You were probably so hungry by the time you got there it didn't matter, lol! Unfortunately, TunnelInn restaurant recently closed, so now all we have is Wagonbox. Thanks for the bump!

Thanks! I think if I was on either coast it would have already sold, but I'm kinda in the middle of nowhere.

Located in Story, WY, in between Sheridan and Buffalo. See local craigslist ad for pics, thanks! 1974 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 - original motor and 4 spd / project vehicle that runs and drives. -aftermarket/bestop front bucket seats -conferr rear seat with tool box underneath -new oem toyota...

THIS WAS IT!!!:clap: I pulled out the primary/main jet and confirmed it was the stock sized 120. Used the smallest drill bit I had to bore it out just slightly. The difference was immediate and drastic- absolutely no hesitation with revving. I drove it around the neighborhood a couple times to...

Swapped out the washers as suggested, thanks, but no fixie. Don't have the vacuum gauge mounted inside, but I've been considering it. I'd have to find an inconspicuous spot to mount it. I do hook it up on a regular basis to see if any of the changes I've done affect anything. The jets are...

Available yet? I have a '74 with 1f and stock retard dizzy...

Awesome, thanks! I might need the horn/body gasket eventually if I end up taking the horn off again. The gasket in there now is not old, but I've had the carb horn off so many times that it is starting to look quite compressed and worn.

Afraid not. It is such a frustrating problem too. It starts and idles great (with good 19" of vacuumtoo), unless it's been sitting for a while and then I only have to pump the gas a couple times. The fuel will drain out of the bowl after a couple days of sitting but this seems to be a common...

so I took the top off the carb again and put a straight edge on the air horn mating surface. It is not perfectly flat, I can see light between the edge and the surface on two sides. On the worst side I could probably slide a piece of paper through the gap. I used the rivet idea to make a...

Received in great shape, thanks!!

ah, I don't think anything on this old cruiser responds on a moments notice:D She likes slow and steady with plenty of patience ....except when i first change gears and am cruising slowly, then its rough and sputtering. I can floor the gas pedal and kind of power through the roughness sometimes...

Mark & Redrocker- thanks for the advice and suggestions, looks like I'll have to get creative with this! Does the gasket just sit on top of the stopper or does it wrap around the flat part and create kind of a seal? Mark, I left you a voicemail the other day, disregard. I wish I'd sent this...

I suspected that it might but wasn't sure. Too bad that's not the case for the stopper. May have to buy an entire parts carb for that one little piece...

I'm looking for two parts from the photo- the aluminum looking stopper and the small black gasket below it. My carburetor is the oem 1974 aisan. I believe these parts are the same in '69 to '74 models. The FSM isn't particularly helpful in naming these parts, just list them as 'stopper' and...
