Carbs Screws AAHHGG
I have got the back carb rebuilt and all went very well , i am holding off the other til my brother shows up with his extra set of su's , i used a electric tooth brush best 4 bucks i think i ever spent, and old white teeshirts , took it slow and easy , gotta say they are quite simple, thought they were complex and extremely hard , waiting for my ztherapy intake to go much farther, I appreciate all the help you guy all have given during my carb issues especially Chino , thanks hope to post pics soon I will of my new carbs and manifold when all is done

Carbs Screws AAHHGG
Good news all 3 screws to both carbs came off , relatively easily , I sprayed them for a 3rd day all day then had my fiance hold them dowm with a towel as I used my weight to hold the screw driver on the screws , I got my rebuild kits from bv , I am waiting for my su video from ztherapy , I guess i should order the fuel lines as well , i was reading that any others seem to Melt? , I appreciate the help and suggestions , :classic: , any big don't when cleaning these carbs?

Carbs Screws AAHHGG
I don't think the treats are stripped at all , just the screw it self , am gonna try the vise grips , I tried some linesman plyers but could get a good grip . if i get it all disassembled I am rebuilding them using a rebuild kit from bv and the video from ztherapy , the fuel line they provided in the rebuild kit is it ok to use or should I get the one from ztherapy , and its the fuel line from the bottom of the float to the adjustment ring <for lack of a better term>?

Carbs Screws AAHHGG
I am trying to remove the 3 screws on the top of my round top su"s . On the back carb I have 2 of the 3 out and the 3rd is on its way to being stripped , I have sprayed the for two days with wd-40 and It seemed to have helped. Any suggestions on getting them out with out a drill, and does anyone know where to get replacement screws. The car had never been taken apart in its 31 year life so its a touch sticky with the nuts and bolts . Thanks Jeff:geek:

I left my key in the on position too long....
hey crazy ideal here , if you have spark and getting fuel ie pump working and injectors are full , check your air flow meter and make sure the cross hairs aren't damaged

Leaking SU carbs
ok just got back from the keys should have been working on the z but you gotta do what you gotta do , i took off the retaining pin from the float valve , the valve was stuck i got it instuck and the top portion little nipple looking thing with the spring came out , cleaned it up and reassembled , not leaking fuel from the line anymore , a bit now from the gasket that i have destroyed , any feedback on the rebuild kits from BV , I have heard little about them , but all has been positive, didn't know it the Ztherapy was wortht the 125 more , car still turns like it wants to start but fuel starved, gonna it hit tomarrow with a few more edumacated people , got fire so I assume its carbs and from the condition of the valve which i assume closes when the float raises it might all be needed attention before it will fire or run . love to hear more input especially with the rebuild kits

Leaking SU carbs
Ok I have good news finally, me and my bro got the linkage free they return completely without assitance , and we got the car to fire with the choke on DUH , I know no need to say it , but it was still pouring gas out like Zoolander gas station sceen so we stopped til we fix the leaking prob or get a overflow tank, the front carb float level was like 1/4 to 1/3 full of gas where the one that is leaking is almost completele full when we took the covers off again , when you squeeze the line going from the bottom on the float tank the gas goes up and down so at that point it isn't clogged , by the way put a coil in as well , not sure if it was the prob but my bro had a spare , any thoughts?

Leaking SU carbs
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

Leaking SU carbs
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?

Leaking SU carbs
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

Leaking SU carbs
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?

Leaking SU carbs
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?
