Runs best at 12deg, everywhere else was rather flat on power.
I have also found another z20s that i can access to see what that is running.
I'll post any results once i have worked it all out.

Re: Z20 timing
And by the way, at 5deg it didn't seem to run as well. So I'll work my way to 12. & see what sounds and feels optimal

Re: Z20 timing
OK thanks. Looks like I'll just have to test it between 5- 12 deg.
I've disconnected the egr, & will run 95' so i presume it'll run best around the 8.
Any actual answer appreciated, as I'm confused over the us chassie one.
But still helpful thanks

Re: Z20 timing
Out of a 1987 nissan navara. 4 spark plug.
I'm picking it's non us model as they didn't have navara. I'm sure the 720 pickup is different but i could be wrong.

Z20 timing
Hi.
I have just rebuilt a 1987 z20 & would like to know what the exact timing should be.
In Google i find everything from 5deg to 12deg
Does anyone have a Haynes manual for correct info.

Re: NA20 Carb issues?
So the issue was:
1. Slightly high float level,
2. Choke wasn't fully coming off
3. Hot gas inlet from exhaust was staying active
So disconnected 2&3
Fixed the float lvl

Re: NA20 Carb issues?
But yes blue did adjust idle speed depending on the mixture.
I actually altered the stop screw first. Now that's a pig at even with air filter and housing off

Re: NA20 Carb issues?
No blue goes into the housing just in front of the throttle leaver, located at rear of the carb.
Stop screw sits on a white plastic (kind of hour glass shaped) piece, which is controlled by the auto choke located at the front.
Does that make sense?

Could someone tell what the blue and green circled screws do exactly.
They are on the drivers side of the carb.

Re: NA20 Carb issues?
Thanks,I found a stuffed spark plug earlier, running a lot better now, no sputtering etc. It does blow abit of white smoke Would the spark plug cause excess fuel consumption? Or do I need to look further??? I will post a pic here once I work out how, carbs have too many screws and adjustments for me ...

Re: 2014 Navara St
Thanks I've been looking around.
Price may be pushing it. But working on getting them down more.
Also seen a 2014 Colorado. Very nice slightly used, but it's auto. I want manual and that's just a personal preference.

Re: Advice wanted. v6 commy into 87 navara
Nice try. But radiator cap is new. New t/stat, new waterpump and fan, new hoses, clean radiator twice, acid washed block, checked timing. Bottom hose collapses under revs when overheating. Only other thing i havent tried is taking exhaust off to check if its partly blocked.
