kully 560 Posted November 6, 2019 Share #61 Posted November 6, 2019 hi mark , today I bought the blue label 3-in-one oil it is different from the red label one I was using . still had some stumble of line after I richen the back carb but it was better so I went ahead and changed the damping oil to the blue label 3-in-one which is 20wt. the motor idles better and most of the stumble is gone probably about 95% gone. it still could be a tad lean but I do not think by much. I like the fact that I have no fumes in the cabin at all and it idles great. I have to remember this is a carb car and not fuel injection. I will check the plugs again when the motor cools down and see where I am at . thanks again for the tip on the Nissan 20wt damping oil. kully 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siteunseen Posted November 6, 2019 Share #62 Posted November 6, 2019 That's what I use too. No problems with mine, they have a good response from a dead stop. Blue 3 in 1 from Lowes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siteunseen Posted November 6, 2019 Share #64 Posted November 6, 2019 It's in the tool section at my local Lowes. About $3 if i remember right. That small amount will outlast me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kully 560 Posted November 7, 2019 Share #65 Posted November 7, 2019 yes I saw it on the lowes web site. It looks like only made and sold in the 3oz cans but cheaper from where I bought it from. I know 1 can is plenty but I like to have a spare .it seems as I get older I like to have a little stock . it is good for my compressor motor also thanks siteunseen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nissan recommended 20 wt. I always used ATF with good results. I would also like faster response when i launch from 1st gear at stop lights. Car lacks some response when accelerating from stops.

Not that I recommend 80-90wt. but it would be fun to try 30wt and 40wt. to see if there's a noticeable difference. If you do try it be sure to let us know your impressions.

I'm not a big fan of rubber fuel lines in contact with the body. In the pic above it looks like the hose is too long. Cut it short enough to eliminate the body contact. Last time i removed that hose it was a complete disaster and spill of gas all over. Do i really need to cut it and tighten again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can use a rag or some paper towels to wick the oil out of the dampers with out having to disassemble the carbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
