Posted November 4, 20177 yr comment_534140 I need some help. I have fiddled with cars for the past 5 years but it has mostly been on newer models, like jeeps and broncos. mostly suspension and body work. i recently bought a 260z. it runs and drives fine but it smells really rich driving down the road. it doesn't bog down or loose power at any rpm. i never really messed with carbs before. i Have a haynes manual and i tried fiddling with the air fuel mixture screws but it didn't really do much. I like to think if i tuned it right i can get some more power out of it. also i wont be choking on fumes. Side note i bought it in colorado and brought it back to new mexico. should i re-jet it? if so it didn't tell me how. Any other sources i can look into for Carb adjustments. (also i do know about the exhaust leak) Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/58888-hitachi-hmb-46w-carb-tuning/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
November 4, 20177 yr comment_534152  Are the carbs the original flat top Hitachi SU's that came on the 74's or have they been changed to the earlier round tops?

November 5, 20177 yr comment_534167 Mark...... HMB IS the flattop...  HMB46W is the flattop. HJG46W is the roundtop.. I hear over and over those flattops are boatanchors , get yourself a set from ztherapy. (Roundtops are much easyer to adjust..) i wonder is there no service set for those boatanchors haha??
