seattlejester Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Glad you got her started! I think the manual has a section on addressing loss of power with things to check. I have the same setup as you L28e with SU carbs. When my car was stumbling the problems I found were a bad throttle linkage which was binding when I stepped on the throttle, insufficient fuel (my electric pump had a roll over safety that would cut in cutting fuel), timing I believe you are supposed to set it to the spec of the distributor you are using. Speaking of, which distributor are you using? Are you using the E12-80 ignition module? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miles Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Re: SU carbs Go to Z Therapy and buy the video "Just SUs". It will explain the function and maintenance of SU carbs. You should also buy a Haynes 240Z manual which is available at parts stores, Amazon and etc. http://www.ztherapy.com/ Buy "How to Restore Your Datsun Z Car" by Wick Humble". It has detailed information about Z cars that the FSM and Haynes manuals don't have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Green the Great Posted August 2, 2013 Author Share Posted August 2, 2013 Thanks for the info guys. I got a FSM finally and that the reason i was able to start it. Im not too sure which dizzy im using. Ill look it up and try to figure it out. Wick Humble book has been ordered, very excited to get it. Now its time to post my car. Thank you guys for all the info and I really appreciate the literature your sharing with me. This is by far the best z forum with the quickest and most informed replies!
