Well, I'm back on the forum with more problems as per the usual.
As an update for those who have been helping me out here on mud, THE FJ40 IS RUNNING!
Here's a picture of her for the sake of having pictures...pretty ain't she? haha
SPECS: '76 2F Motor
THE SCOOP: So the problem is, as I was changing the oil, we found that there was a good bit of fuel mixed in it.
DIAGNOSIS: According to my research, there are quite a few things that can be causing this, i.e, flooding the carburetor so the carb is dumping fuel through the engine into the combustion chamber, a bad diaphragm on the fuel pump which can cause fuel to leak through the crankshaft, or bad compression and oil rings on the pistons.
I've begun to take apart my fuel pump to examine the diaphragm, but I haven't reached any conclusions on that possible problem quite yet.
But before I get too immersed in attempting to troubleshoot any of the scenarios described above, I wanted to run the problem by you all to see if any of you have experienced this before and see what you did to fix it!
All of your advice and information is appreciated!
