So I went back and revisited my wiring of the wiper switchand wiring harness to motor. Turns out I had 12v+ wired to switch and had 12v+ wired to motor. After reworking the wiring so there is no direct 12v+ to switch and ignition switched 12v+ to motor things are somewhat better. The...

My windshield wipers on my 1970 fj40 works well except that it runs down my battery when parked. I have the 12v+ directly to wiper motor as in most of the diagrams I found on this site. Should the 12v+ power be from ignition switch power or always on power? If it is supposed to be always on...

I got the wiper motor to work. The problem I am having now is it won't shut off when I push the wiper switch totally in. If I connect the blue/blk stripe wire, that should be soldered into the top reed of the park switch, to the blue wire on the motor connector it will turn off. If if put the...

My wipers on my 1970 fj40 are not working. I would like to try to see if the motor is working first. Can I put +12v to the all blue wire on the windshield wiper harness connector by the motor and place a neg cable to either the blue/red stripe wire or blue/wht wire to see if motor turns over...

Can you use a chinese 2f carb with a vacuum retard distributor? If not why?

Can you use a chinese 2f carb with a vacuum retard distributor? If not why? Just trying to figure things out.

I'm new to the fj40 game. What do you have to do to add another port to the carburetor? Can you do this to a f carb and a 2f carb? Thanks.

I have a new question about my troll hole carb. I did buy a rebuild kit for my carb but I am wondering if I could take the part of the troll hole carb that is made for the throttle cable and attach it to a 2f carburetor that is made for a throttle linkage? Thanks, Buck

Here are a couple of dizzy pics from my 1970 fj40. Can someone identify for me? Thanks, Buck

I understand. But what can I do now?

I am using the mechanical fuel pump. The only carb I have for the FJ is the trollhole carb. I can get a carb kit from cruiser outfitters for the troll hole carb? Or should I contact Troll Hole and get a carb kit? Buck

Here is the switch I was talking about. I am not sure what it is for. Buck
