another solution. i do have full coverage on the car for like 6500 bucks or so. sooooo, someone steal it. it will drive, so you could make it to a safe hiding place before i call the cops.
