Chloe’s Diner, Massillon Ohio. Owner is Jeff’s motorcar’s.

Right now the motor will run smooth at idle but every once in a while it almost is like the timing is off. We then tried to take it down the road and when the engine was under stress going up a hill it ran rough.

There is about 82k original miles, I will do my best to check the other things. Where is the “pee tube” and when you say sections do you mean where there are vacuum hose connections?

What I don’t understand is prior to the carb rebuild, when I adjust the idle mixture screw, there is not any change in the motor rpm’s. After the rebuild it is the same where there is not much vacuum change when the screw is adjusted.

All plugs have good spark, points were all just reset while the carb was being rebuilt

This is the gauge I’m using. CmHg

Trying to get the motor to stop backfiring. When it started we decided to rebuild the carb. Just rebuilt the carb, and still backfiring. Reset all the points on the distributor and found a wire that was going to the distributor terminal was broken. We fixed the wire, and I also bought a vacuum...

Thank you! And where is the spot to plug it in?

We have a 1977 fj40 and just rebuilt the carb. What is a good way to test the vacuum system? And what should I buy to test the vacuum system so I can get the correct readings when tuning the carb?

Hello, I am rebuilding a 1977 Aisan 2f carb and after watching pinheads videos about the vacuum actuator, I have found that the vacuum does not pull up the butterfly to be open fully. The only way I can get it to open fully is if I rotate it on the opposite side where the linkage is connected...

We should exchange numbers. Message me!

Would also be great to get contact information to ask local people questions! Currently rebuilding the carburetor, and always am looking for advice on other topics of the cruiser as well.

Hello everyone. We are located in northeast Ohio, close to Kent State specifically. We have spotted a ran fj40 in the Kent and brimfield area which is really close to us. We have always wondered who it is, and have even been next to each other at stop lights but never exchanged information. The...
