I had the same situation with the overhang by the front bib. Another mud member suggested that you need to shim the front body mount of the tub. This is the only way that you will get rid of the overhang. I tried multiple times of trying to adjust the fender and hood with no luck. I ended up...

VHX and Velcroed to the side of the glove box. I purchased the sending unit from Tanks Inc. I went this route after reading that certain year models the OEM sending units are compatible, but after half a tank they drop like a rock to empty. I can't provide any info on this, since I went with the...

There is also a rubber grommet in the floor pan under the 12v battery under the back seat. I was looking at some videos for powered side steps and they showed that location for grabbing battery power. This would also be A PITA to connect depending on how often you use the tender.

I believe it's Toyota FIPG 00295-01281 Seal Packing 103 (form in place gasket). I used this along with a speedy sleave and a Valley Hybrids modified speedo housing with a double seal. There are (2) types of Toyotas FIPG. Please see if other members confirm. There are a few videos on this...

Jim C rebuilt my carb back in October. Money well spent especially when he test runs it on an engine before returning. Did you try to contact him on his TLC Performance website?

Thank you all for the replies, So, I ended up speaking to Jim @ TLC who originally desmog the carb 10 or so years ago. While running and trying to idle, I have fuel dripping into the primary which should not be. I also checked around the entire intake/exhaust gasket as well as the bottom intake...

Thanks, As per the second pic, I have both the vacuum port capped on the base of the carburetor.

LOL. 1100

So just a little back round. 10 years or more back, I had Jim C desmog my 77 and at that time we bypassed the vacuum advance by capping off the ported connection on both the dizzy and the carb and the engine ran fine. I recently performed a body off and had the engine rebuilt as well as sending...

I just ordered a new OEM one from Toyota but will pick up a rebuild kit for the one that's leaking. I don't think there is 500 miles it although it is over ten years old. Thank you for the link.

Thanks for the fast reply. I will definitely check the oil for fuel contamination. I had Jim C desmog the carb over ten years ago and even replaced the fuel pump and the engine ran fine. During this restoration, I had the engine/carb rebuilt and started it for the first time. It has only ran for...

Question, I just finished a restoration on my 77 with stock 2f engine. I have fuel leaking from the bottom of the fuel pump. Threaded connections for supply and return seem tight and dry as well as the hose connections. Is there a diaphragm inside that could go bad? If so, would it leak from...

Ratchet straps worked like a charm. I installed the hook on the interior lip of the fiberglass top and the other on the windshield frame and was ever to crank it right into position. I then had to pooch it forward a bit in the same manner. Thanks for the info!

I may have to give this a try. I may cut some wood spacers, so I don't jeopardize the rain gutter. Maybe I can attach the door bow to the top and use that to pull the top into place.
