Hey all. Just found out about this group thanks to a fellow forum member. I live in Downtown Charleston, SC. My yellow, South American 1982 FJ45 has been parked for going on 5 months now. I had an abrupt case of near stalls one day when driving and ever since then it has either been no-start or starts super rough, runs a tad rough, then stalls. Here is a thread documenting my troubleshooting. If anyone is an engine expert with these 2Fs, I'd love some help. I'll provide some beers, or whatever else your vice is as long as it's not blow. I'm hoping someone with more knowledge of troubleshooting these engines or experience working on them, in general, could provide some insight before I start throwing more parts at it. I just ordered a carb kit, and plan to tackle that when it arrives, but as of now it's basically non-running. Luckily there is a great shop close to me that works on a lot of FJ40s (super, super cool family owned business too). My time is valuable to me, at the moment, but I'm also a serial DIYer and hate owning things I can't fix myself.
I should have all tools lying around that we might need.

No Start Help 1982 FJ45
My guess is carburetor has become fouled and needs a rebuild. You might want to see if you can locate an inexpensive working carb. It’s always nice to have a backup when you trouble shoot or keep the truck running during a carburetor rebuild. Good luck — you been really fighting this one...
