    Leak between air horn and insulator

    Are there any tricks to getting the air horn to seal to the insulator and throttle body w/o any leaks? I didn't feel that my secondary was kicking in so I took off the diaphram and blew air into the hole and I could feel air come out directly below it between the air horn and insulator. I used...

    How does the secondary diaphram work?

    Does the secondary diaphram rod "pull" the secondary throttle plate open OR does it just allow the secondary to open via a spring load under vaccuum? Just wondering if mine is hooked up right, I can reach down there with the engine off and pull the rod freely without the secondary moving...

    Tiny O-Ring in Carb Rebuild Kit

    Anyone know what the tiny o-ring in the carb rebuild kit is for? There are 2 o-rings, 1 is for the sight glass but the other is very very small. Thought it was for the idle solenoid, but I'm not sure since it doesn't look exactly the same.

    Slow Jet Question

    Are all year carbs supposed to have different length primary and secondary slow jets? Mine are pretty much the same length and wonder if the PO did something wrong. It is an odd year carb (7/77) and has the semi electronic distributor, has an EGR, but no APC.

    carb question

    How many ball bearings are there in a stock 7/77 FJ40 carb? See pic, this is the upper air horn hole where the power piston goes and it appears there is a ball bearing in it, is that correct?

    Manifold warpage limit

    I'm mating a fj60 intake to my fj40 exhaust and one of my exhaust ports is higher than the matching intake port but within the 2mm fsm tolerance. 2mm seems pretty liberal, do you'all think I should have it machined or trust the 2mm max tolerance in the fsm? I'm already planning to use 2 gaskets...
