Re: Gas Tank cleaning

Thank you! Yeah, I am sure we would have enjoyed that. I did list this forum in my internet links I passed on.

Re: Gas Tank cleaning

Well, I ended up selling the 240Z! A former work friend of my son's saw the Facebook video of it getting fired up and revving and was very interested in it. He had always wanted a 240Z and this was a great opportunity. He's a nice guy and mature so he's not going to wrap it around a telephone pole. ...

Re: Gas Tank cleaning

Thanks Randy and Jeff. I found that Z Car Source in Deer Valley offers them and cheaper as well and no overseas shipping.

It's a '72 240Z.

Gas Tank cleaning

Is there a favorite place to have this done? Any to avoid?

There's nobody that does this up here in Prescott. A quick look and I found Sun West Transmissions and Radiators and Commercial Radiator Service.

Re: Intro from Prescott

I was pretty sure I had sync'd linkage but took a look anyway. The action externally looked okay and I pulled the suction pistons and double verified. While in there I noticed the front carb's nozzle was down a quarter inch. I was wondering if the old gummy fuel messed with those so pulled the choke...

Re: Intro from Prescott

Okay, got the carb rebuild kits a couple of days ago and finally had time and nice weather today. I prepped last evening by pulling the front float top out and got the new needle valve installed. The instructions to adjust that didn't make any sense as written so I made my best guess. I found crud i...

Re: Intro from Prescott

Many thanks! I just ordered two rebuild kits from Motorsport Auto in SoCal. I've used them for years. The description for the rebuild kits stated that there was a new valve in the kit. They had a separate listing for the valves but there were none in stock. We should know in a week or so. Yeah, dang...

Re: Intro from Prescott

Thanks, Randy, for the quick reply. I meant to post early today and just got going on other stuff. I did do some looking around and looked closer at some pictures of rebuild kits and I think I see new needle valves in there! Just gotta find stock somewhere, seems like as it is with a lot of other ma...
