260ruztmachine Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 When cold, my 260Z does not start unless the choke is used... Funny thing about the choke is... The car only turns on with the choke on the right carb (carb nearest to driver) If I use both chokes, it turns on, if I use the left choke alone it does not turn on if I use the right choke alone it does turn on. The left carb (nearest to radiator) sucks in less air than the right one. I'd say its a 35% -65% thing going on between the carbs. They're either not tunned properly or is my left carb bad? THey were re-built not more than a month ago. Choke cable does not work either, its stuck in place but I already researched how to fix that I might get some brake cables from my bike, CHEAPER. Is replacing the carb(s) my only option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burninator Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 You're post is a little confusing, but were they tuned after being re-built or just slapped on and the car ran? I'd say fix the choke cable(s) so they both work, then make sure your carbs are balanced and adjusted. It's normal that it won't want to start when cold without the choke. But, it's not surprising that it only needs one choke to start, three cylinders running poorly and three running well will usually do well enough to start.
