midtown720

Is there anyway you can check timing without a timing gun?

Yea it does. I checked the fuse and its good. I did check the fuel bowl level too. Its right on the dot

I just bought a multimeter and I'm gonna check grounds to see if I can find any bad ones. Does anybody know right off where some are? I found one near the battery.

I'm starting to think that the z20s lacks enough power to pull the heavy 720 unless its running at peak performance.

Yea I looked up how to tune the carb with the screw and the glowing manifold went away and had increased power slightly

Damn bad ass, datzenmike. Bookmarket this thread

K. I remember taking a flat head screw driver and trying to clean them but now I have more info on the wiring and ill go back and do all this in the morning.

Yea the only light that doesn't work is the reverse lights. I saw one at a time go out at different times. Its weird and baffling me. I need to find a voltage meter. Do the auto parts rent them?

What's the ideal setup for swapping to electric fan setup? Do we need to change the water pump? What size fan or fans? Also how to wire it up with out having to run all the time?

No but I'm just assuming the new bulbs I put in are blown. They won't come on at all. I need to check them

When I first noticed the hot manifold I then looked up different videos on what it could be I cane across some info on it being lean. I then adjusted the carb for a richer mixture and the glow has went away. I dont open the throttle fully on the hills because I'm afraid it will flood out even it hasn't since I've had it. It seems it responses better to 3/4 throttle better. Full throttle seemes it kinda holds back in a way.

Ill check it in the morning. Ill post my findings. Thanks datzenmike.

Yea I was wondering if it would be out of trimming but the motor zooms over first crank every time. Ill have to check to rule that out.

I have a z20s nissan 720 base model. I tried to just replace the bulbs. I put the key in the on position and put the truck in reverse. I watched both lights on very dim then the passenger side went out first followed by the driver side. Its was one maybe 5 mins. Where are the grounds to lights? I checked all the fusses.

The previous owner told me that he tried to see if the motor needed a better ground and hooked up jumper cables from the negative battery terminal to the motor. He soon realized that he accidentally put the positive up against the motor and he said it bogged the motor down but since then the reverse lights won't come on. What do I need to do to try and troubleshoot the lights for them to work again? Ive replaced the bulbs and they work for all of 5 mins halfway lit up.
