Oh, that would make total sense, but looking at pictures of the assembly, I do not think that will be possible.

@ceebs87BJ I made them myself. I had an original from the driver's side and test fit it to the passenger side. It was identical except for the steering box cutout. I then went to McMaster Carr and picked up neoprene material in 1/16 thickness and 50A tensile, medium hardness. Traced the...

Thanks @aztoyman. I would put a rope in to lessen the pressure on the head. I was just going to do the seals, not sure if the guides are worn. How can I tell? The truck only has 140k miles on it.

I would like to replace the valve seals on my 81 22R. I see that to remove the rocker arms to get at the valves, you remove the bolts that hold on the head. I would prefer not removing the head and having to mess with the gasket. It does not leak and if it isn't broke, don't fix it. So my...

Nice save! Good luck with the project. I have an 81 that I sort of "saved" that I am working on. Fun little trucks.

Finally got the new neoprene fender aprons installed and I think they turned out great. Also, fresh gear oil in transmission and front and rear differentials. Think I may put this up for sale soon. Too many other toys needing attention.

New windshield seal in and looking great!

I’ll definitely do that come Spring. So had a major win the last couple days. Got the nasty, hard windshield seal off and the windshield out. Turned out to be harder than I thought with the hard seal and gobs of adhesive. Very happy with the result. And had way better news than I expected. The...

Seafood... Now that is some funny autocorrect. Seafoam was put in the tank. @thetoyotaman I'll bet your suggestion of spraying carb cleaner or brake clean in that same port would have also done the trick. Well, at least I know what to be on the lookout for in the future. Sure is nice to...

I run premium fuel in the truck. It just seems to run better with it. Also, before I had this problem, I filled the tank and put Seafood in it for storage during the winter.

I probably should have taken photos of my progress, but was too wrapped up into it to think about that. I may do that later to show what I did to solve the issue.

OK guys, success! The truck runs great again. Starts quick and runs smooth. The solution turned out to be very simple as I suspected. I looked and looked at it today and talked through everything I have done. It did not make sense that the float bowl was not getting fuel. So I rigged up...

Thanks for the tips. I will not remove the glass cover based on your information. I might try applying suction from a vacuum to the inlet port on the carb to see if any debris comes out. Then try some carb cleaner through the same port. I studied the linkage mechanism on the back of the carb...

I don't think the fuel pump is overpowering the carb, but I only state that because the little Facet pump looks to have been on the truck for years. And I drove it all summer without issue. I think I have a fuel pressure gauge that I can install to check it. Or I can just try to bypass it...

Guys, thanks for taking the time to respond and the brain power. @aztoyman Yes, I get fuel to the area where the needle seat and screen are. The banjo fitting and bolt are all clear. I assume that the screen is attached to the needle seat by looking at the Asian carb diagram. Screen looks...
