Checking correct fuel level at Round Top 3 screw SU CARBS Float bowls

 If you're using ATF, use 20wt. If you're using 20wt. use 30wt. The brand doesn't matter. Be sure to tell us of any changes.

Im using atf at the moment. I need faster pickup at fist gear from launch after releasing the clutch!

I read stories on advancing the timing. Im already at 14 degrees

Do you know if your vacuum advance is working? If not, I would suggest that you check timing at 2500 rpm (total advance). Timing at idle is not all that important, since you spend very little time time behind the wheel at idle. For the best performance, you should set timing at 34-36 degrees with a largely stock motor. If you get detonation dial it back a few degrees. If you're feeling particularly adventurous you can begin experimenting with different needle profiles. In my motor, which is modified, I get the best performance with SB needles, though they are too rich for everyday driving. FYI, I've switched from using ATF damper fluid to 20 wt fork oil, which you can find online or at your local motorcycle shop.

Just a quick update for anyone interested in my Float-Sync tools. I've sold roughly 20 sets since early April and when the stock I have is gone, I'll likely not be producing more. You can find them on e-bay or you can order from me directly at datsun.floatsync@gmail.com, and save yourself $5.00.
