Carb damping oil? Flow guide valve ?
I have been told that 20w castrol if best for the carbs or fork oil , If you are talking about the float lines from the carbs to the air cleaner , it won't affect how it runs it just dumps the extra fuel from the carbs <if any is there> to the air cleaner, if we are talking about the same line. and if you put too much in the carbs its ok if you raise the piston inside the carb it will get rid of the excess and just get burned in the engine <as I was told on ye olde ztherapy video > , good luck:geek:

Engine flush?
hello all. question here , should I use a motor flush , the car sat for roughly 1-2 years , it has oil in it now and the car is running but I haven't driven it yet , was gonna change the oil and didn't know it would doing more harm to use and engine flush to ge the sludge out , I am gonna replace the sending unit and clean the cam oiler bar after I flushed the engine, Also anyone heard of putting tranny fluid in the crankcase to loosen up that stuff? I honestly don't know if it is that dirty show 84k on the odo and the papers the previous owner had suggest this is true as well , thanks

yes you can use 1989 ish toyota 4 runner calipers and a i think its 83 turbo disks but you have to use a spacer plate , seen them on ebay and other sites usually runs 65-85 bucks a set for the spacers and then just get the other parts that you can get from a junk yard , good luck:geek:

All power goes dead on start
ok first does it make any noise at all when you attempt to start? if not you might want to check for an inline fuse , alot of datsuns have them and when one goes its like you don't have a battery in the car, check the manual or a service book < chiltons> for it, try that if you are not getting any noise good luck Jeff:geek:
