^^^^^???????????? a chain, could you elaborate???
-
^^^the high pressure pump is not even hooked up, how would you clean the fuel tank, what would you use????
-
I just spoke with my friend-machanic, he said the fuel pump is running approx 3 psi. He is pretty sure there is sludge in the bottom of the gas tank and this is our problem. Will seafoam help this?? Once the car is running it is fine but when you shut it off and try to restart it that is when the rapping starts. The gas tank in the car is old and did sit for awhile (approx. 4 years).
-
^^^^^it's obvious but I'm wondering if the fuel mixing with the oil is causing the sludge?
-
^^^^^^^^I am 95% sure this is what is happening to us, but I will print this out for him and find out for sure tomorrow.

I'll have a better explanation for you tomorrow, I'll ask my friend-mechanic to explain it to me better. He has worked on Z cars for years and he is baffled to say the least but like I said I'll get a better explanation tomorrow. I did hear the nasty rapping out of the first 2 motors (sat for years) but the 3rd motor (ran fine, drove home 2.5 hrs.) I was not present. Could the SU's be mixing fuel with the oil and doing damage? Thanks in advance for your help guys.

I purchased a 78 280 2+2 from a guy in NJ, I drove it 2.5 hours home and it ran fine but it had major rust issues. I also have a 280 (SAT FOR YEARS) that has a half decent body with little rust, I removed just the engine and trans from the 2+2, nothing else. I have a set of SU carbs that I purchased from a member online here I removed all the emissions crap from the motor and put the SU's on, the car ran fine for 15-20 minutes we shut it off for 30 minutes to clean up. We went to start it and a nasty rapping sound is now apparent. There is black tar like #$@% all over the valves and one is sticking now. This will be the 3rd motor that this has happened to, different valves sticking but still the same problem with all 3. HELP!!!!!!!!!! lol.

OK guys I have had it waaaaayyyyyyy past my eyeballs on these cars. My problem is we keep having valve issues, we are on our 3rd motor and we have had the same problem with all of them, the Valve's keep sticking. The only thing we can think of is the gas tank still has some OLD fuel in it and the newer fuel (ethanol) is loosening up the junk in the tank and sending it through the system thus making the valves stick. Any other ideas of what may be causing this????????
Thank you in advance,
Jason

Wow sounds like you got one hell of a deal, I would have taken the bike in a heartbeat too that Ram's value decreases alot faster than that bike. Have fun and be careful man.

Great work man I love it...............

Need some help or suggestions guys, there is a reddish spacer on the carbs and at the bottom of the spacer there are 2 holes, now my problem is I ran the coolant hoses and there is coolant flowing from the holes in the spacer. Can the spacer be removed or is there any other suggestions.
-
We got done installing the carbs this weekend and they seem to work fine, thanks alot for the help guys.

Hey guys I have a 74 260 and just got a set of SU carbs. I will be hopefully finishing this swap tomorrow but I was wondering if anyone had any pictures of their car after the swap, I'm a little stumped with the fuel rail, suggestions greatly appreciated but pics would be the best, I kind of have to see things to understand them.
Thanks

^^Please please send some pics to jyoutz@yahoo.com.

Id let you take them off my hands.
I like them because I got them for $80, but it just doesnt go with the rest of the car.Where did you find a deal like that, I am heading to the junk yard tomorrow to try and find some wheels, would someone be so kind to let me know what other vintage cars have the same lug pattern as my 74 260 2+2? I really appreciate your help.
