so it looks like the datsun is staying with me for awhile :rofl: but she is having issues all a sudden. on my way home from dinner last night i was almost home and it stuttered a little bit but i was almost home so didn't worry about it and kind of forgot about it till this morning. i had gone about a mile and was just starting up a slight hill and it sputtered and died while i was cruising at 1/2 throttle 40-50mph (tach quit a while ago but maybe 3k). i was able to crank it again and while feathering the throttle it kinda kept going and got it parked safe. under full throttle it gets worse. since my fuel gauge is kinda flakey i guessed it was out of gas so after work (it sat all day) i got a gas can and put a few gallons of conoco 91 in it and she fired right up and drove the 2 miles to home but died again 1 block from home. since i don't have many tools at home i let it sit for awhile and tried to get it back to the shop. and she did the same thing again. i tried it with the choke all the way closed/open, air cleaner off nothing helped. i never call carb parts the right name but one the lower butterfly on the drivers side of the carb was completely dry while running while the other was slightly wet. i couldn't see in to good but i couldn't see any puddling or big leaks. the carb defiantly dosent look freshly rebuilt but i'm guessing from the rest of the work on this car that it was pretty solid or rebuilt when installed by bob. i haven't checked timing, or carb adjustments but it for sure seems like a fuel issue to me. almost like vapor lock but it has a electric fuel pump that i can hear running so i doubt thats it. hopefully tomorrow after work i can stay and mess with it and at least get the numbers off it and get a rebuild kit coming.
