Replace fuel filter. Could be an array of other things but when mine did that, 90% of the time is was the filter.

Check the oil weights. 80w-90 of I remember correctly. I always used the 140 weight

Maintenance, Maintenance, Maintenance. Look to see if the owner looked after the vehicle and if he kept records of it. After that: cold and warm start ease. Smoke from exhaust. Remove oil cap when running, check for blowby. Check fluid levels. Check for leaks under vehicle and on top. Chassis...

I use wet newspaper, and force it in.

Use original petrol tank cap. There is a vent hose under the vehicle next to the tank, it breaks off front the frame and clogs, check that. Also check all vent hoses to charcoal canisters.

These catch cans can cause a build up of crankcase pressure, and cause your issues. Find your piping diagram and put it back to stock.

Check for pinhole leaks in the fuel line.

Aaah, good point, radiator could have been moved. Steering on the 75 uses universals, so could handle a 2 inch lift.

Then get the origional body mounts and replace the extended ones that are currently there. The biggest issue you will have, (besides the absolute pain in the ass), is the piping and extentions made for the lift, but this is usually an issue when lifting, not lowering. The 75 body is in three...

Have someone check it out. If ok, install rock steps

Yes correct, if you go oversized you don't need to worry about mark 1. Check small ends now, they were a bitch to find for me, lucky mine were still good. Replace valve guides, I didn't and paid for it. Heat up pistons to 82 degrees to get gudgeon pin in and out, otherwise you damage pistons...

According to the system, your engine number requires mark 1.

Loooool. Cheers
