I was wondering if there is a diagram of the fuel system for the 240. I have a haynes manual and it only shows the 260. Does the 240 also have an electric fuel pump near the tank? I just bought a 1971 240 and there seem to be a problem with fuel making it to the carbs. I checked the mechanical pump and it seems to be working. I manually tried to suck some fuel to the filter by sucking on the hose that goes from the filter into the pump but only a few drops of fuel made it into the filter. Is this normal or should I be able to fill the filter up if I manually try to fill it? I think I may have either a clogged line or something. I was just hoping to find a diagram …

I know I have seen some discussions on the replacement of the vent hose to the fuel tank. I can't find them in the threads. There was a discussion of using standard vent hose and stainless tubing for the curves. Any advie for replacement hoses or originals would be appreciated/ Al

I have two sets of SU carbs, one 3 screw, one four screw. The three screws are what I have on the engine currently and they run just great. I polished and rebuilt the 4 screws to put on and just tried to tune them. However the idle adj screw is screwed in all the way and the car is still running extremely rich (the sparkplugs are black). The only idea I have is that I have the wrong needles in the carbs. The rebuild kit I got is made by Beck Arnley World Parts (from a good auto store, not kragen) and it came with two sets of needles. The only differences I see on them is that two are marked with HWJ1 and the other two HWJ2. I've read many posts on how to tune these…

Hello, I bought a '72 240 a couple of weeks ago (I also have a '90 300zx) and I've been reading up on everything I can get my hands on. Anyways I noticed the other night that it stumbles a bit on acceleration under 2k rpm's (but not through the rest of the power band) and I could tell it was running very rich. I pulled the plugs today and saw that cyl. 1-2-3 plugs were very fouled with carbon while cyl. 4-5-6 plugs looked very clean. I've read a lot of threads about tuning the SU carbs and I was wondering if I needed to completely tune both carbs or can I just adjust the front carb to keep it from running too rich. Any help is appreciated.

Hello all, just got my 300ZX lsd R200. I know I need to swap a few things from my stock R200, but was wondering, before I dive into it, how easy is it to change the input flanges from the "cv" type to the "u-joint" type? Is there a clip that holds them in, or do they just pop out??? I have heard the swapping the flange that bolts to your drive shaft yoke is a little more difficult. Is this something that needs to be done at a shop?

On my 73 240 when you go to start the car the starter won't stop even if you shut the key off! I thought it was a bad solinoid and put in a new one and it does the same thing! The only way to stop it is to pull the battery cable, luckly I guess the engine doesn't seem to be firing either??? If you reconnect the battery then everything is fine until you try to start it again. This started all of a sudden and I'm sort of stumped as to what the cause is... I don't see that there is a relay in line but maybe I'm missing something in the wiring diagram. Any and all help on this stumper would be apreciated!
