Hello - I live in Hawaii, and I think the original carb my 1985 Nissan 720 2WD has finally had it. Runs fine while cold, then once warm idles rough and stalls out once the gas is pressed. I've rebuilt carb, had shop look at and test for vac leaks, and now I am going to de-emission it as a last chance to save it.

At the end of my wits though. Does anyone have a used/new weber carb that fits my truck you want to sell?

Thanks in advance, and I look forward to being on the road again soon.

Car is back up and running with the original Hitachi carb. I took it to shop who found an electrical problem. As I said, the car would idle fine in park or neutral. However, as soon as it was put in drive and warm, when the gas was pressed it was stalled. Now I don't know how or why this fixed the problem, but he bypassed the neutral safety switch and everything is running fine now! The truck will start in any gear, but I don't really consider that a problem.

What do people think about that? Has anyone run into a similar problem and solution?
