Hi folks. On the other side of the planet here we are about to head into the wet season and id like to fix my wipers. The intermittent function doesn't work. Ive pulled the relay box a few times, cleaned it , cleaned the points and oiled it and it will work sometimes for a few minutes or a few...

Gday fellas. What coils are you all running. My 60 has a ebay electric dizzy and a no name red coil. It all works great, and looks like its been on this engine for a while. Id like to upgrade the coil and keep this one as a spare. I bought this pertronix flame thrower but its 3 ohms and the...

As im no mechanic, have you tried winding out the mixture screw 1/2 turn or 1 turn and wind the speed screw out /down. You may be drawing from the main jet.

Thought I should post here in this old thread. Ive owned my 83 FJ60 for a year now and same old problems as everyone. So yesterday pulled the CC out , blew air through the 2 nipples on the top and one on the bottom. The smaller top nipple I have running to a VSV and then onto the filter fitting...

Ive just done the same but could not get 3mm rubber sheet to fit in the plastic frame so ive used 1mm rubber with an extra piece glued on the bottom to add weight to it. Now when I shut a door I can hear the flappers working. I am still getting some fumes in the cabin when my window is open...

I had this happen to my 2F I found it was the wires connecting to the igniter inside the electronic distributor were broken inside the insulation sheath. Right where the wire crimps to the spade connectors. My dizzy is not OG but as the advance plate would move the wires would disconnect and...

Yep I may go stock. I spied a stock points dizzy on a wreck this week, may go back there.

Is your ignition a kit mate. I will be looking for an upgrade of some sort soon probably. This aftermarket dizzy I have seems good but im thinking I need something as a spare ignition cos of the inherent remoteness of travel here.

Just thought id tie this off. Im pretty sure I found the problem. While checking continuity of all wires I found the neg wire from the dizzy to the coil a bit sketchy. So I pulled both wires off the ignitor and tested on the bench. And both were off, so I cut the insulation right up against the...

This is the dizzy I have I think Does anyone have this fitted and can tell me the correct wiring connections for it as I am now not sure ive replaced everything correctly...

This is the choke breaker which ive removed along with this carb and replaced with a OG 3f carb I got with the truck

Ok so just to be clear as there seems to be many carb and ignition combinations. Im based in Australia. Most 60s are diesel over here. I don't believe my 1983 2F has a computer of any sort on it. The carb is now a 3F desmoged, It did have the choke breaker diaphragm on it which I have...

Well today I nearly got to my work with no backfire, thinking the coil was the problem, but them boom!. Ive read posts on here about vac gauges ill look into that, cheers Moabyte. Yes unfortunately I can adjust a valve or 2.

Ive replaced the fuel and air filter. All the other parts you mention look pretty new, ill start with cap and plugs next probably. Timing is good. You have been to WA? Cool , alot of nothing but we love it here. Around town I only buy Caltex fuel which ive found pretty consistently good. In the...
