Let it get up to temp. Mine will do that too if the choke is still on.

Then some nut kills a bunch of kids and was all over the internet but didn't get noticed. Information overload is what I think. How in the world can they read all of what we type?

There was some talk on here not long ago about dealer installed 8 tracks. You might find something here... https://www.google.com/search?source=hp&ei=vfWNWqelBYvwzgLw7bPwBQ&q=240z+8+track+radio+classiczcars.com&oq=240z+8+track+radio+classiczcars.com&gs_l=mobile-gws-hp.12...5435.26682.0.30295.29.29.0.2.2.0.780.11108.2-7j11j5j4j1.29.0....0...1.1.64.mobile-gws-hp..0.25.9797.3..0j41j0i131k1j0i22i30k1j0i22i10i30k1j33i160k1j33i21k1j33i22i29i30k1.724.mRMDGfBx4f0

Mr Purcell I don't know if you've seen this before but it's a pretty good write up, just an FYI. http://jarvas240z.blogspot.com/2013/01/electric-fuel-pump-installation.html

Let me add my $.02 on the blackened parts. The inside off my air filter is black around the bugle looking things that sit in front of the carbs. Don't know why but they've been like that all along. Could it be the pcv blow back? He's got one of those high quality California Datsun motors.

I was thinking my explaing wasn't too good, you know being from Alabama and all, but you nailed it! That's exactly what I did. I found a carpenter's pencil that was .55" wide but those Dremel sanding barrels worked great for you. Congratulations! EDIT: I'm taking credit for good old common sense, sorry. I got excited.

They are located in the Southern Hemisphere, I'm in the Northern Hemisphere. Everything is opposite. Toodle-oo mate. con·trar·y adjective ˈkäntrerē/ 1. opposite in nature, direction, or meaning.

Does it make sense that raising the float pin height on the front's ears to the same as the rear's would be the reason the front nozzle is lower at four turns down? Just curious, trying to learn/make sense of this on going problem. The funny thing to me is @240260280 was down there right when all this mess started.

Cool car. I'd be begging Dad to pass it down. The wheels look just like my Konig Rewinds?

Did someone say drugs?

So you haven't even opened up your carbs on your car? You should absolutely, 100% do what Mark has been saying this whole time. That man has patience!, God bless him. " Reassemble the carbs, start it up, shut it down, pull the suction chambers, pistons (not the float chamber tops) and see where the fuel level is in relation to the nozzle tops at 2 1/2 turns. Then you'll know IF the floats need to be readjusted or if you got it right the first time. Rest assured that you're experiencing the same frustration that everyone has had at one time or another setting floats. Keep up the good work." If you haven't bent the ztherapy floats that came with the carbs you should be very close already. The mechanic raised the pin holes by drilling the front carbs ears. That's why your front carb nozzle is down 4 turns and not the rear.

That's a good question I've been wondering myself. Mr Maras, once I get the domes off to look down the nozzle tubes at 2.5 turns down, if they're are high or low do I get them "right" by adjusting the knobs on bottom? Like if one's an 1/8th deep and not 1/16th should I lower the nozzle until I get to 1/16th? Is that my target, 1/16th on each nozzle obtained by adjusting the knobs? Inquiring minds want to know. Thank You!

Two hours? Took me two months! That was after driving it with low float bowls for a year. Never kept the motor fed properly. Now it does after three different methods. First was eyeballing the float roof to the lid's underside, got in the ballpark. Second was the clear tube matching the top of the conspicuous square on the side of the float chamber, got on base. Third and final was using a marked clear glass jar and a fuel pump, scored!

Never noticed that longer rear end like in your last picture. Very nice. You should get a lot of miles on that odometer.

Turn that assembly upside down and get in front of a mirror. Hold the float with your other hand. Blow into the fuel supply hose barb. When your breathe starts passing through look into the mirror and see where the float is. Bend the tab until the float' roof is parallel with the lid's roof. You will be close. Find something .55" thick and use it between the float and the lid while still using your breathe as fuel to get the float .055" lower than the lid. I can't be any clearer, that's as simple as I can get without puppets. You cannot set the float level upside down with the weight of the float against the pin. The newer style valves are very sensitive and will not resist the float's weight at all, period, done.

Seems a little braggadocious, like our Leader in Chief. 260 to envy absolutely ghetto bad mother f***er you are jealous

Decent price for "sewn molded" carpet for a 2+2 ZX. If I remember right the ZXs had cut pile like my '77 Z. 240s are looped carpet. Great looking car! https://zcarsource.com/sewn-molded-carpet-kits-280zx

My '77 has a newer switch. I've read were in the "good ole days" people had a massive amount of crap on their keychains. The weight of said crap wasn't copasetic with the switches so in turn they failed prematurely. Now I have 2 keys, one stays in the switch and the door key sits in the ashtray. Hopefully that's your problem? Good luck.

Do they have the rounder tip on the valve, that rides on the float's tang? I'd like to have some of those to complete a spare set of SUs I don't need.

And to check that put your fuel gauge on a hose and zip tie it to the driver's wiper arm. Go for a drive and watch it fall or hopefully stay the same.

maybe something will ring a bell here? http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/afm/index.html Some other stuff. thanks @240260280 http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/EFI&fuel.htm

Dumb question, you do have the ground wire secured right?

Yeah, you should get the red light under the radio and the buzzer 5 or 6 times with the key in ON position. Have those ever worked? There's an IGN fuse that could be blown, or the ignition switch could be bad. Do you have head lights, brake lights?
