middlecalf replied to the thread Purist Step away. Mint 400 2023 FJ45.You answered the most pressing question I have and that’s what are you going to do with this rig now. The most heartening thing with this whole event was the level of expectations set from the git go. A lot of people argue if the glass is half... -

Fired up the old dog today and just went for a drive. I love how it sounds like driving a bucket of loose bolts. hahaha . With a bit of choke the F135 pulled hard and seemed happy. Things that need attention: Install residual valve on rear...

middlecalf replied to the thread Builds Clifford is home again- a 1965 FJ40 FST.Another early morning thought: do you still have a functioning exhaust heat deflector thingy in your exhaust manifold? I wonder if this is having a cold vs. warm impact on your stumble? My deflector was removed sometime in its past by a PO so...

middlecalf replied to the thread Builds Clifford is home again- a 1965 FJ40 FST.Did all the same stuff you’ve done Chase, plugging/capping everything, getting squirts of fuel, …. and same results. Maybe this is as good as it gets.

Haha, I am not giving up! Ok well stopping short of ripping major things apart. :p I hope I can solve this and it helps you as well. Sounds very similar though. I wish I had dual carbs. :grinpimp: Edit: ok @middlecalf I may have to change my...

I have the same symptoms on my SD40 and after enough fiddling and rebuilding, I came to the same conclusion and now worry about other things.

Thank you for this! That is super helpful to know. Maybe this is as good as it gets and there is nothing really to dig for. :steer:

For what it’s worth, I had Jim C rebuild my SD40 carb and he could not get it to run perfect on his “test rig” without a little choke. I think he uses a 2f on his 60 series with a manifold adapter to run the older carbs. He knows how well his...

Stream seems good! I’ll get a shot of it. It’s a vacuum advance dizzy. The only accessories off the manifold are the PCV valve and the 4WD system. I plugged the 4wd system and it didn’t change anything. PCV system is all tight and sealed. I...

middlecalf replied to the thread Builds Clifford is home again- a 1965 FJ40 FST.So now were on the right track, because you still need to get this figured out so then I know what to do with my rig as I have the exact same fault (stumble) and runtime hack fix (choke). :p I'm not a fan of high(er) timing advance FWIW. But...

middlecalf replied to the thread So what's a D40 big window carb going for these days.Thanks @oregon fj I think I have a can of that. Was also thinking about Tinning butter that has lead in it that will leave a coating of tin/lead.

I think I soaked them in a can of POR Metal Prep. That strips the rust and leaves a thin phosphate to prevent flash rust.

middlecalf reacted to mattressking's post in the thread What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week? with Like.
Spent some time fixing this up and getting it working. Turned out great I think. Used the 40 series rear tail lamp lens screws which are exactly 2mm longer. Left is original, right are the new oem screws. Ended up making a new gasket from 5mm...

Hurricane Creek this was my rear view, my amby door lock hates its job apparently.

middlecalf replied to the thread Is it supposed to be so rough?.Like @SteveH alluded to, your tires play a significant role in ride quality on washboard roads.

On cruddy roads, lower your tire pressure and your ride will improve.

My screw up that one on the left is from a 1962 FST. Fat fingers. I do remember the tail of gate was $40 with all the hardware at a wrecking. Maybe one of these days will move to a computer or a tablet. Thought I had a Samsung tablet that would...

Hahaha, I know that took forever! I still do have a heat related vacuum leak I believe. The engine picks up better vacuum and smoother idle as it heats up. Although seems right for a old engine. I have no idea where the leak could be, but I will...
