I got the GS(L) running today. It was a bad ground wire and dead battery. What I need to know now is, what will I need to do, to remove the rats nest. its a stock 12A with no cats and a Racing Beat axel back system. And a custom intake. Also at this time I should be able to remove the air pump also right?

Yup you can pull the airpump and ACV off if you have a block-off plate for the ACV.Hereonout pulled his rats nest off his 12a with the stock nikki so its very doable.Nice link Drifter.

THat links also got a how-to on cold-air induction which looks quite doable too.

Yeah, you lucky bastard.

Next week I start looking for my T2 half-cut, although looks like I might have no-where to put it.

Yeah,I would worry about making it rust free first seeing as worst comes to worst you can get the TII later on when you find a spot to work on it.Your so far into the body work I would focus all your efforts on fixing as much as humanly possible from now till the time the lease is up on getting the metal brought back to life on it.The rust paint it till you can get the paint job done to it.Better to have a rust free FB then a dead rusted FB that was 60% done to a full body resto.Good luck.

what is it doing? carbs dont just go bad, usually. it does take a while to rebuild the carb, but its not that bad

idle is fine but if I take it to like 2500 and hold it then rev higher it bogs down. and it stalls some times
