I'll come on out, Hopefully @strong_toy makes another appearance!

Been a while since I've come out, I booked P033 on the end.

Yeah, I plan on troubleshooting the fuel later, as I've had fuel in the bowl more recently than I've had spark. Nadeem, I took your advice and just took a set of jumper cables and attached the two leads to random sections of the block and attached them to the frame, just in case I didn't have...

I've tried it before, but not recently. I'll give it a try tonight. I assumed it was mostly due to evaporation. It's parked in the sun and the air cleaner assembly is disconnected. I'm going to change out the fuel filters (yeah PO put a second on), blow the lines down, and then prime with...

New plugs, a little oily on the electrodes, but they got replaced. New NGK wires, made sure they "popped" into place. New rotor, scraped the main terminal anyway. No change. Did blow in some starting fluid into cylinder 5 just to see if I could get a cylinder to ignite (no dice) as I need to...

Yes, at least 2 of them have the aluminum contacts, so I'll give them a little scrape/file and see if I can get some good fresh metal. Pulled the # 6 and #5 wires, one was nice and corroded at the plug end. So, I think I'm going to go ahead and change out the plugs and put on new wires today.

Made a jumper wire and tried starting a few times, no fire up. I'm going to leave it for now though becuase at least I know it's a undamaged straight wire!

All, I've finally reached my wit's end on not having spark on my 1974 FJ40. Long story short, ran fine and parked it for a 6 month work assignment and came back to it not wanting to start. I've played around with it here and there a few hours at a time, changing some things here and there...

I did notice that one of the regulator/lines was in the grill itself. That's easy enough to replace.

I think everyone decided this was the way to go for replacements (LED's can get installed later):

It is, is it still at The Barn? If it is, I could bring it back for you this weekend.

I'll be out there Saturday and Sunday...

Was trying to make it back to a Meeting, but won't make this one, Ella High School softball tonight. I'll be at the Meet and Greet though!

I'll pick them up from R.K., I've been his way a time or two. But, you'll have to pick them up at King of Hammers next week or I take ownership of them... :)

Sir you better not be attaching that awning to any trees or shrubs in Francis Frank's eyesight... Stay on the pad! There aren't many rules here, but...
