i had a flat spot when i test drove my honda and i figured it sat for a few years (15) so i bought a rebuild kit for the carb. it wasn't bad except for all the o rings what a pain. i ended up buying a used one out of pull and save and ran seafoam through it that worked much better no more flat spot then i had to find a new fuel filter then had to modify the vacuum hoses finally got them figured out, carb wasn't exactly the same but close enough now all i need is the multi-purpose relay i think i got it bypassed. the fuel pump works now but not properly. new one is too expensive and they are hard to find in the wrecking yards as well as wiper motors. it is fun getting info on these old cars.

i had a neighbor who had a datun 610 with 4 carbs and a five speed tranny. he went to jail for something and his wife was trying to sell it for 1000bucks . the only thing wrong with it is it't been sitting for 15 yrs and it wasn't built for a tall person. but i was really tempted any way.
