  1. I believe it's the one on the right because it has that shield thing and the O2 sensor (I won't be near the truck for the next couple days) and I THINK the electrical connector has 5 wires...
  2. Also, mine's defintiely NOT TBI, so I would need to know how to adjust the carb, where to start and such. If you can help with that, it would be greatly appreciated! :) You guys are the best!
  3. OK! replaced the fuel filter that is outside of the pump (supposedly there are two though..? not sure about that, if anyone knows do tell!) It started right up, of course. But then the pump would only prime occassionally, and then stop working. So we've narrowed it down to the fact that it must be the pump, since it was acting so oddly. So looks like someone is ordering more stuff from rock auto!
  4. Actually, I think I saw your thread on NICO and saw something about ratsun, so I came here and voila! Your entire build thread made me realize how much work these little guys are, but definitely gave me some ideas for fixing mine up. So, thanks for that!! Going to replace the fuel filter today, everyone cross your fingers that it works! And funny how everyone seems to get theirs for $600...
  5. I forgot to add that I replaced the fuel pump relay as well. So, If not the fuel filter, maybe something is wrong with wiring? It sputters like it is running out of gas, yes actually. Will all of this ^ neat stuff still work if the truck is an auto?
  6. Hope that caught your attention. Hi, name's rachel. I picked this up a couple months ago: It's an 86 Nissan 720 (the title says Datsun, and stuff) obviously. 121k miles on it, got it for $600 from a guy who didn't have it long enough to even switch the title into his name, because he gave up on it. He bought it from the original owner, btw. I also have a two tone 89 Nissan 240sx, but who cares about that! Onto fun truck things... I have replaced: plugs wires dizzy cap alternator belt ENTIRE carburetor. (the original had too many broken pieces, and was just a mess) The guy I bought it from said he had the battery and the alternator replaced (Both seem new, so i suppose he isn't lying) I still need to replace the fuel filter, and change the oil, and small things like that. But the immediate problem (which is why I am incredibly excited to have found this forum, I hope) is that it will drive for a little bit, then randomly die, then start back up after a few minutes, drive a little bit, then die again, and then repeat the process. Number one thing that i think is causing this 'starvation for fuel' (as some have suggested) is probably the fuel filter. But if this doesn't fix the problem, I don't want to go through the process of throwing more and more parts at it (like a fuel pump). So, my question is, what other suggestions can anyone give me? And hello!
