I had to unplug this wire as it waa causing a horrible noise that came from the blowe of the ac inside the car. Ballast resistor measured 2.1 ohms. Which wires you want me to remove from the coil? Yarb, Can you guide me on this?

February 2Feb 2 comment_673978 @72 Datsun 240z I would start your own thread, rather than adding to other existing threads. It will help people stay focused on your problem instead of getting distracted by the original topic. Also, since you've already asked your question in another thread it makes sense to respond to that thread. Except in this case where you should start your own new thread. Good luck.

February 2Feb 2 comment_673979 On 11/20/2022 at 5:39 PM, Mark Maras said: I have to ask, Why do you let it idle instead of turning it off? Trouble restarting when it's hot? It's obviously too rich. The most common problems, aside from float levels, are stiff nozzle hoses, misaligned nozzle choke linkage or misadjusted choke cables. All of these can prevent the nozzles from raising up all the way when the choke knob is pushed into the off position. How many turns down are the nozzles? Reach under the carbs when the car is running and push up on the choke nozzles. If they are hanging up it causes the exact problem you have. you’ll hear a little snap if they are indeed hanging up. If Ztherapy built the carbs, you can feel confident its not in the carbs.

February 2Feb 2 comment_673983 All three of these user names are the same person IMO... Not sure how that's accomplished but it's still the OP posting in his own thread Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/67984-still-struggling-with-car-at-idle-after-8-years/?&page=44#findComment-673983 Share on other sites More sharing options...
February 2Feb 2 comment_673986 That’s true @Patcon. An earlier thread He mentioned he was moving from Panama to Spain. Originally on this site for a very long time. Believe he changed the name due to some issues he was having under the original name from Panama with the California Datsun engine.

February 2Feb 2 comment_673987 I never knew he was moving to Spain. If he has his car in Spain now, it may be easier to find Z help than when he was in Panama.

I removed the coil sparkplug wire for clearer view and your input!
