85 4runner fuel issues

Trail Runner · 01-06-06, 11:35 PM

Hey guys need some help again. When I bought the 4runner the guy that I bought it from had the engine rebuilt with a cam from LC. It smelt like gas a little. So I changed out the O2 and it helped alittle. I am guessing I need to have the chip dialed in. Lately though it really smells like gas especially in the engine area and has a hard time starting when it is cold. I can't find any visible leeks though. Any ideas or a good Toy shop would be great. Thanks.

Ya, sure did I posted anywhere. I found out with the fuel damper adjustment screw had fallen out and was spitting fuel all over the ground. An easy replacement part. It also helped with the fuel smell from the exhaust.

Excellent. Excellent. It's always good when it's something small.

Howdy! Hey, you lucked out on that one. The whole dampner on mine died and they are mucho $$$$ to replace. Now you need to get back out on the trails. John
