Cool, mind you bypassing the vac advance is against epa laws unfortunately, but it works. Yeah auto choke works fine, fuel pours into the carby well ( I think excessively though) and both bottom butterfly's work well with a tight response. The carby kit is still definitely in the "should do"...
Dont have a compression tester anymore, the ex must have decided to start home mechanics when she took it....along with all my other tools. That was 4 years ago and I've got a bit purchased, but still going. My old man was a mechanic for 30 odd years and I spent alot of time on cars with him...
Thanks mate. The original rocker cover had a huge hole in it when I purchased the car..... the bloke had used an old brake pad to cover it and wacked the snorkel over it to keep it down. I had some left over "ford light blue" paint from when I did some painting on my Ef and the wrecker...
Alright, checked the carby again for the mixture screw and the only screw I can see around the area shown in the pictures linked to http://community.ratsun.net/topic/16746-idle-problem/ is a screw running off a guide. Its not recessed, I cannot find any recesses in that area and I have been told...
I told the Mrs that because the Navara is going to be off the road for maybe a while I will now install a Lexus LS400 4L quad cam lol. Id be dead in a week

I was looking into that anyway as the carby I think could do with a rebuild. If I go a webber, how do I comply with Epa requirements i.e egr, pcv etc? They have webbers for sale on Ebay for around $500 to $600 ready to go, but with an adapter plate I should be able to get a webber cheaply.
Funny...
Sorry its been a while since I checked. Im still waiting for my build thread to be approved by admin, so started searching other sites as its been months sice I posted it and still its not approved ( or disapproved). Yeah my manual says the same thing, but I have spent plenty of time on carby's...
Hey people. I will do a intro and a build thread soon, just trying to get my 1986 Navara z24 auto running before I do. Purchased the Nav for $820 with 3 months rego, its rough but relatively easy to fix.
The bloke I purchased the car off was about as good of a mechanic as my 2 year old...
