ninjabortion Posted February 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 put a used weber 32/36 on it and it looks great, but i can't get it to run for shit. the only jets i can see until i pull the top off are are the air jets 165/160, main jets are 140/135, idle jets are 50/45, and the accelerator pump jet says 50. the venturies popped out when i flipped it over and said 3.5 no both. the thing looks great though compared to the stocker, so i made progress in the looks department at least :P my parts carb has 170/indecipherable cause its so rusty air jets, 140/145 main jets, and indecipherable but too large to fit/50 idles. i can get it to warm up with the choke on, but once i let the choke out i can't get it to idle at all really no matter where i put the mixture/idle speed screw at, just brap brap brap trying to die unless i rev it up a little. it did seem to almost want to idle if i had the sucker out like 4 turns, so i guess maybe my idle jets are too small? about bed time for me thanks to night shift, will see if maybe the vac advance is going crazy compared to stock and i need to back that off maybe? can't think of much else, i've blasted out about every orifice i could with carb cleaner while it was running and couldn't find any vac leaks anywhere but who knows. edit: got it running like a dang top, idles great at about 750 right now without much fiddling. i'm pretty sure there was a leak under the adapter plate, but i managed to get everything sealed up well and no amount of ether sprayed around the base of the thing makes it run differently. at WOT the thing sounds like a goose honking or something, i love it.

ninjabortion Posted June 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Bump from the dead to say i'm selling this thing. It was fun while it lasted, just trying to get this thing a new home instead of sitting in my driveway... Quote Link to comment

ninjabortion Posted June 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 I took some pics of the rust specifically this weekend, here is the album. This weekend i will be cleaning it out as it has sat for the last year or so in the driveway and has turned into rhino ramp and misc storage, will toss the battery on a charger and get a start up video as well. At this price it should sell quick locally, but i'd rather give you guys a crack at it first :P http://imgur.com/a/9Yio0 Was a fun car while it lasted and i've still got a 521 i'm playing with, so i'm not totally out of the datsun game. Got a few misc engines/transmissions and part i'll be sorting through and getting rid of too in the near future. Ran when pulled L18 and truck 5 speed that ran when pulled, L16 and dogbox 5 speed from a 510 race car with a short ram intake with mikunis, and a sd22 and 5 speed as well. Honestly all just been sitting around in my warehouse, untouched. I think i'll go ka24 in the 521, so all the older datsun engine and trans stuff can go. Quote Link to comment
