When I said 2:54 of a 3 minute video, I meant it ,I think I shared that second with others. :lol: But they finally use the side angle image instead of the head on image in previous ads. I like that one better it shows the Patrol better and I don't look like a Nissan plus size model. :D

Thank you , I was just at the right place at the right time. I had just bought the thing and showed up at the Nissan Jam. The show was only a mile from my house, I was lucky to make it there and back without AAA. :lol: I haven't been in a show since, but it has spent plenty of time on display at my mechanics. :doh:

I need a good old school mechanic around here. I cannot find anybody that can refer me to a good carburetor guy, cause I ain't one!

I've never worked on the Hitachi carbs, but I know the Rochester carbs (B, BC, and Monojet) well enough that I could rebuild and tune one in my sleep...

PM me if you have a specific carb-related issue that I might be able to help you out with.

Thanks for the offer. When I get time to get back working on it/them, I will probably hit you up.
I took the one off that was running but flooding out at idle and rebuilt it, but now it doesn't even act like it wants to start. As I took it apart, I noticed some pieces missing and/or not quite right. I am contemplating ordering a rebuilt carb just to know I have everything there.

What a great story Urban60! Now if I buy back a 65 and restore it maybe I could be apart of the 90th? Yeah I'm a dreamer. Really a cool deal!
