    Odometer fix question for early 72 FJ40 - FIXED!

    I read through the odometer clean / fix threads here in the FAQ and ran into an issue trying to do mine. While the examples in the FAQ had what look like plastic housings and clips to hold the rod / digits /gears in place, mine seems to be a solid cast metal one piece frame and no way I can see...

    Hard Start 72 FJ40. Could use some guidance

    Wow, thank you - Like I said earlier, carbs confuse me and can't believe it was that simple... Seems the choke plate would never close completely, maybe only 60%. Somehow its getting hung up, tight, maybe just age and grime. The linkage adjusts with the choke cable properly and if its pulled all...

    Hard Start 72 FJ40. Could use some guidance

    I'll give that a shot - also re-read the PO's bill from the carb rebuild; the $340 was just the labour, plus $77 for a carb kit and another $33 for a float - so $450 all-in. ouch...

    Hard Start 72 FJ40. Could use some guidance

    Also, I did verify the date code on the carb is 2D so the same month (April) and year (1972) as the data plate of the FJ40 so believe this to be the original / correct carb. I have paperwork from the PO the carb was rebuilt / overhauled to the tune of $340 in January of 2013, but was done at a...

    Hard Start 72 FJ40. Could use some guidance

    OK, thanks for the suggestion. Needed a shot of carb cleaner (since it still won't start on it's own) but it started OK with a little spray, then I let it warm up, made sure the choke all the way off and there is no spray at idle / about 625 RPM. If I press on the accelerator linkage I can see...

    Hard Start 72 FJ40. Could use some guidance

    So, my early (April) 1972 FJ40 has a hard start issue and would appreciate some guidance for next steps. Short problem explanation is: I have to crank the engine excessively, 8 to 12 times or more, for 10 to 15 seconds each before I get a little ‘rump-rump; and again several more times before it...

    First Post - Help validate thinking on a disk brake upgrade

    Appreciate the info - I know what they say about people who assume, but I did assume everything in 76 FJ40 was 4:11... Maybe a bad assumption? I just ran out to the garage and checked it as 1 complete wheel revolution is 2 and a tad extra on the pinion shaft. 2 complete wheel revolutions...

    First Post - Help validate thinking on a disk brake upgrade

    The 76 axle is 30 splines at the hub. I think my original 72 has like 6. I'd prefer to go with the 30 so I have a better choice of locking hubs and replacement parts. I think I can swap the 76 knuckles and axles to my original housing with some grinding?? Back to the FAQ...

    First tech post here and wanted to validate my thinking on a front disk brake upgrade for my 04/72 FJ40 (bought here on MUD a few months ago; Thanks MIKKELSEN!) – While pouring through the FAQ here for front disk upgrade options, I stumbled on a complete hub to hub disk brake front axle from a...
