    1976 Fj55 Fuel Tank Routing Question

    Cross Posted in the Fj55 Iron Pig forum— Does anyone know which tube is the supply line and which one is the return line on the front passenger side corner of the fuel tank of a 76 Fj55? This diagram shows the supply line is _probably_ the one further (p/n circled red) back but I wanted to...

    1976 fj55 rear hatch question

    Hello! Ive got a 76 fj55 and I can’t open the rear hatch. I took the rear panel off and see where the handle pulls the rods on each side—the mechanism is very rusty. I’m wondering how I could pop this open manually with a lever or screwdriver? I can get some movement on each side but not...

    Downey Carb Linkage

    Hello, I've got an Fj55 with a Downey carb. The cable linkage is something the PO set up with a spring, some wire, and zip ties. I'd like to get something together that's a little more reliable, LOL. Could anyone help me with the setup? Thanks! Kris

    What’s up with my ‘76 2f valve train?

    Hello! I picked up a 76 fj55 that was DOA and am resurrecting it from the dead (hopefully). I went to do valve adjustment and things are pretty wonky—almost like there aren’t any lifters present (see photos). Major gaps between the rocker arm and pushrods on several of them! Obviously it’s not...

    Ignition issues and mystery part ‘76

    Hello! I’m resurrecting a dead fj55 and found my igniter is bad. I also found this part and am not sure if the PO put a condenser on, or if this is a capcitor to keep the radio from buzzing. I’m assuming it goes to positive on the coil and then then to ground? Also, can I get a generic...

    1971 wiring question—mystery wire

    Hello— I’m working on the wiring for my ‘71. There is a RG female bullet that comes out of the harness, passenger side grommet, also where the GY/RW pair comes out and goes to the inspection plug. Any ideas? Thanks! Kris

    Where can I buy carb jets? 71 fj40

    Hello— My primary jet for my ‘71 from the SOR rebuild kit is 112–stock is 118 via the FSM. Would it make much difference if I changed? If so, where would you recommend getting another jet? I can’t seem to find a #100 drill bit to bore mine out. Thanks!

    Carb float issues ‘71

    Hello— I’m bringing back a rescued ‘71 40 from the dead. I’ve rebuilt my carb. Idle is beautiful, timing and points gap good etc. When I give it gas, it dies unless I pump it a little to work it back to idle. Currently undriveable. I’ve got way too much gas in the fuel bowl site—like it’s...

    1971 fj40 fan shroud question—

    Hello—my 71 fj40 came without a fan shroud. I had another which I -thought- was from a 71 but when installed the fan would not clear it. Does anyone have a pic of the correct shroud for a 71? Or have an extra one they’d want to sell me, lol. Thanks!

    1971 Aisin carburetor choke bushing loose-

    Hello— I am trying to resurrect a ‘71 fj40 that I picked up. The choke mechanism on the carb seems like it has a lot of play and I can’t get the plate to close when I pull on the choke. If I monkey with the mechanism it will finally snap closed. I’ve got a spare carb and it seems like the...

    1971 Fj40 carb solenoid wire question

    Hello— Doing some cleanup from the PO on my ‘71. I’m wondering what the stock wire color is from the wiring harness to the carb solenoid? It doesn’t seem to be in the wiring diagram. Currently, it is directly wired to a fuse on the panel, but it appears jerry-rigged by the PO. Thanks-

    Carb rebuild—another discharge weight question

    Hello— I’m rebuilding the carb on my ‘71. The discharge weight is missing and has been previously replaced with a spring. I see talk of modifying a bic pen spring (per JimC) but can’t find if there’s a specific way to do it on the forums. I checked a spare ‘71 carb and that didn’t have one...

    Wanted  Drivers seat for my '71 FJ40

    Hello, I recently bought a '71 project and someone mounted a non-stock seat on the drivers side. It's actually pretty comfy but I'd like to go back to the stock seat--I'm just checking to see if anyone has one available. Preferrably torn up to match the passenger portion of the 60/40, LOL. Thanks!

    Trans 4hi-4lo stiff-zerk stubborn

    Hello--I've got a stiff 4hi-4lo mechanism on my (new to me) '78. It was seized until I tapped it back and forth with some lubrication. I can move it back/forth now but still is very stiff. I can't get any grease into the zerk. I'm trying figure out how to remove the lever so I can clean things...
