I got my carb all cleaned and put back together. I need to set the float properly. It's filling the bowl to much. Would this also cause the secondary throat to fill up with petrol even though the butterfly's are not open? I don't quite understand these particular carbs. Previous owner put an electric choke carb on it, looks like a A14 or A15 unit, does not have the electric solenoid for the fuel shut off tho. All help is appreciated!

here is instruction from tech wiki http://datsun1200.com/modules/mediawi ... le=Float_Level_Adjustment

Thanks for the link,

Set the float according to the sight glass and found that my main jet on the primary barrel was partially plugged. Cleaned it out and voila runs like a top.

Here is a progress video.....P.S. forgot to tell you guys, It's an A12 but its not in a car, it running my homemade portable welder! lol

I used a 1930's B17 200 AMP/28volt Generator for the welding unit. They used to be sold by surplus stores here for building welders after WW2

she coughed because I still had a little bit of water in the fuel tank from when I did more welding on it. (Put a third mount as it was vibrating too much with just two mounts, so drained it and filled her plum full of water so I could weld her safley. Only drawback was not being able to get all of the water out.

Runs like a top now.
