There is indeed a spring under the plunger but when all hope seemed lost I finally discovered what the issue was. The plunger that came with the rebuild kit was a bit shorter than the original. I put the old one back on and works great now. At first glance they look the same size but setting...

Thanks G-man! looking over it again, it seems I am missing a washer on the bottom. Going to soak the plunger and add a washer and I should be good to go!

Awesome, thanks for the help!

I believe it was a red leather type plunger.. and I bet that's my problem right there! Geez :( I'm still learning all this and guess I skipped over that step of lubing it. It seemed great when I first put it back together but it must have got a little sticky in the hole! Do you think it would be...

Hey Fellers, I rebuilt the carb on my 87 LC a few weeks ago and took it for a spin/stumble around the block and barely made it back. While looking it over I noticed the lever for the accelerator pump plunger doesn't move up with the rod when throttle is pressed. It takes about 5 seconds for the...

Awesome, I guess ill go with the new one and as OSS stated "No harm in trying it". If it doesn't work then hey.. what's another week waiting for more parts to arrive :bounce: Thanks guys! :beer:

Perhaps I should take out the word "simple" from the title lol. I agree it's probably pressure related. I was having issues with the fuel bowl filling up and on the rare occasions that it does the fuel level would be right in the middle of the sight glass but drain out completely if left...

I'm rebuilding my aisan carb on my '87 fj60 and I noticed the needle seat in the rebuild kit doesn't have holes like the original. Should I use the old seat and new needle or would the new seat without the holes be okay. Not sure what the holes are even for. Any help would be greatly...

Maybe one day I'll have a shop like that too

Awesome! Thank you. Looking thru previous threads some say it was the top some say it is the bottom one.

Hello fellow cruisers! I'm new here and recently purchased a '87 FJ60. Will somebody confirm which line is the main fuel line. The top or bottom hard line running back to the tank? I had the LC shipped to a nearby parking lot and drove it about 5 miles back to the house. It ran pretty rough...
