I received my carb today!!!
For the other members here, id like to share some info on what i dealt with as a newb. I have a 1978 FJ40 with a 2F motor desmogged. Previous owner put a weber with cable throttle instead of linkage. To accommodate this awesome new carb, i had to purchase a new carb insulator from specter offroad. The insulator is a heat shield and an approx 3/4" spacer with build in gaskets. Also purchased carb studs and nuts from specter. The trollhole carb does not sit perfectly onto the new updated version of the insulator and i had to dremel out a few areas to clear the throttle linkage. The wire coming from the carb solenoid goes to the positive terminal of the coil. The only issue most people may come across are those with cable throttle. The cable bracket that trollhole provides does not directly fit the throttle cable for a weber. I had to cut a piece off the weber cable throttle bracket and weld onto the trollhole in order to fit my current throttle cable. I plugged everything in and cranked it for a few mins. Started up like a charm!!! I connected my rpm gauge to set idle. I just need to make a few more adjustments and ready.
This is truly a solid product!!!
Thank you Marshall!!!
