I still may call when I get up to the truck again...had to ship the truck. It made it fine and the transport guy was from Africa and said he had no problems.

I think it is getting flooded on first try too. I wonder if the startron additive would cause this? I switched tubes back to see if it would start better...still churns. I am going to pull a plug and check it.

alright...so without books or manuals to study on my own...I was having the gas vapor issue with my tank. If I filled it up sometimes it would spit gas out of the tank and smell up the car etc. After reading on this site I switched the tubes some time ago on the charcoal filter(?) and it...

The warm start issue is completely resolved and works great. The cold start is still an issue. I will try the 10 pumps. Right now I have been trying the 2 pumps and it churns. I then shut the choke off and wait 3-5 minutes and it starts right up like a warm start. It is painful if you are in a...

Okay....I actually wrote down the choke steps above and I went out to my cruiser today and the battery was totally dead. I completely cleaned and tightened the connections to the battery and it still didn't start so I jumped it. After some charging it started strong using the cold start...

yep I will try all that in the morning and respond. I went out there today and did a cold start and it failed. I tried several times more and then looked under hood to be sure battery cable was tight. It was really hot and I could smell a plastic smell so I left it alone. I am quite sure this...

I looked around lightly and could not find anyone with a similar issue. If there is on please let me know. Here is what is happening: Sometime back on my 1986 FJ60 I noticed some oil leaking in the rear main so after reading up on it and speaking to some folks I decided to try the thickest...

The Rust I am talking about... So you guys see what I am dealing with....there are more bubbles going down that same side on roof.

so the 2100 was just for the part? or work too? The cowl has pretty bad rust around one wiper. It looks like the rust spread from there around one side of the windshield and then inside the front door window some. I am not sure how much is surface vs deep cancer. I found these guys...

whoa... Holy cow! That is a crazy thread. Thank you for posting it. I just bought a FJ60 on a whim and it has some rust issues. Reading through the thread you posted is certainly eye opening. It looks like fixing it will cost more than I paid for the truck. I think for my sanity I will...

same issue - FJ60 1986 I know this is an old thread but I have the same exact problem. Would any of you who had this done have some more information? Pictures? How much did it cost? Did it work? What did you find out? What did the shop say? It looks like to me that the cowl...

I find it hard to believe there is no shop in North Florida...Jacksonville or even in South Georgia. Anyone heard of a place?
