    I tried, it was a no-go. Even let it soak in a thing of carb cleaner for about 20 minutes and nothing. Ill try shooting some wd40 down there tonight when I get home.

    There is a little thumb screw under the carb body where the fuel feeds in, I noticed on the first car that whole fuel needle thing can move down, but it doesnt on the second 4 bolt carb.

    I have a 71 240z I just picked up, I was going through the carbs and I noticed that the front is a 3 bolt and the rear is a 4 bolt. I also noticed that the choke on the back one doesnt pull down. Is having the different carbs going to affect anything on the way the car runs?

    Yeah Eddie's shop is about 5 miles from me, going to try to get it running myself though before I drop it off somewhere though. The back carb was gummed shut so Im thinking that was part of its not wanting to start reason....

    This past weekend I picked up this: Here she is all loaded up and ready to goto her new home. Sitting at my friends shop. Car had not been started in 10 years. With in 20min of having it we had it running somewhat. Pretty glorious if you ask me. Going to have the carbs rebuilt. Its a 71 series 1, has either 160k or 60k on it. Factory A/C car, all original and everything works on it!! Im really excited and amped to do this car, the rust on it isnt bad at all with the worst being a dime size hole in the passenger front floor board. The car was a GA car its whole life, I even have the original 40yr old keys and original title!!! It should be a fun, albeit expensive project. Edit: Got it into my garage last night, the rear carb is just gummed shut, probably why it wasnt pleased about running. Getting it situated today. Found a forsale flyer though for the car that really put it into perspective for me, the car has 69,000 original miles and is all original. Im not sure what to do at this point.
