Good point, im not really jumping from joy with these numbers.

Time flyes, got the compression checked at least. Cold compression between 90-120 PSI. Next up the carb adjustment. Also: Summer is here in Finland -> roof is off!

I think I got it now. The idle mix screw is the big brass one ( in the first pic) and the idle screw is the one which is adjusting the throttle valve itself (not in the pics) Found also a nice old thread clearing out the functions of the carb quite nicely: Aisin carburetor idle circuit routing -...

Thanks for replies. Maybe my initial post was a bit misleading. The engine was not fully rebuild. Only the head was resurfaced + new headgasget was put on. That said, it might still be that some of the rings could be stuck as the engine was sitting for a long time. -> Compression check will...

Thanks for the support guys. To confirm the carb adjustments om my Aisan d40. Which is the carb adjustment and which is the carb mix screw? Only external adjustment screw seems to the ones in the pics attached.

Is the idle adjust screw the only thing I should adjust? Does this affect AFR while driving as well?

Charlie, please explain me your reasoning why stuck rings or loose valveguides/seals would cause rich running conditions? What is your reasoning behind this? Also, trust me. I have been running the car hard for couple of thousand miles after the rebuild. I think the stuck rings would be loose...

Thanks for these. -Timing has been checked - I did not touch any of the engine internals. Only the head was resurfaced. I dont think that this is a oil burning issue. - Compression check could be worth doing -Pinhead YouTube videos are helpful, but he is working on a different type of carb.

Hi guys. Im have been trying to look for advisory on what is assume is that my FJ is running rich. The assumption is based on that there is quite a lot of black sut on in the exhaust and on wot it does smoke dark smoke. Also the exhaust gas does smell quite horrible. I have done a full rebuild...

The draft tube is not filled by a mouse nest- checked that :). While revving the car stationary, no oil is puking out. After a drive a small amount had come out. I tried to make the fitment of the dipstick tigher... lets see how it affects the case.

Coming back to a really old thread. My 1968 with f145 engine does not have the crank case ventilations with PCV valve, only the downdraft tube from oil filler neck. Its pushing oil through dipstick. Have not measured leakdown... Anybody solved these similar challenges?

Im in the process on refurbishing a FJ40 1968 model. I did not have any seats for it. Just last year I was able to find some seats for it. Ones I found from a FJ40 1968 (assumed year by a "proffesional"), they were similar than your tans. I also found a passenger seat from a newer one, like...

There it is! Thanks again for the support!

Huge thanks to all off you, specially ACE10! One step closer to get the project finished!

Hi All, Im in the process on rebuilding my 1968 FJ. Finally i found the box underneath the drivers seat as well as the front seats. Non of them are installed, nether do i have the correct locations on where to install these. At this point it looks like that the drivers seat would be not...
