haha well thanks for the answers jim. I have the abilities to drill a bolt out but wanted to make sure it would work okay. guess we'll see.

the bolt was stripped. I happen to have a steel bolt, the same size and thread pitch, can I just drill a hole into the new bolt?

I have an early 70's aisin carb and would like to know what the purpose of one of the bolts is. if you pull apart the upper and lower halfs of the carb, by removing the three boltrs from the lower half, there is one bolt, about 1.25" long that has a 3/32 hole through the center of it. mine is...

Okay guys after much toying around with whether or not to trun my 72 fj40 into a project or sell, I have decided to part it out. This is a whole vehicle, complete minus hard and soft top components. I would like to sell what I can before taking to the crusher (body is pretty well rusted) Most of...

ive got a 72 fj40 project. nearly all complete except top. all original, clean title. im in colorado. will be willing to sell cheap ($900). email me cobrasjj@hotmail.com.

can someone tell me exactly how the 2 springs on the choke rod are situated on 1972 (maybe other) carbs. I was messing around with my carb and the choke relief spring flew off. any pics, diagrams etc??

no, it is next to the secondary though. it appears to be a small, curved rod, not connected to anything except for a small butterfly valve inside the carb, above the lower butterfly valves. it has a cylindrical counter weight on the end, to allow it to move back to the correct position. what it...

can anyone tell me what the small arm on the right rear of the factory carb is, it has the small cylindrical counter weight on it) it only seems to be connected toi a butterfly inside the carb and nothing else. any ideas?

sorry, right now I cant because my digital cam needs replaced. what I know is its on the drivers side front fender, and has what looks to be 3-4 nipples on the box...but they look broken. the box is black and says evaporative emission control.

can anyone give me a factory vaccuum diagram for a mid 72 fj40? I am kind of stumped as to where some of the lines go (notably the vacuum lines on my evap emissions control system). I have a evap emissions control device mounted on my drivers fender well which looks like there are a few vacuum...

well I have a 72 fj with the stock F engine, thats probably a little tired by now. I would rebuild my carb if I had one of the right vintage, instead I have one date coded 1984, and its got plenty-o-extra vacuum ports and the linkage looks cobbled. Id buy a used one and have rebuild but I dont...

Okay, so before getting flogged for not searching the boards first for advice, let me say I have searched and searched for only nebulous answers. I need a new carb, quickly. I DO NOT have the option to send mine in for a rebuild, so I need to look at alternatives. here are my questions. I am...

see, mine used to be connected to one of the distibuter coil's terminals, but I didnt think that was right. was hoping there was an actual provision in the harness to accomodate the solenoid. I dont even see it labeled on the schematics.

curious where the factory carb's idle solenoid plugs into on the fj40's wiring harness. I have a 1972 fj40. thanks

okay guys and gals, im new to the forum here and just would like to say thank you all for your time and effort to make this a great learning tool for us cruiser fans. As for me im new to the game, but have wanted "in" for many years. things started off slow, when I was still in high school and...
