Pacific coast Datsun Posted December 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 Ok heres a status report on the 32/36. If the truck sits unstarted for more than 4-5 days it takes 5-6 turns of the key to get her to fire up.& even then i have to feather the pedal to keep her running & its a good 5 minutes before she'll idle. I have 12v going to the choke but i dont think its doing its job & may need an adjustment. & im getting a backfire through the carb upon warming up [timing issue] ?. Carb has a new accel pump but was bought used years ago & prob needs a rebuild. I will say though once shes warmed up it runs great :geek: Quote Link to comment
Farmer Joe Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 i know its december, but i cant imagine that its getting that cold in AZ? ive preferred not to use the weber choke, and i loosen it and adjust it so its always open and just deal with a little coldbloodedness. maybe it doesnt need the choke. if its running better after a few minutes, its prolly the choke opening and letting it run right again.

Pacific coast Datsun Posted December 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 Thanks Niel..maybe ill adjust it & see if that makes a difference. Out here you really dont need a choke anyways. Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted January 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Ok after inspection i saw that the choke was pretty much wide open so i adjusted it so the butterflies are open about 1/4 inch. It stars easier & warms up a bit quicker but im still getting the random carb backfire @ 40-45. I retightened the carb base bolts & the intake bolts thinking i may have a vaccum leak.

Pacific coast Datsun Posted January 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Ok i took a few new pics today for an update on the never ending 620 project... Installed a new Viar compressor {thanks Datskaos} with new brackets too & ran power to a swith under the dash. It gets the air tank to where i need it in under 1.30... swapped on steering wheel #4...got this for $10 @ the yard... & the bare metal Rat a former Ratsun member made me... & this shot shows the bed extension pretty good & my manual E brake [rock]...

Charlie69 Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Enjoyed the visit Mark. It was great spending some time with you , Tony, & Steroid. See you all in a couple weeks. Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted January 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Thanks Charlie you guys are welcome anytime even when its 122 LoL. Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 122 isn't bad its the 128 that hurts! Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted January 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 Ive been driving the 620 to work all week [46 mile round trip] & since adjusting the choke she starts alot easier & doesnt take as long to get "warmed up". I think sometime down the road I'd like to put a NEW Weber 32/36 on it & or have the current carb rebuilt. Heres a pic from last years BBQ... 1 Quote Link to comment
Steroid Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 We will have to get Mr. Big Tanker to come out here when it is 128 ! ! ! Or even 122 for that matter ! ! ! Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted January 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 During "our" summers my ass is in the river as much as possible :w00t: I did a few small things to the 620 today...one was a must seeing as my stock cig lighter is non functional & the other was for fun. I took a single gauge mount, welded a cover over it ten cut out for the cig. lighter. Now i can charge my cell phone if need be... next thing is a different way to mount my SWDP plate & maybe the plaque. I borrowed the idea from Steroid :poke: i coutersunk some 3/8 round stock into the bed rail & welded them in place... then took a 720 rear plate mount & welded solid stock to the backside... i may mount a Datsun dealer plate frame to it next...& btw im leaving the plate mount bare metal & ill clear it once some rust develops..

wayno Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Still debating on roadster look on my 521 What roadster look would that be? Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted February 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 What roadster look would that be? We were discussing making Genes roof removable like mine. I can do it & have the skills & its up to him but ill say this...the main reason i cut my top off was is had a old school sunroof in it w/ no latch & many many dings. I used a roof off a different 620 for the one that bolts off & on. Quote Link to comment

It just don't work, the lines need to go with each other, not in different directions. Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted February 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 Wayno i agree it doesnt look good. Im onto my next project..a way to store tools in the bed & have it cost almost nothing :-) Quote Link to comment
