Rolling road.
Formerly,Trevor Shaw's(Daventry). I booked in to RR,
& on the day found out, through someone else, that Trevor had
sadly passed away.I went ahead as scheduled,& had to wait 45
minute's before anything was looked at.
I spent this 45 minute's looking at this bloke,looking at me,who said another bloke would arrive one day...
Another bloke arrived,who seemed to know the Jaguar s.u, He began the usual twiddle,with some nice sound's along the way,
ummm,ah! etc. I think he was in a rush to get off to Luton.
He said,we dont have the right needle,so I said what do you
propose? He replied,that I'd have to book in again.
On leaving the premise's with the 2" carb's balanced,he suggested carb damper oil was low & put too much in to the
damper pot's.
On the way home,the car ran for about 5 minute's then
it sucked the oil into the manifold,& thereafter in dense traffic,I
was Swearing,& road rage almost took over the 70 quid I was
charged for my endurance!. None of my Z's had driven so badly.
I pulled over at this layby & took carb pot's off cleaning oil,etc
& somehow got home. I politely cancelled further appointment's
with RR & rang ' Burlen fuel system's direct who sent me the
appropriate needle's & lord & behold after my own slight tweaking
the car now fly's & carb problem's are no more.
According to RR My Z , without headwork,& triple's has every
potential of being very quick.
280zx N42 engine,janspeed manifold,280 gearbox,3.9 Diff
2" Jag carb's,K&N filter's,elec dist.
Just waiting on a gearbox to accentuate other bit's & then perhap's somehead work................................DJZ 60.

Just as a matter of interest, what needles did you end up with? SM's by any chance?

Hi.Nigel.I must add..... The car ran better when you kindly set it up
at the service's!.
I spoke to a chap,at Burlen who had a couple of recent
dealing's with 2'' jag carb's on Z's & he said that according to their information ' BAR' were the right needle's,but the customer's
found these to be too lean.
These same,customer's tried some more 'sample's eventually
settling for 'BDL' needle's.
I ordered the above, & the car run's smoothly,& the response
is nice.
The original needle's in my carb's were lean on initial stepdown
& very lean on topend.
I spoke to Mr.F,as regarding needle's & he is to try these on
some of his customer's & if they too are happy,then Mr.F will be
keeping these in stock.....................Regard's ...DJZ 60.

Well Hello,
'Z Club' Netter's, Technical Wizmo's,anti-spammer's &
Zederonian lover's. I have deliberately laid off posting on the
Z Club Forum, due to a conflicting view on the type of Forum
input. There's some wonderful input,by new member's & the
site is full of the usual 'TECH TIPS' ,along with the Z related
material.
I'd like to welcome all that are new to the Z Club &
would like to emphasise the benifit's of actually joining the Z
Club. Joining the Club,mean's that you get a better circulation
of part's supplier's,along with a quarterly Z Club Magazine
which is full of article's & information.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the great
character's & personalitie's that the Z club has allowed me to
get to know since joining the club.
These people know who they are & I love them all...........
