Is there supposed to be some kind on nut on the end of the adjustment lock stud/bolt? Arrow in picture.. I was adjusting this and it was so loose you could just slide the little pivot nut right off the clamp bolt. Not my picture - I borrowed it from another's thread.

All right! Couple squirts of Gumout in there, and some light taps with the 17mm wrench, and she fired right up. This buys me a little time, so I can clean out the garage a bit and pull the truck in there to work on. Got the JimC rebuilt carb and disto going back on. After that - a job I've been...

Thanks, very helpful. I'm going to try that first, along with some tapping and rapping. I really should put the original carb back on, though, so I'm going to do that anyway in the near future. HNY!

Thanks. I shall give it the taps and raps, and then put the good carb on! HNY!!

No start after sitting a few weeks - fuel and pump a-ok, getting gas to carb. If I pour in a little gas into carb, it fires right up. Sight glass shows the bowl empty and dry. Is there a way to unstick the carb float/needle valve without pulling the carb off? Maybe spraying in some gumout, or...

Excellent. Thank you. I'm not replacing anything that still works if I don't have to. Yes, I did buy the parts. I want to see if I can get more mileage out of the existing hardware first. This cruiser has had only 2 owners, low mileage for an "87, and is in real good shape, so hw may still be...

I am wanting to replace the old filthy DOT3 fluid in my clutch cylinders. I was going to just install a whole new setup from JT Outfitters I just received, but wanted to try a fluid change and adjustment first, while I'm waiting on my flare nut wrench. 10mm, right? I found a used 10-12 mm...

My rule for vintage guitars is, if I am not in love in the first 5 minutes - it’s a PASS. I got lucky on an FJ 60 years ago, so I understand the craving 100%. I walked around it, then test- drove it, and within 5 minutes I was scheming how to pay for it and drive it home before she could object...

I did mine with just jack stands, and installed a new 5-speed and clutch at the same time. It was kind of a biotch. I did have air tools and was inside a shop, but it sucked not having a lift. Just go slow and take lots of notes and pictures as you go for how seals and fiddly parts go.
