Bought 8m x1/25 bolts at Home Depot and they are too big. My rig hasn't had a skid plate on it for quite some time (don't know how long) and there is a fair amount of rust built up. Also looks like one bolt has sheered off and part of it is still in there. I'll try and back it out and if...

Thanks roma!

Does anyone know what size bolt is used to hold the transfer case skid plate to the frame of a 79 FJ40? asked SOR but they couldn't tell me. I could buy them from sor but the shipping costs more than the bolts. Would like to get the same bolt locally.

Put in a accelerator pump diaphragm and she runs like a top. Will consider a rebuild soon. For now, I'm going to enjoy my ride.

Sarge, thanks for the advice. I'm wondering if i should just get a new carb for $200-$250? I believe the carb is 5yrs old. Your thoughts.

Thanks mags for your time and insightful comments. Looks like i have a 32/36. i think a total rebuild will be the best choice.

Also, I don't know how to tell if its a 38 or a 32/36. Can anyone help me with that? Its an electric choke.

Thanks txnight. Weber Sarge. I've only noticed it leaking while its idling. The leak is slow. The drop forms at he bottom of the Accelerator pump. I'm guessing (only guessing) the accelerator pump diaphragm has degraded and that's what is causing the leak. If that is the source of my...

My Webber 38 carb has two issues. It's leaking from the accelerator pump. Is this a "common" problem? Could it be a bad diaphragm? Also, the electronic choke spring isn't functioning. Recommendations on best replacement parts? Thanks.

Hey, can I pick up those hood and windshield hold downs when I pick up the skid plate? Text me when its convenient to pick them up. Thanks.

beno, micruz60, forgive the dumb question. Why do I need that little hose? Can't I just use one hose running from the WP to the oil cooler?

Ok, new WP + gaskets, new thermostat + gaskets, and all new hoses ordered. I confess that I was so excited when I bought the rig I didn't look as closely as I could/should have at it. There are a few things that aren't quite OEM under the hood. That' will drive me nuts! So I'll be doing a...

micruz60, I didn't notice the WP leading (weep hole) before the coolant hose blowout. Wondering if there is a cause & affect connection.

micruz60, Hose clamp now tight but noticed a small leak coming from the weep hole on the water pump. This could actually been my problem all along as the weep hole leaks down to where the suspected loose hose clamp is located. Its not leaking a ton, just a steady little stream trickling...

micruz60, we'll do. Hope to post some pics this week of the process as I dive in. Wish me luck. Thanks again for your help.
