endofzworld Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 240z l24 w/ tipple webbers when I bought the car the owner had told me it had only been tuned to idle. it would run fine until you gave it gas and it would surge and start spitting out of the carbs. I had a guy come out and look at it and we mussed around with the carbs giving it more fuel but still had the same problem. I pulled the plugs and the were BLACK so that was not the answer. then we moved to the distributor and he messed with that for a bit and now the car wont run at all. If I have the distributer cap on it wont ignite but when I have it off it sounds like it wants to start but just wont and is still spitting out of the carbs. he says I need a new distributor but I want another opinion and am wondering if he just messed something up and I can do something to correct it. I am not an expert so im trying to learn. any advice or help will be appreciated . if anyone is in my area I would love for someone to come out and help and maybe teach me a thing or two. also I will pay if someone comes out thanks!

98blackbell Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 So did the car ever drive? Previous owner only tuned for idle? Carbs have idle circuit and main. If your plugs are fouled, you are to rich. Especially with the symptoms you stated. What brand carbs do you have? Remove and replace the plugs NGK BPE6ES. Check contact points of rotor to the cap. If any signs of fouled you can sand them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
endofzworld Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 Yes the car drove but never over maybe 15 mph because when I gave it gas it would surge. The carbs are webber 151 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
