Sorry it has taken so long to answer you. Yes, I have tried tipping the tank, and that is the only way I can get fuel to come out. All of the lines are new and I changed the tank because the original one began to rust and it was clogging my lines. On the original tank, there is no return line...

I am looking at replacing the carburetor on my '73 FJ40. So far, I have looked at Holly Carburetors, but I don't know if my intake system will work with a 2 barrel carb. Can anyone advise me on this?

I just bought a new gas tank for my 1973 FJ40 and after installing it I have run into a new problem that I can't fix. There is no fuel going to my fuel lines! I have filled the tank half way and it won't get any fuel in the lines. When I blow through the lines into the tank, normally I should...

Thanks for the responses guys. I kinda figured it was the gearing, but I wanted to make sure before I went back to my dad and admitted he was right :o

Thanks for the response. I'll try it and see what happens.

My '73 FJ40 is completely stock, and I drive it everyday to work, but there are times when I can't help but feel like there is something wrong with it and I don't know what it is. It struggles to hit 60mph and once it does, the engine is absolutely screaming! If I am going downhill, it'll hit 65...

The choke on my '73 FJ40 has become incredibly hard to pull and sometimes won't even budge. Any suggestions on how to fix it?

More pics... Some more pics of my Cruiser...

FJ40 All Original, Need to Sell :( Regrettably, I am selling my '73 FJ40 Cruiser. It is completely original with stock everything. It has minimal rust; the only rust is on the back quarter panels. The engine is also stock and it runs great. I drive it to school and back everyday, as well as...

I am selling my '73 FJ40 Cruiser. It is completely original with stock everything. It has minimal rust; the only rust is on the back quarter panels. The engine is also stock and it runs great. I drive it to school and back everyday, as well as work. I currently have it listed on eBay, but I am...

Thanks for the replies. I haven't found the problem yet on account of school and money, but at least now I have a decent idea of where to start.

Whenever I turn on my high beams on my '73 FJ40, I'll be driving along and suddenly the driver side light will start to cut on and off. I have checked the wiring and nothing is wrong in any way. Any ideas?

I already have dual inline filters. what's happening is the s*** is getting clogged in the lines and the filters aren't getting any fuel to filter :eek:

Ok, I have a '73 FJ40 with original gas tank and fuel lines. Recently, my fuel lines and filters have been clogging up with trash (mostly rust) and it get's really annoying when you're out with the guys tearing the rocks up and suddenly you can't go anywhere without someone towing you... My...

Ok, to clear up the bit about my saying it whines, what I meant was you can audibly tell that the engine has reached its RPM limit. I can hit 60 no prob, but on the highway everything is 70 and my cruiser just can't do that very easily. I want to put disc brakes on all 4 wheels and definitely...
