L28 resurrection tips?
Posted: Sun Apr 26, 2020 1:25 pm
Howdy all, I hope isolation is treating you well.
My project 260z came with an L28 (P90/F54) carb motor, not installed, which supposedly ran before removal.
I've had repairs done in the engine bay and would like to get the motor in and running if possible - just to get the car moving around by itself.
I plan to replace a bunch of service parts before I fire it up, but not sure where to draw the line. This is my first carb motor and first time resurrecting a motor...
The motor is essentially in unknown condition. It's in storage back home so I can't tinker on it easily.
Other than basic serviceable parts, checking compression, etc.. am I being too optimistic? What else can I do before firing it up?
I'm not looking to do a rebuild at this time unless she turns out to be a dud.
Cheers
