Hope that caught your attention.
Hi, name's rachel. I picked this up a couple months ago:
It's an 86 Nissan 720 (the title says Datsun, and stuff) obviously. 121k miles on it, got it for $600 from a guy who didn't have it long enough to even switch the title into his name, because he gave up on it. He bought it from the original owner, btw. I also have a two tone 89 Nissan 240sx, but who cares about that! Onto fun truck things...
I have replaced:
plugs
wires
dizzy cap
alternator belt
ENTIRE carburetor. (the original had too many broken pieces, and was just a mess)
The guy I bought it from said he had the battery and the alternator replaced (Both seem new, so i suppose he isn't lying)
I still need to replace the fuel filter, and change the oil, and small things like that.
But the immediate problem (which is why I am incredibly excited to have found this forum, I hope) is that it will drive for a little bit, then randomly die, then start back up after a few minutes, drive a little bit, then die again, and then repeat the process.
Number one thing that i think is causing this 'starvation for fuel' (as some have suggested) is probably the fuel filter. But if this doesn't fix the problem, I don't want to go through the process of throwing more and more parts at it (like a fuel pump).
So, my question is, what other suggestions can anyone give me?
And hello!
