The last car I had painted was at the shop for 13 months. They said up front that they were going to do insurance work first, but I never thought it was going to take that long. I stopped in one day to see the progress and it was sitting there completed. It was worth the wait, it came out flawless. Quality takes time....

I don't have a choke cable on my 240 with three webers. I was looking for some information on what cable to use and the best way to hook it up. Got it started for the first time the other day, the carbs were a bit gummed up, pulled out the main and secondary jets, they were green. Don't think the accelerator pump circuts are working so I'll have to pull those apart and see what's going on with them. One more question on the fuel system - the gas line flows through all the carbs and out the third one back to the tank I think. Does it have to flow like this or can it end on the last carb? Looking at setups on some websites that sell them it looks like they don't have a two way connection on the last carb.

We just got a '73 240 on friday. First 240, have a few 300's along with some other rides so we are getting to know this one. I've always wanted one, and this one should be a good project. It's had a lot of work done to it in the past 4 or so years, hasn't been on the road in those years. It has the three weber carb setup, a mallory distributer and electronic ignition, header, new shocks, u-joints a five speed transmission ( from ??) and a bunch of other stuff. Needs some body work, paint is pealing off, but overall, in pretty good shape. Anyway, we tried to start it, checked the plugs, getting spark, cleaned out the fuel system, opened the tops of the carbs to check/clean, put in fresh gas and....nothing. Sounds like it wants to start, but doesn't. The fuel pump keeps running, doesn't shut off. Shouldn't it shut off when it pressurizes the fuel system? The carbs all are getting gas, the accelerator pumps on the carbs seem to work, tried some started fluid, but nothing. I'm pretty good w/webers, have a 45 dcoe on a '67 mgb, so it think these are good enough to get it started. Any basic things to look for? Is there a link for a shop manual? All I've found so far are ones for 280's. Thanks
