Should be no need for the secondary bracket on the manual throttle. Simply set the desired throttle position and turn the knob clockwise to lock it in place. Counterclockwise to release.

Thank you, That is the way the old Willys worked. I wondered why Nissan didn't have the same feature. I did notice that effect when field testing the one Eddy just installed on CCV5 but I thought it was just sticking.
Big thanks.

Greetings,

This Patrol will not run after warm. It runs progressively shorter and shorter from 10 mins running to running for a few seconds. It dies without sputtering.

Resource info:
New fuel line, tank, filter and pump
New Petronics
Original waterproof distributor
New NAPA carb
It runs perfectly until stops without sputter then will not restart until sitting 5 mins.

Both of my mechanics are stumped. It seems heat related to me.

Any help would be appreciated.

Coil breaking down when hot?

Vapor lock? Check the carb. when this happens to see if the accelerator pump will squirt gas. Try it a few times. Did any of the new gas lines get run too close to then engine? Next check spark with a spare plug. Hook up the plug and ground the side on the block. Is spark good? Did you ever hook up the ventilation lines to the distributor? They are there for a reason.

Choke stuck closed?

Will it restart and run briefly each time or does it eventually just die and not start at all.

Does it run smooth when it is running?

A loose wire to the distributor? Check volts to Petronix.

Couple other possibilities...The vent line on the fuel tank could be plugged, causing a vacuum in the tank.
Is there another, possibly plugged, filter built into the carb inlet?
Good luck. You’ll get there.

Good thoughts. Just remember David, there are only two things that will cause it to do this....no fuel or no spark. Which one will narrow down the possibilities. And that is the beautiful thing about old cars.

Thank you all. About the time Santa's Sleigh was having it's problems my Mom's house got hit by a tornado in Arkansas so I had to drop everything and run up here to help her get some things before the three massive oak trees that fell on it collapsed it for good.
I will be back at The Lair Saturday night.

Eddy the Eagle ran the fuel lines so I'm betting it isn't that. First we will look into the Petronix and coil.

Yes, it restarts, then after 3 restarts it doesn't. It seems to me after it cools it restarts. The colder it is, the longer it runs before cutting off abruptly...no sputtering.

Thank you, I've gotta return to work at hand.

Patrolling again soon,

Sorry to hear about the damage to your Mom’s home.

Your mechanics seem to be on the right track. Probably the coil could also be at fault. You can try with another coil. No need for the Pertronix one while you troubleshoot.

Sorry to hear about your mom's house. Hope she is OK and can get life back together quickly.
Post up a picture of the electrical cut off switch when you get it mounted. I bought one also but haven't decided where to put it. I'm thinking somewhere out of sight since these things aren't that secure. Not that there are a lot of undesirables running around my neighborhood looking to steal for old Patrols with a manual tranny.
