Thanks, I'll give that a shot.

Just had my manifolds back from the machine shop. The intake and exhaust were loosely bolted together while I re-attached them to the 2F with a nice new gasket. The last bolts to tighten were the 5 connector bolts (3 upper and 2 lower) that hold the intake and exhaust together. 3 uppers were...

Thanks for responding! Based on those photos it sure looks like you know what you're doing! VSV does activate, even at 11 volts, and it did pass the air test when activated. So that said, I may send that pretty on the outside controller to you and see if you can check it out. The tabs don't...

I recently replaced my fuel tank and fuel filler tube, and while in there replaced all of the fuel hoses and decided to take a shot at restoring the EVAP system, including: - new check valve (mine was missing, just had a line from the fuel vapor container to an open-ended hard line that led to...

OEM Part# 83310-60014 New Condition, still in box $50.00 plus shipping I have two for sale. eBay has the same model listed for $90, so this is a good deal.

Maybe so in the spring- more around the Cohuttas and north this time. Will let you know.

I did the western half already, so we picked up where we left off and headed east. Camped the second night on Charlie’s Creek road, right at the creek crossing.

Thanks, we had a great trip. Camped Thursday night at Winfield Scott and started Friday. That night we camped a mile or two before the Tallulah River crossing, and finished in South Carolina Saturday around 3:00.

We have a group hitting the eastern half tonight through Saturday! Ready to go! My friend has a new Defender, so I’m sure to run circles around him in the FJ40

It’s used and original OEM. Recently boiled and sealed as I restored the whole fuel system. No issues or leaks.

This tank was boiled and sealed less than a year ago, and is in excellent condition and ready for more decades of use. I don't want this to sit in the garage unused. Make an offer and we can work out details about shipping, picking it up or meeting somewhere.

For years I've battled the carburetor idle circuit blockage, I'd say once or twice a year. If the carb was noticeably staring to misbehave, I'd run a bottle of fuel system cleaner and lo and behold, made the situation worse. Had the tank boiled and sealed, fuel lines replaced, but the problem...

I've experienced repeated obstruction in the idle circuit. On two occasions the circuit clogged soon after using fuel system cleaner. I run only 90-octane ethanol-free gas from a good station, so I don't think fuel is the issue. I've had the tank boiled and sealed with new lines to the fuel...

I plan to be there with my 40. Is this a swap meet?

I replaced the fuel float/sender altogether and had no problems since!
