That’s me! Glad you got it going man. I need to actually measure my paperclip movement - I’ve had a larger clip on in the past and it always ends up sideways from hitting nearby things on its way back down.

I couldn't for the life of me understand why one worked and one didn't. I did the exact same procedure and made sure all the vacuum sources in both Venturis were clear. Once reassembled, I even sprayed carb cleaner through the vac port where the diaphragm bolts on to make sure it was flowing...

Another interesting addition I found - once the secondary actually started working for me, I found the secondary fuel cut valve finally started leaking after years of laying dry and dormant - that was a clue that I was on the right track and fuel was actually flowing into the slow jet of the...

I've fought this a lot the last year or so as well. I tried multiple carbs, multiple springs, multiple diaphragms. What I finally found that worked was a specific carb set to the FSM recommended kick up and primary contact angles, adjusting the two tabs you mentioned above. Funny enough, I did...

I’ve read all the threads on this - curious on your opposition to VR1 nowadays that it’s been reformulated. Castrol Classics is unobtanium where I live it seems, and VR1 is available and relatively cheap.

Yes, I know. A million threads about this one. I’ve dove into every thread under the sun, and taken all the necessary steps to troubleshoot, but I cannot for the life of me get the vacuum actuated secondary to pull open on my carb. Here’s what I’ve done: Rebuilt carb New diaphragm (Napa 24093)...

Awesome, sounds great. Have you managed to do a compression test on the cylinders? Would like to know where they're at before going any further. Also curious what your timeline for pulling the motor might look like. I could definitely make my way down there in the next month or so. Thanks!!

Interested in this! How much oil does it burn though? Bottom end in good shape? I’m in Nashville, could potentially meet somewhere if you’re game.

How long are the bars? Would you ship?

Have the power steering box? In Nashville.

12. Sorry, didn’t know there were two sizes!

Quite a few of my valve adjustment screws have the lock nut seized, making fine adjustment of the valves impossible. Looking to see if anyone has some laying around rather than paying $8 per from Toyota.

Here’s my (warmed) compression test numbers from today… 1: 170 2: 165 3: 163 4: 163 5: 165 6: 175 Does this tell you anything that cyl 6 is much higher than all the others?

Out of curiosity, who is doing the work on your motor! Another Nashville guy here and curious who works on cruisers around here.

I have done a full Desmog, manifold gaskets, carb rebuild, valve adjustment, timing, rotor, cap and wires with new gapped plugs. Fresh fuel tank with a clean filter. New charcoal canister. Any chance this would be a result of too far advanced timing? I’m right at 10* and no HAC.
