Opps...just saw that it's Weber's...forget my useless suggestion.

Floats out of alignment or float valves that are sticking. If nothing else, something to rule out.

If you're only missing fitment by the thickness of the spacer (~1/2") you could always shave 1/4" off the manifold flange and 1/4" off the spacer. What happens when the engine rocks though?

What is the reason for not wanting to sync the carbs yourself? Once the technique is understood it is a very simple procedure - even enjoyable. The DVD that Z-Therapy sells is an excellent self study course. I've been successfully tuning SU's since '84 and I still learned a lot from that DVD. Here are two things I know to be true; 1) most mechanics do not know how (or do not take the time) to properly sync twin CV side-draft carbs, and 2) no one will take the time to get them right except for the person that has to drive the car. With a review or two of the DVD and the hundreds of helpful hands here, you are assured success. Some other food for thought - I always see posts about problems with various electronic ignitions, but not so much on the tractor-tech breaker point ignition. They simply work well because they are...well...simple.

A picture is worth a thousand "holy crap that's a tight fit". If you relocate the fuel filter, you could remove the entire inner fender. This way a 1/2 inch here or there wont really matter.

The end of the world was awesome: My lacrosse team had a 4-0 victory My boys and I got some yard work done My band had a great gig (end of days party) I spent the day racking-up some quality miles in my 240Z I hope every day is as good as the last one.

Fuses protect the wires from high temperature (fire) due to over current. In the case of the S30's there is a fusable link for the main battery bus & starter circuit.

While I do enjoy a good turbo rush (my DD is 2.0T A4) I prefer the instant gratification of a normally aspirated motor.

In my opinion, anytime you make a change to the mixture, you should re-sync the carbs. A 1/4 turn on one carb does not necessarily translate into a 1/4 turn on the other.

Next time you experience this problem, give a pull on the choke lever. If the problem improves; you are too lean. If it gets worse, you're too rich.

Unless they are doing it for free, there is no reason to have to wait that long. Their "business" is to earn money. If your job isn't worth their time (that is the message they are sending you), go else where.

Toilet paper; it's not just asswipe anymore.

They look comfy.

If you get one, you get both I do learn so much from their debates.

Shouldn't we be asking "why is this plate warped"? It seems strange that it would be warped and it could point to another problem with the way the distributor has been mounted on his block.

Carl will be here soon to straighten that statement out. Although this time is can't be attributed to a US bias

I love baby pooh yellow.

zparts.com could probably get you one.

When I get reincarnated, I want to come back as Kirk...or Shatner...I can't tell the difference. There is obviously is a good story there. Kirk...er...Shatner is on set for Star Trek and someone brought that car by the set for some reason. Ah, to be Shatner...or Kirk.

I interpreted the email as E did. However, I think the OP does not fully grasp the relationship and workings of an internet forum. With that said, I hope he DOES ask questions and provide information. I'd like nothing more then to help an old-timer out. Lets go Franceso, get in the game. Ask a question...we want to help.

I think what we have here is a failure to communicate.

Welcome. Good job saving the 260 from the scrapper. Photos man, we love photos.

This is an open forum, not customer service for Nissan USA. Ask questions and evaluate the information received. We do this for love, not glory.

The car looks great. You can continue to post

With that little bit of information, I would strongly suggest the Z Therapy DVD.
