Datsun240Z SU Carburetor Float-Sync Tool- LAST ONE!
Setting float levels in your Datsun 240Z SU carburetorsis critical to optimal engine performance. Power and fuel economy aresacrificed if float levels are set too high, too low, or differ in each bowl.Until now, there hasn’t been a tool allowing you to visually inspect both floatlevels at the same time, with the engine running. Float-Sync shows youprecisely where your floats are set to ensure your engine is running with peakpower and efficiency.
The level of fuel in the float bowl dictates the level offuel in the jet nozzle. This is a big deal for SU carburetors because the fuellevel in the jet nozzle directly impacts engine performance. When the engine isrunning, a vacuum is created in the SU carburetor venturi that pulls fuel outof the jet nozzle, mixing it with air and drawing it into the engine. If floatlevels are adjusted too high, fuel puddles at the top of the jet, allowing toomuch to be drawn into the engine, creating a rich condition. If the float isadjusted too low, it will be harder to pull fuel out of the jet, creating alean condition.
A rich condition can cause plug fouling, poor fueleconomy, gas fumes, diluted crankcase oil (contributing to blow by and reducedengine protection), and in extreme cases potential for an engine fire. A leancondition can cause the engine to stumble, back-fire, ping and run hotter thanit should, creating the potential to burn valves.
You will never wonder again how your floats are adjusted.Only Float-Syncallows you to see precisely where your floats are. You can see the fuel level,with the engine running, throughout the entire RPM range… all without openingthe float bowls.
