    Carburetor Rebuilt - Bogging and back-firing

    Hey all, quick update - took the carb back to my rebuild guy and he hooked it up and ran fine. So, left off the gasket at the top of the insulator, made sure the bolts were torque to spec, cap'd the dizzy and advanced the timing and well it runs good. I need to tune it but am happy the stutter...

    Carburetor Rebuilt - Bogging and back-firing

    @Pin_Head It will run with mixture screw all the way in. I used two dry gaskets on each side of the insulator. Is there an easy way to see if I have a leak here? Thanks for the help.

    Carburetor Rebuilt - Bogging and back-firing

    @stoshzack - How can I tell if I have a vacuum advance? I believe it was swapped out by prior owner since it came with an extra dizzy. And I added a Pertronix ignition a couple years ago. Just want to triple check my vacuum connections and where I need to cap. Thanks for all the help

    Carburetor Rebuilt - Bogging and back-firing

    Hi all, I verified timing is set to 650 and 7 degrees BTDC. Mixture and fast idle speed also properly adjusted. Vacuum also confirmed to be good. Starting to wonder if something has went wrong with the carb rebuild as none of these symptoms were present - backfires at the carb, hesitation and...

    Carburetor Rebuilt - Bogging and back-firing

    ok so I think I corrected the vacuum lines as seen in pix. The one next to the idle is now going to the dizzy. I also checked the timing and it was off. So I advanced it a bit and it does run better - issue is it sputters at low but cleans out mid to high load. Going to advance the timing to...

    New Fuel Pump leaking from the weep holes - 1970 FJ40 (early model)

    Hey all, wondering if there are options to address the leaking from the weep holes at the bottom of the fuel pump? It is aftermarket - should I replace with OEM or rebuild the one that was on it?

    Brakes on 1970 FJ40

    Hey all, I just replaced my front brake pads and master cylinder in hopes of addressing my brakes needing pumping before they would engage. I have bled them twice but yet it still needs pumping to stop. There is not leakage on any of the wheel cylinders. Any suggestions?

    1970 FJ40 - Brake lights out

    A few days after my hazards stopped working I noticed my brake lights are not working now. The running lights and turn signals all work fine. I do not see a switch under the brake petal and not sure if it had a factory one. All fuses are fine - just wondering if there is something I'm...

    Ignition left on overnight - would this fry a crane fireball?

    Hi all, after leaving the ignition on overnight the battery was dead. After recharging the truck will not start / spark. Do I need this Fireball or can I wire the Coil straight into the Distributor? What is the point of this Fireball anyway? It is so hot to the touch, I'm not sure I have it...

    1970 FJ40 Front Heater Hose Direction

    I decided to remove my rear heater and replace the front heater hoses and want to make sure I have them connected properly - if this even matters? How I have it now: While looking towards the engine the outer hose on the heater goes to the lower radiator connector and the rear inner hose on...

    No spark after new xr700 install - 1970 FJ40

    I need help with wiring up a new crane ignition - it worked fine until I wired the new one. It has a ceramic resistor and tried starting with and without this resistor and still won't fire. My wiring must be wrong?
