@FJ40Jim Thank you for your reply. The timing gear was good as new when the guy dropped it in, so it was the guys wits that failed on him i guess:bang:. The dumber part is, i have been running it through all that one would run his 70 through, what kind of internal collateral should i be...

Hello every one. I am new on mud and looking for some pointers on this issue that i have with my FJ70. I had posted earlier in the 70 series tech forums but those guys said it would be a better idea to post here since there are more 3Fs running around here and in the 80s secions. So here is a...

^^ Thanks for the reply roscoFJ73. Yeah, what you say makes sense, but id have to be a complete boob for not being able to set #1 at tdc. Maybe the cam alignment is off by a few teeth, and causes those two valves to remain open? Apart from this, whats the correct way to replace the cam...

Hi y'all I have this little gremlin in my trusty old FJ70 with the original 3F. The motor has around 273000 KMS on it and does every thing great apart from idling. Tweaked carb to nice tan plugs and everything else to spec, threw in a new dizzy after a suspected bad bearing, timed it to spec...

Hi everyone, been looking around here on mud for an answer to this question. As i get it, there are two 3f dizzys, ones got a larger body/cap than the other. My FJ70 came with this 'larger' dizzy and now it needs to go out. The question here is, are these two interchangable? What effects would...

Hi Y'all I was thinking about going all disc with my 90 fj70 that currently has drums on all corners. I dont want to change my tubes and want to find a set that bolts right up to the current tubes. Any leads? Thanks.

Hello Y'all I have a FJ70 which is playing up lately with a sporadic rough idle issue. Everything seems to be on the dot i.e timing, idle mixture, good plugs/wires, no vacum leaks etc etc. When she feels like, she idles like a dream, then all of a sudden she becoms a suzuki and starts idling...

Hi all, im going back to the stock tire size on my FJ70 but dont really know what that is. Can anyone help me on this?

@roscoFJ73 It only puffs smoke while the secondary opens, how do i set the mixture on that? cant see any screws on the outside.Also, what kind of highway speeds are 'normal' for this rig with near-stock size tires?

Hello everyone!! This is my first post here so once again a big hi to you all. Now for the problem. I have a 1991 fj70 with the stock aisin carburetor. After getting it rebuilt and having the mixture set a couple of times here, it seems to run fine. Timing seems to be the way it should be but...
