    Carb Flooding????

    Factory headers. I installed a bigger gas tank that's up under the bed. It is vented with what the supplier provided but I'm not sure that's not the issue. What did you do to correct the improperly vented gas tank?

    Carb Flooding????

    My FJ is a 73 model w/a 2F engine. I'm not familiar with this fan u speak of. I have heard of vapor lock. I had a mechanic friend of mine suggest that I open the gas cap for a few minutes before restarting. What suggestions do you have for this issue?

    Carb Flooding????

    It appears to be only at restart. The other day after I got it started at the gas station I drove it about three times that far before I turned it off again. Same thing that time too. It set for about 10 - 15 minutes and I had trouble starting it up, cranked on it for about 5 minutes off and...

    Carb Flooding????

    Here's my current issue. My 40 starts right up first time no problems. The issue is after I drive it for a while. Anything over 10 minutes or so, turn off the engine and try to fire it back up after a few minutes of setting. For instance, just 2 days ago I drove it to the nearest gas station...

    No low beam on P. Side

    73 model - FJ40 with 2F engine. No Low beam P side headlight. However I do have a High beam headlight on the P side but not near as strong as the D side. Also I've checked the voltage on both wires when the switch is on. Voltage reads 7. 60 on High beam for both D/P sides but the voltage on...

    Brakes locked up??????

    UPDATE... I replaced the rubber hoses, calipers and pads but still had locking brakes. I then shortened the length of the push rod inside the brake booster to nearly all the way in and finally solved the problem. Brakes work flawlessly now. Hallelujah

    Brakes locked up??????

    Yes, when I loosen the hard line going into the MC the brakes loosen up. I have done a check on my old calipers and looks like the pistons are seized. I've decided to replace the calipers and rubber brakes hoses on both sides. While removing one of my rubber hoses I snapped a hard line on the...

    Brakes locked up??????

    Removed the residual valve from the MC - picture below and bleed down the front brake lines again. Jacked up the front end to check brakes and they’re still grabbing after a few presses.

    Brakes locked up??????

    Yes the 40 has been running and driving fine but needed some new brakes. Yes I'm assuming, I installed the same MC the PO had on it. It has 2 reservoirs marked F & R. (F) The front one, the biggest reservoir supplies the disc brakes up front. Correct?

    Brakes locked up??????

    The new MC was bench bleed before installing. The brakes lines were bleed from far-near the MC. The push rod has been adjusted in and out several times but doesn't seem to make any difference. DO you have the spec for the push rod? Also there is a valve on each wheel on the front disc brakes.

    Brakes locked up??????

    No the rubber brake lines were not replaced but looks like a good place to start. Because fluid comes out but little or no return which is keeping the brakes engaged. This seems to get worse the more times the brake pedal gets pushed until the brakes finally completely lock. Another tid bit to...

    Brakes locked up??????

    We've adjusted out and in on the push rod multiple times doesn't seem to make any difference. Do you know the spec for the push rod?

    Brakes locked up??????

    First off I have a 73 FJ40. It has disc brakes on the front and drums on the back. Just had new brakes installed-new calipers, pads and rotors for the front and drums and cylinders for the rear. Still have original brake lines and brake booster. After installing everything and getting fluid to...

    New FJ40 owner needs some advice..

    Awesome finally some relatively good news. It is one of the top bolts>>>One question, will I have to take the plate completely off the engine to extract the broken bolt?

    New FJ40 owner needs some advice..

    Thanks for the suggestions...I'll try to keep you updated. Mean time another self imposed issue I have to deal with is I twisted off a bolt in the engine block of my 2F trying to find the perpetrator to a small oil leak. Suggestions on how to fix this mess? The bolt is one of the small bolts...
