It's Alive!!!

[LanceM]

Gotta tell somebody, the wife don't care

After sitting 14-15 years waiting, the Z fired up tonight!

Changed the oil, greased the cam and dumped a couple of quarts of oil over the gear train. Turned it over for a couple of minutes with no plugs (30 seconds on 2 minutes off) to get the oil up and around. Put in new plugs and pulled the trigger. She fired right up but wouldn't idle, found the problem to be clogged idle jets (tripple webbers), cleaned them up and now she runs just like when I put her away. Can't believe it, figured I'd have a month of fussing just to get her to start and run. If I had brakes I'd take her for a drive!

Love to hear her idle, nothing like the lope of that big arse cam of course the rotted out inlet to the muffler sure adds to the sound ) And to think I was thinking of getting her running and selling her off, NOT GONNA HAPPEN!!! I feel like a kid at Christmas!

Well thanks for listening!

I can relate I just got my 72 240z running and drinking gas from it's own tank. Tommorrow I free up the right rear brake and go for a spin. THis 240z went into the garage in

1983 it was last registered then. 1985 was the last time it ran.

cranked it over by hand last summer to free it up and tryed starting

it. I had to pull off the su carbs and go over them to get it running
