You need the governor cover gasket because you need to put the diaphragm into the cover then hook the diaphragm to the connecting bolt before bolting the cover on. You should see less smoke, somewhat improved fuel milage, and lower idle rpms after changing the diaphragm.
It sounds to me like your governor diaphragm is ruptured. I have changed 3 or 4 since I bought my 1979 BJ40 . It is not necessary to remove or make any adjustments to the pump. It is awkward and you need to take care. Study your parts diagram and if possible use the factory service manual. It...
I suggest you get your battery tested. One check you can do yourself is check the voltage of the battery after it has sat overnight. It should be above 12 volts. If it is down around 11 volts you probably have a dead or dying cell. If the battery can be serviced check the fluid level. If the top...
That new fan clutch looks like an improvement over the original, but your fan blades are not supposed to look like that. Yours look as if they have been cooked - what is that black near the blade roots ? The fancy curves in the ends of the blades are not stock. I can't be sure, but it looks to...
I have owned 3 LandCruiser 40s (FJ40, BJ40 (which I still have), BJ42 (also still have) and all of them had high clutch engagement. The FJ40 and BJ40 were fresh off the showroom floor. This has never caused a problem other than the embarrassment of stalling someone else's vehicle because their...
My general rule of thumb is dial in the hubs at your last pavement rest stop. To go from 2hi to 4hi, just pull the tcase lever from 2 to 4 while moving. If the lever doesn't want to move, try backing off and getting on the gas pedal. To shift from low to high range and vice-versa requires the...
I Had an 18 gallon aux tank in my 76 fj40. It was plumbed so it had a ball valve for on/off as did the stock 12 gallon tank, both valves fueled the carburetor through a T. The rest of the fuel system was left stock. The operational procedure was fill both tanks, open the valve from the stock...
24V light bulbs, other than the double filament bulbs (headlight, stop/tail lights) should also be available at your nearest airport that has a maintenance shop or an aircraft parts jobber.
Also, aircraft landing & taxi lights make very bright off-road lights. I have a taxi light bulb from an...
Kinda hard to tell from your photo, but it looks like the hose may have just come off the nipple, you may need to put it back on and secure it with a hose clamp.
As for the steering damper , all I can suggest is keeping it soaked in penetrating oil for a couple of weeks then trying again. If your hammer won't work try an impact hammer. It looks like you have already started to flare the end of the pin so you will have to cut it off or grind off the flare...
The tube may have something to do with the stock carburetor. The original fuel system pumped the fuel with an edp (engine-driven pump) from the tank past the carburetor and back to the tank, there was a tap off to the carburetor that allowed it to draw what it needed from the fuel stream flowing...
As 65swb45 said, the cable does come all the way out of the housing. This is so a bad cable can be replaced if the housing is still good. If you pulled the end out far enough to chuck it in a drill you may have disengaged it from the speedometer, so the only way to be sure is to pull it all the...
Like Poser says, an emissions odometer. On my '76 it turned on an idiot light after x number of kilometers that told you to get the emissions systems serviced. When my speedo cable broke I got one from a different year that went direct from the output end of the T-case to the speedometer (there...
It's the same engine, so as far as fit goes, any vehicle differences should be bolt on parts, like mount brackets, bellhousing, etc. which could be swapped from the broken engine. This probably applies to any other accessories such as alternators and power steering pumps. Should not be too...
This is a stock factory rollbar. by narrow jump seats I think he means the ones that came stock with vehicles that came with this rollbar and they should fit.
You are right about the installation, the seats do not attach to the rollbar.
When my glow plug relay on my '79 BJ40 stuck I filed the points with a diamond nail file and then polished them with Crocus cloth. The relay has been perfectly fine since.
