SILVER Star
I have a 1976 South American FJ40 with 2F Engine running a Chinese made H3662 aftermarket 21100-61012 carb. No smog. I’m exploring my options to eliminate the sluggish/strained starting when hot in preparation for summer driving. My SA FJ40 was built in 4/76 and has original rebuilt engine. I’m considering adding the following:
A) why these SA trucks had no exhaust shields or cooling fans?
B) will just the shields be enough to help with hot starts?
Below are the shields I need and shots of my carb set up.
- Carb cooling fan 16362-61020 Fan No. 2 (California Spec) click here
- Carb heat shield 21912-61012 (shield for mechanical linkage) click here
- Exhaust Manifold Insulator Heat Shield NO. 1 17167-61010 click here
- Exhaust Manifold Insulator Heat Shield NO. 2 17168-61010 click here
- Exhaust Manifold Insulator NO. 3 17169-61011 (still available from Toyota click here )
