Please pencil us in. My buddy is driving back to WY today. I have a storage unit near me that I'll store everything until I find someone. I'll be in touch right after the first of the year. Thanks,

1978 and just picked up a rust free tub in Houston. So I have all the best parts from a spare 78, the 75 from Houston and my 78. My buddy is buying it but he lives in nowhere Wyoming.

I need good fj40 mechanical restoration. Prefer with 40 miles of KC, could turn into full restoration. Please message me. Keith kcstude@gmail com. NO BUTCHERS

Now the question is, where do I get a trollhole carb gasket?

There was some, but not a lot. I will clean it good before it’s reinstalled.

There isn't a fuel delivery problem, I cranked it over yesterday not realizing I hadn't connected the fuel line, and I had gas everywhere.

Are the ebay carbs any good? I'm not sure I can rebuild my carb and make it run right, and if I can get a new one for less than $100, that might be the way to go.

Finally worked on it yesterday. No gas in the sight glass, gas to the carb, when I split the carb the gasket was in pieces. I'll have to see if I can get a rebuild kit for it.

I figured I would need to look at the sight glass. No flashlight with me and the air cleaner assembly is in the way. I’ll do that next. Probably need a new fuel filter as I saw debris in the catch can, could have been in there before, but I doubt. I disconnected the line at the carb, after the...

PS,, I only run non ethanol premium fuel. And, it runs of the fuel from the catch can.

My 40 has set for 8-9 months, now I can’t get it to run, other than starting fluid/gas. I thought it might be the fuel pump, but I have plenty of gas to the carb. I’m not too carburetor knowledgeable. Any advice on what an easy fix, or easy to try, so I can get this thing back on the road?

I'm having similar issues with my '78. It ran fine when parked last year but won't start now, not getting fuel to the carb. I have fuel to the pump as when I pulled the line at my filter, gas poured out. I have a trollhole carb so no return. If I have fuel to the pump, the pump should be good...

Do you have any emblems?

Marshall, I sent you an email back on April 11, 2016, with pictures of cracks in the diaphragm (not sure the correct term), on a new carb I got from you. The carb functions properly, for now, how can I contact you to see about getting a new part? I'm not sure how to post pictures on this thread.

I need one for a '78, which has the stranded cable an the sheath. What's the best way to get ahold of you, call you on the phone?
