well- I've done what i could in finding out why the car won't idle without the choke. I've pulled each of the Mikuni 44phh carbs out from the L28 and cleaned all the jets, but it still won't idle for some reason. I have fuel pressure, but i suspect it may be a fuel related issue as the car had been sitting for around a year. I did treat the fuel and added some new fuel along with some octane boost.

When the choke was engaged, i adjusted them so the car would idle just barely without shutting off. When I opened the throttle it sounded like it was chocking. So i figure it's time to take it in to a shop who know's what they are doing . I was hoping someone on here could point me in the right direction...a shop somewhere around LA county preferably.

Restoration in the US of the Datsun 240 Z Car by Pierre Perrot!

PierreZ is in Gardena on Crenshaw North of Manhattan Beach Blvd. Heard they got one of their Z's up to 160 mph at El Mirage back in the day.

You could give Top End Performance a call:

(Is this is a triple carb setup on an L28?)
