Nick now that you say that ... i remebered somthing
i had completely forgotten.. & that is that one of the pistons is lifting
slower than the other & seems to be spitting a tiny bit of fuel out of the
carb ... & i would say that it's running richer because i replaced one of
the float with a float out of an early model su carb ..& so the float levels
could be different too .... i amlooking at getting another float the same so
that they are the same thing & getting another one spare just in casei have
the float problem again.... the original float had collapsed ... so me & dad
blew it back out with the compressor & re soldered the hole on the top &
then it was leaking & also it was cracking around the sides .. anyway ....
dad said to replace the oil in the carbs so that they are definetly the
same grade oil .. then they are lifting at the same time .. sonow i presume
that there is a few issues that are involved with this running on problem .. but
the screw that i was talking about .. i dontthink it is the balance contrl ...
this screw is on that is on the actual manifols .. the balance controller is up
where the carbs are .. i will take a photo & send it in 5 mins!! thanx

Hey Matt,
I think that big screw that you are talking
about is for adjusting the volume of the balance pipe.
There should be
little lifting pins on the bottom of each carbrettor. With the engine idling
you lift the piston a bit. See what happens to the engine idle. It should
go up for a bit, then back to normal.
It sounds like you have one carb
running way too rich. Probably because the float level is too high or the
sliding assembly is dirty.
go to http://home.istar.ca/~datsun/att06.htm
for more information. Good Luck!

About 4 weeks ago i put my twin sidedraught hitachi's onto my 84 bluebird auto
wagon (goes way way better now) & after mucking around alot trying to get
everything running well it is now .. well it has been for a few weeks now ..
running on when i turn it off... now my dad who has been mucking around with
these things for yonks ... is going to have look at it this arvo .. but we
believe it has somthing to do with a valve that runs on a tube that goes
between the pipes on the manifold which has something to do with emission
control & my dad says he has never seen it before ... what it is?.. it is
a large screw with a spring on it.. & when wound down lowers the idle ...
& up takes the idle up obviously .. but i was wondering if anyone could
tell me if this has anything to do with the engine running on when i turn it
off & if so.. what has to be done to fix it .. & if not ... what could
it be ..hopefully dad can fix it.. but any help would be great .. also does
anyone have an! y idea on how much a set of rear springs would cost for a
bluebird wagon ... cos mine are buggered .. anyway ..any help would be great
.. & i'm sorry about the long email!!! > Thanx > Matt
