If your rpms are high and you take foot off gas to coast, the pistons are sucking hardest but the throttle plate is closed. This causes a huge vacuum in the manifold that sucks fuel from the idle enrichment circuit. If your idle is set to rich then too much fuel will be drawn through and it will build up in the exhaust and ignite making the popping sound.

Looking forward to seeing you car Jim! I hope to bring a 72 for judging in Ontario next year so any advice or pointers are welcome in Memphis... I'll be there cheering you on!

Hi Gav, I'm now in Sydney at a Holiday in near the airport. It is 12noon. I depart in 22hrs. Sunny and 22C

Yes, I'll be out by the airport. Just hitting the hay now for a 3AM rise. I'll check this thread again when in Sydney.

I wish I was. I just have a long overnight stop in Sydney.

Don't do any thing until John Coffey replies to this thread

I have a stop-over on Tuesday night in Sydney. If any Z friends are free and want to meet for coffee, supper, drinks, etc please pm or email me. philip@atlanticz.ca

N is a sideways Z

Jet nozzle size (diameter of the drilled hole) is a tuning parameter. You can buy nozzles with different sizes. The fat SMmay work better in a larger nozzle than in a 0.100" standard nozzle .

hmmm......filter king eh? I tried a filter queen but its sucked.

I have a line on a 240z that I hope to see before I leave. Would you like photos of the interiors of engines of those cars? It is close to where I am working,

I'm not sure if these are of interest to anyone looking for parts. I have the owners contact details.

What media is in your tumbler(s)?

Dang I missed it. If anyone has a Mr K visor please pm me .

500mi is a ballpark number often used.

Yes. It is nice here. The people are very friendly. I'll be here until ~ June 8th. I hope to see a 240z this weekend

Glad to help. I am now in Fiji.... one day I will be back in Panama!

Be sure to balance air after each adjustment using unisyn or flow gauge. The engine should be able to run on 3 cylinders when fuel and air is balanced. Repeat the test at 3000rpm then balance air then adjust fuel so that the rpms drop the same amount when you finger a carb.

You can have different turns on the jets due to mechanical differences, wear and user error. Getting all plugs to the same colour is a good goal. Also lifting the piston in the back carb with your finger and idling on the front 3 cylinders then doing the same and running on the rear 3 cylinders is a good balance check. We call it the equally shitty test.

The idle adjustment is really just a practice run at the procedure as well as getting your idle speed set and fuel in the ball park. The only things you can adjust on our carbs are: 1. Airflow at idle (butterfly stops) 2. Airflow balance at idle (butterfly stop difference between front and back) 3. Airflow balance off-idle (screw in connecting linkage) 4. Fuel flow at idle and off idle (jet height) 5. Fuel flow balance at idle and off idle (jet height difference between front and back) 6. Fuel flow transitions (damper oil) 7. Needle height vs rpm (spring pressure and weight of piston) 8. Fuel flow vs. needle height (needle taper)

Couldn't resist John! Just a few hundred meters north of the hotel.
