Those that have been following some of my treads know i have been having problems with getting my newly rebuilt motor started ad running. Well after 2 or 3 weeks of not doining anything but removing the starter and double checking the timing which it was out of. I put the new starter on it today. Little oil in the carb time to check the compression. Holy **** its reading normal. Check the rear hell yea. Clean the plugs smack those bad boys back in and bang bang couple of backfires and it has life. still wont idle but will start. Thinking about rebuilding the mikini and try that. Also I still got put the exhuast from my 80 on this 1. Will only stay running if i keep pressing the the gas at a nice pace. I wish i knew how to post video i would but o well. Thanks for all your help every one once i get the idle and exhuast taken care of i ll see how it does.

 

Great news Nick, those plugs are probably fouled mate, and you might try fine tuning the timing.

 

It's possible that the timing is off. When you put the dist in did you make sure that the e-shaft
keyway was facing towards the exhaust manifold and that the one of the pulley bolts was at 12 O'clock?

 

Your title is misleading. I thought you got laid...

 

lLOL.

 

With the timing my engine builder mainly does 2nd and 3rd gen when he put the pulley back on the hub he put it back on wrong. I checked the timing using the flywheel. Plugs are band new along with the other 2 sets i have been using to try and get this thing started. There was a minor set back. LOL much like JONJON when he was working on getting his car started with the mikuni I also had a small fire. It ok I got an extra engine harness I will be putting on then i do the exthust. I need to get the harness down to just the must haves but I ll wory about that after i get it running and driving.

 

O and as for geetting laid that will be this weekend when my GF comes home from school.

 

Congratulations, and it's about time, lol.

 

What? About Nick getting Laid! Sorry had to jump in on that one.

 

Yea well like I said my Girl is off at school and i havent ever cheated on any of my girlfriends. But is only been a couple of months.

 

Actually I was refeering to Trochoids post thinking he was talking about you getting the car running. I just had to take the opportunity to jump in and have some fun.

 

Nick,
You have to excuse them old meng. They are under the influence of viagra.

 

This thread was good at the beginning with you getting her fired up, as I knew first hand that feeling!

But with these older guys adding thier pervert comments it just makes it the greatest thread EVER lol jk guys

 

Now hold on a min there Wackey.. does that mean YOU are under the influence of viagra???? sence you drove this right off topic???
SMILE...


Congrats nick on both...

 

Thaks guys. What would be keeping the carb from ideling right? I am gonna work on swaping the exhust this weekend if its nice. Also what has to be hooked up for the car to run right? My engine harness is complety off and it started kinda weirded me out i was tring to trun it on to listen to the radio while working outside. Anyone ever rebuild a mikuni or is there a tread on this? I ll keep everyone posted.

 

Poor Nicky! lol.....CONGRATS!

 

Well I don't know about the rest of the 'old guys', but I was refering to the car. Apparently my post was delayed and the other ones snuck in there before mine.

Mikunis are simple to tear down and clean. There really isn't much to rebuilding them other than changing a few gaskets. The AP is the most work. Be gentle with the mix screws, turn them down too hard and you can snap off the tips of the needles.

 

^ That's why I couldn't resist because your thread came out right after Nick posted. lol.

 

I know I stepped into that one. It's been so long since I got laid the last time, I've forgotten what it is.

 

What do you think should I rebuild the carb myself 70 shipped for everthing I would need or should i send it to wolf creek they want $200 to do the rebuild. I have never done a carb rebuild but it seams easy enough.

 

Rebuild kit is 25, if you want to spend money and send it out, I'll do it for 100 plus return shipping. Any parts not included in the kit will be extra and I will swap out your pilot jets for 52.5/57.5s. The 60s are a bit big for a stock port. I have a spare kit on hand too.

 

I say do it yourself, and if you mess it up. Then send it to the people.

Thats how I learned, I tried to rebuild the ol 2 barrel Holley carb off my pinto. 20 bucks for the kit at Autozone. It all went well, then I dropped it and bent the throttle shaft. DUH!! Then it cost me a 100 for a rebuilt one by the shop down the road.

Just get a nice work table, clean bench area, card table, etc etc,
lay down some paper (not newspaper its too busy) Get white butchershop paper, I went to the meat counter at the local supermarket and got it for free!! That way you can see all the parts laid out, and watch for those pesky ***** if the roll off, and you can write and label it too!!

Thats what I do now, and it works all the time. That was was tought to me by a very old man. Worked for him, works for me, and will work for you!

 

And if you have a digital camera, take pics for reference as far as how linkages go and so forth.

 

^^^

+1

I cant count the number of times I had to take pics and videos of my carb linkages for my buddy josh when he did his.

Good job forgot about that one!

 

PM ed you.
