Beer is in hand! Next project. The life of a Cruiser owner, right?!

Finally, I went through the lines last weekend and found a hole in one, and two that were switched on the carb itself. The ICS works (thanks for the suggstion), but I am going to check the intake seal at the manifold gasket, the carb gasket seal and the junction where the intake and exhaust...

Thanks Lambcrusher. I will check the ICS first since Spike Strip also mentioned it. I had a knowledgeable carb guy do a base-line adjust and his opinion was that there is a vacuum leak. Looks like I will start chasing smog lines this weekend. Better get some beers!!! BTW: I drove it this...

Thanks Spike Strip! So the SOR unvented plate cannot be causing the idle issue I am having after it is fully warmed up, correct? It sounds more like a seal or vacuum tube issue. I will check the ICS tonight. The picures are very helpful. Not sure what happened to mine.

The replacement carb is correct and looked great. I will definitely check out the vacuum lines this weekend. Thanks for the suggestion. The blockoff plate SOR sent me shown below to the right of the diagram, which sits over the opening you picture above. To the right is the actual plate that...

I recently took my '86 FJ60 in to have the intake/exhaust combo gasket replaced - typical slap noise on acceleration. The shop also replaced the fuel line filter, the 2 gaskets at the heat riser interface (btwn the intake and exhaust manifolds), the doughnut, the carb insulator gasket and...

The slowest man in the world! Yes, that's right...I AM the slowest man in the world. Guess that's why I bought a an old cruiser in the first place, right?? Anyway, I am a cancer researcher at UNC-CH trying to use nutrition to prevent cancer and to increase the effectiveness of existing...

Unfortunately, the me and the Mrs. have volunteered for Corks for Kids the weekend of the 12th (a UNC Children's Hospital Fund Raiser put on by the local wine merchant, win - win)

The wife and I have both been called on for work this weekend. I hate to back out of our first overnight event with ONSC, but that is the nature of the business...unfortunately. I hope to catch up you guys in the near future. HAVE FUN!

Believe me, I thought of it. Plenty of room and no need to set up a tent with two wagons. Then I thought...10-15mpg, X2...Soooo many miles...NOPE, just one! It'll be a surprise...

We're in...if we can find a dog sitter! Sorry for the late reply, but me the wife and two kids will be in for the Sat-Sun overnight. The kids are excited for a campot but I haven't decided what we will arrive in ('86-60 or the '97 Lexi-Cruiser), but we will be there!
