    Now that sounds like some pretty interesting advice. I was under the impression that expedition drivers and folks wandering the outback frequently removed EDICs simply because it's something prone to failure and more complicated than necessary. I had ASSumed that no harm would come from such a...

    Been out for a bit, but wanted to thank you guys for the last replies. Still trying to get everything smooth, but have been consumed with other projects for the time being. Thanks...

    Agreed. No input on running MMO, but I've definitely used it to free stuck cylinders before. Works good for that in my experience. As an additive, well......

    Mechanic in Northern New Mexico

    I know what you're saying Eric, just hoping there's someone decent around to keep me headed in the right direction. I'm comfortable with lots of stuff, and just a bit apprehensive about IP timing. Thanks for the ideas, Dan. I'll look into that. Any other ideas?

    Thanks again, guys. My understanding is that I should be able to see air when I bleed the fuel system if air is the problem. Right? Timing is certainly a possibility, IP timing. I'm a bit apprehensive about tackling that one. I have a fair amount of experience working on motors, but like to...

    Mechanic in Northern New Mexico

    Hey all, my initial experiences as a fresh Toyota Diesel owner are recounted here. Things are improving for me, but I'd really like to locate a diesel mechanic with a good reputation so that I can have someone with more know-how than me take a look at what I've got. The board is very helpful...

    California to Tierra del Fuego... in a 40?

    amaurer, I did two months over this past winter in Mexico and Guatemala by motorcycle. Two months was too short for that. Nothing I wanted to do more than keep heading down to South America, but I wouldn't do it without 6 months minimum. If time is a constraint, maybe consider enjoying Mexico...

    I just checked autometer's website for dealers in my region. Then I had a local shop order it for me, even though it cost $12 bucks more than buying online cause, well, I like to buy stuff from local businesses. The kit I ordered costs $162. Steep, considering that I'm probably a couple years...

    Jump on in, Tapage! Wish I knew what to tell you about your HAC. I do recall seeing threads on here that say it's not ideal to remove it, but I'll be damned if I can remember why. My status: New fuel and air filters = seemingly smoother idle, but that's about it, not change to the smoking...

    OK, that's what I was guessing. Not saying I'm going to do anything crazy, but clockwise should = less fuel, right? Bwa ha ha ha!

    Hey, thanks! I am quite sure that I've got a 13B, but I suppose there's no reason to assume it has the stock injector pump :eek:

    Rosco, That makes good sense. I'm sourcing new air and fuel filters right now. I still haven't found a good recommendation on a diesel mechanic in, um, New Mexico. I guess I'll take a look at the condition of the nozzles and see if I can source some new ones. From reading through the...

    Smokin' Sputterin' Newbie

    I appreciate you helping me think critically about this, amaurer. Basically the elevation change is making me consider that, whatever other issues I may have, I likely need to dial back the fuel. I have less air available to the engine where I live at 7500 and so less fuel would provide a better...

    I'd love to locate my fuel adjustment screw.... Can anyone help based on these pictures? Thanks, guys
  17. S

    Smokin' Sputterin' Newbie

    Thanks for the replies, guys. It starts right up so far and is an inline pump. I've downloaded the manuals and taken a look. Is the fuel adjustment screw called the "full load stopper" in the manual? This is the only adjustment that appears to control injection volume. Also, I've bled the fuel...

    Hey all, Great forum here, genuinely first class with a wealth of info. I've learned so much already that I just put in for a star to support the site. I've got a 1981 BJ41 that just came into my possession. Real pretty, real exciting, real fun to drive....or....I think it could be fun to...
