Carbie problem ??

I remember when my mums old Datsun Sunny was playing up and the mechanic in a small country town could not find the problem, it would idle but not rev.

I got up the next morning and went to have a go at it myself, as soon as I took the main drain bolt from the bottom of the float bowl I saw a tiny piece of clear plastic blocking the main jet.

I fired up the car and she ran perfectly, the car would sometimes run well then suddenly run like crud and it was because that bit of plastic would float around and then get sucked into the main jet block it and it would run horribly again.

It felt good finding the problem that was driving mum nuts for a while.

where would a second fuel filter be located ? the main 1 is new and i have checked that it is not blocked

So far My patrol has been running fine , have not been able to duplicate the problem again , still going though and checking and servicing any part that may have cause the issue.

i think i have found the problem, the air intake is from the inside of the front guard, i am lead to believe that their should be a plastic cover there, as it is missing , dirt , water and mud most likely got sucked into my air box, unable to find 1 at the local wreckers i made my own, so far i have traveled 700km , 200km of which is dirt and did 25 creek crossings. no more problems, will have to get me a snorkle soon though.

Ha, nice aussie ingenuity:-) love it

Tap, crackle, pop

Yeah X 2 Nice work, most of the inner plastic guard panels are very brittle, don't know what Mr Nissan was thinking.
Bit of black spray and the jobs finished, but as stated a snorkel would solve any problems, I'll check where fuel filters are
for you.

I gave it a coat of black paint just after I took the pic, its not noticeable at all, i have one of those Tigerz11 ‏ $70snorkels in the mail now, should do the trick

Don't hold your breathe waiting for your snorkel,
Left a post on you on another thread, one with diffs dragging etc

ok wont hold it , but have been sent an email from them that it is in the post and with a tracking number from the delivery company
