Rebuild the carb carefully and you’ll start to get a better idea of how it all works. If you’re going to drive this thing you certainly should familiarize yourself with how the carb functions. It’s a brilliant, albeit complex, solution to a fairly simple problem. Atomize fuel with oxygen so it...

I would rather have a tight strong t case and a sloppy transmission. The rebuild kit isn’t really THAT expensive and if you’re going into the transmission you HAVE to go into the t case anyway. All you’ll have to do is press bearings in and out and reseal it. To skip it after all this work would...

I bet that carb has all kinds of gunk in it you’ll find as you dig deeper. Maybe I missed it but did you check the fuel pump?

I wanna see you do this…. 😎

Good call

I’m like 99% sure that line is aluminum and being that it’s not in contact with the block or coolant system and is sitting directly behind the radiator fan I think it cools pretty quickly on its own. When I set up my sniper with headers I used a soft line going through that space and installed...

He’s making headers???

Ahhh! I remember hearing about that from a friend’s father. He worked for Lockheed Martin and was involved in alternative fuel systems I believe. I wanna make an fj60 Ute with a system to run on torrified wood. Never run out of fuel as long as you can find the woods.

Are you doing the roof too? That thing is like a drum head bouncing around up there.

What is going on there??? Is it running on propane or something?? By the way, I wish we had hopper stoppers in the states. Our moose and elk are insanely heavy.

That’s how it goes…

I wonder if you could also install a cruise control sensor or find one that changes the ratio and has a sensor. That would be neat.

That’s great tech info. Thanks!

When I lived in Calirado I would do a trick to dump fresh air into the exhaust. It’s been years since I’ve had to do it, but there’s a thread somewhere. I took a copper bb and stuck it in a vac line to close a valve which dumped fresh air into the exhaust. Tangentially, I would get the engine...

When I ran my sniper set up I had a boost gauge in the cabin. It was essential for the sniper imo. When my fuel pump failed I was very quick to diagnose it because I knew vacuum was 100% fine when it died. I will be reinstalling it when the truck goes back together…. Eventually.
