Hello,

I have a stock 71 240z. It has been sitting for the past 3 years. I installed the Pertronix Ignitor Kit and there 1.5 ohm flame thrower coil.It started right up and timing is good at 10 degrees. I still have hesitation at higher rpm and the back 3 spark plugs are full soaked. I have tried to set up these carbs, but im having issues. What would be the reason for the 3 fuel soaked plugs or do these carbs need a rebuild?

Thanks,
Chris

    I had a 71 240Z and did all my own tuneups. I had 2 manuals for the car and 1 showed how to set carburetors by ear, I know this sounds fishy but it works. Took the car to a Datsun dealer when I owned it in the 70's and they thought that I had a set of vacuum gauges.
    If I remember correctly you lift up one cab side so it will only run on the other carb and 3 cylinders, set that one then lift the slide on the one that you just set and set the other. I think that it was a Haynes service manual. These are available on line and are free if I am not mistaken. My wife printed an original Datsun service manual for my 1976 I am presently working on.
