DC871F

It wouldnt accelerate smoothly, surge during driving at any speed. I reached down and adjusted mixture controls and all problems solved. Many years flying RC airplanes, they do exactly the same thing. The only thing I need to do is recheck the balance.

I just rebuilt my carbs, tuned and synced per the manual and it was very lean. Turned mixture knobs almost a full turn RICH and it runs perfect.

This is my 1/71 switch. Flash.

My 1971 series 1 car needed a head gasket (leaking because I think the head wasnt torqued correctly), and also reinstalled original carbs after overhauling and associated emissions equipment back to stock. Engine was rebuilt and has about 2000 miles on it from the original owner a while back. Head and block are straight. Car sat for about 18 years without being driven. Needed new brake lines and a brake booster. I had the brake booster overhauled at Power Brake Booster in Oregon, they did a great job. This is an original car with 48,000 miles documented. Only "restoration" work completed on the car was paint and body. All original interior. No leaks and runs great.

Third time it's been listed on eBay. Looks like a great car.

I did a search and didnt see these come up, thanks. I have to say it looks great though.

Not sure where or when I got this, but I found it in a stash of stuff I was going through that I've had for years. I know it's incorrect to think of him designing the car, but where would this come from? It's a grill badge, and really good quality.

I've been chasing raw fuel vapor coming from my car, with dropping the tank, replacing hoses, pressure tested vapor tank, I them moved this flow guide valve lines. I wonder if a bad or clogged check valve in the flow guide valve can be the source of vapor I smell in the garage?

I read in the FSM that the 240 has a sealed system, no bypass in the gas cap. Somewhere it reads do not install a vented gas cap.

The tube from the cleaner to the flow guide valve moves in what direction? Isn't under vacuum being inside the cleaner? FSM says it goes out of the cleaner to flow guide valve.

Replace the sender gasket while the tank was down, and the sender is still shiny with no corrosion. Looking at your pic of the seep at the sender makes me think I have some kind of seep somewhere lime that I'm chasing. I'm going to install the SUs and all the original stuff. PO put the webers on.

Been around Z's a while and know most usual suspects in gas fume and exhaust issues with these cars, but...... Series 1 car, I have dropped tank, replaced all vent lines with no kinks, pressure checked expansion tank on right side, checked for fuel leaks front to back. The issue is raw gas fumes present in garage when car sits overnight, and sometimes driving with certain combinations of window configurations (drivers window down and passenger window cracked). Checked filler tube seal, filler tube vent line to expansion tank, replace PCV valve, all lines to flow valve guide are good. No exhaust fumes at all, just raw gas. The car has after market Webers with the little rectangle air cleaners, this is the only thing I can think of that may be the issue because the stock air cleaner isn't on the car. Any thoughts?

How does the flow FROM the air cleaner go against the vacuum? I'm confused.

FSM says the routing from air cleaner to flow guide valve does just that FROM air cleaner. Routing is, FROM tank, FROM air cleaner, TO crank case. The cleaner is vacuum. So FROM can't mean routing in the FSM surely, or does it? But do arrows lie?

Series 1 on ebay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/394502712476?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=fFdwTZJLQH6&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=_AYqAzeGTJq&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

What's the one on the left go to? Disregard. If I could delete post I would.

Lol, that's awesome. Mystery solved.

I swear it says 23, but maybe it smudged during the print and it's supposed to be 73. So if it's 73, then each series 240z got their own speedo? 69-1/71 /20mph 71-72 /10 mph 73 /0 mph

Starts at zero. Is this not a 240z speedometer? Series 1 start at 20, and series 2-3 start at 10?

Makes sense of why the "P's" are there. Might be a good place for a fog light switch. Thanks.

What is the black square plug for next to the rear defroster switch on series 1 consoles?

Hmmmm

That's a hard hit. Strange angle. Famous 280zx loose booty?
