The carbs need work. I levelled the floats (all over the place) but I need to install vibration dampening mounts with Thackeray washers.
I strongly advise you NOT to bother with the vibration dampening mounts and Thackeray washers. Complete waste of time on a Nissan L6 engine. It just doesn't need them.
As you clearly have a Harada intake manifold, the supplied and fitted phenolic spacers and gaskets are all you need. They carry the gaskets, and act as insulation against heat transfer. 'Solid' mounting the carbs is absolutely fine on these engines, and any talk of carbs 'frothing' is from the four cylinder world with completely different engine harmonics.
You'll hear lots of people telling you you need them, but please trust me - you don't.
