you guys refer to several part suppliers , i know msa as motorsport auto but who is twa ,thanks Jeff

well i am still leaking , put in a new condensor and cleaned the terminals on all that i could find and the clips , Chino on your car you have both overflow hoses from the carbs joined together and from where do they go? I am gonna have a friend of my dads who is an electrical engineer come over and check out my stuff before i spend more , he fixed my bro 260 in like 2 minutes , when you know what you are doing you sure look good

I checked the floats and its ok , but i took out a spark plug and held it the firewall and turned over the motor and didn't get any spark , just put plugs cables cap rotor and points in , could a condesor stop it from running?

the car is not running presently I am getting no fire yet i just checked the ignition and i sprayed starting fluid up in the carbs and all it did was run out , it sounded like a car that was out of fuel , it has sat for 2 years and not run and the fuel running out of the carbs was a sign to check them first

Ok i checked the piston for lack of a better term in the carbs and raised them and they lowered by themselves but when you use the accelerator using petal or manually on the manifold the carbs stick and do not return , big issue or not with reguard to the carbs

the air horns fit inside the k&n filter with no probs? , awsome looking setup , by the way did you have ztherapy do your intake as well?

when checking the floats just unscrew the four top screws and thats it ? should i remove the gas line first and if the float is stuck i assume its at the bottom?

Thanks I have been hiting the rum so it wil make sense tonight but maybe not tomarrow morning thanks

Am i postponing a rebuild here? should i just take them off and rebuild them fully or is this pretty common ? The car has sat for like 2 years , got the car to turn over but won't fire yet

My 72 240 had su carbs , on the top of the carbs there are two hoses coming out one is from the fuel rail and the other goes to the factory aircleaner . When I try and start the car fuel pours from the rear carb where the hose goes into the aircleaner ,I have tried to insert a pic . not sure if it worked. These are the only to fuel style lines from the top of the carbs . And only the one closest to the fire wall is doing this . As a bit of info the car hasn't been ran in about two years , I just replaced all of the ingition and starter < thanks to all who helped with that issue> and does have the smog pump hooked up <which I want to remove with all that crap > Please any helps thanks Jeff

hey I wanted to say thanks to all , i found my guilty part which was the starter, now it turns over and i am now in a quest to get the carbs rebuilt any suggestions? my brother suggested ztherapy , any good or bad about them?

excellent ideas , i will try them all and let you know how my mystery prob goes , hopefully just a bad starter thank you

Hey all any help would be greatly appreciated. I have a 72 240 and I just recently got it and it had sat for quite awhile like 2 years . I put a new battery in it and went to try to start it and it just makes clicking noises from the passenger side firewall. The relay switch i figured out. I tried to jump the car just in case there was any bad battery connections but it just clicks then as well. It does not click from the engine bay and all the lights and interior stuff work so i know its getting power. Any suggestions? And also does the 72 have alot more wiring in thengine bay than a 71 ?? Thanks Jeff
