Fuel starvation issue solved. After going through the entire fuel system (new free gas tank from Toyota), replacing an aftermarket fuel pump with an OEM fuel pump and early on, over half a dozen inline fuel filters the fuel starvation issue was the small screen that is on top of the needle seat...

My phone call to Toyota Corporate went well so far. Well, they did not say NO, but they did confirm that my two service campaigns are still open and that there is not a time limitation on them. They will call me back on a couple days to let me know if they have located the parts or what their...

THANK YOU Morganism!!!

Toyota verified that there was an open service bulletin on the gasoline tank. Parts were ordered and then a week later the dealership called me and said the parts are no longer available. They gave me a Toyota Corporate phone number to call but I was on hold and transferred a couple of times and...

These are really good points to bring up, thank you. I will check them out. I will call Toyota in the morning and have them add the filler neck hose. As far as the mud goes, I bought the FJ60 in Las Vegas and the undercarriage looks like it never left the street. There is no mub stuck in any...

Monday update: After I drained the carb bowls again, I tried the poor man's carb overhaul. It did not make any difference in overall fuel flow although you could see some rush of fuel in the site glass window when there was a high vacuum with a rag over the carb. It did run a bit smoother so...

The new fuel pump is NOT a Toyota OEM. It is from O'Reiley's and most likely a made in China fuel pump. Next stop on Monday is Toyota to check out a fuel pump and a gas tank.

The fuel level moves up and down freely and never goes above the mid-point on the float bowl window. Remember, this FJ has run very well and has been on some rough trails without any issues prior to this problem. I am taking all advise seriously and I am very pleased and impressed with all of...

The fuel plunger (accelerator pump) is fine. It reves without stumbling. It drives without stumbling until the carb is starved for fuel.

There is a fuel replay on a carburated FJ? It would not surprise me with the amount of emission crap under the hood. There are no lighting issues. Headlights and dash lights remain constant. None of the alternator wiring gets hot. Yes, I do have a Toyota dealer close by. Are they honoring a...

Latest update, I drained the tank for the third time and the fuel ran out clean with virtually no debris. The fule flow is very low, enough to high idle and fill the crab to the center of the sight glass. But when driving type fuel demand is required it still staves out. There are no...

Let me add an observation that came to me last night: the two times this has happened were when I filled the gas tank up. I have no clue if this is a factor or a coincidence. The first time I drained the tank and change the fuel pump I only put in 5 gallons of gas and it seemed to run fine, so I...

The fuel lines are in the correct position. This is a rust free chassis and after a thorough inspection of the steel lines the look good and when under pressure there are no wet spots on the lines. It will run in the driveway all day, enough fuel is pumped to the carb that it will run at high...

Thanks, folks for all of this feedback. The fuel lines are in the correct position. This is a rust free chassis and after a thorough inspection of the steel lines the look good and when under pressure there are no wet spots on the lines. It will run in the driveway all day, enough fuel is pumped...

I will keep this simple. This 1984 FJ60 is box stock and mostly original. I have driven this 1984 FJ60 a few hundred miles without any issues then one evening I filled it up with gasoline and went to go play. About 10 miles after leaving the gas station it stumbled and died. I blew out a very...
