    fusible link

    The Toyota guys told me they could get me one but it was in the $80 range so I just soldered in some new wires. I'm sure I'm running a risk of the fuse not operating properly but that's just how I roll. 6 years no problems.

    Plenty of spark, plenty of fuel, no fire

    HA! It was the choke plates. Somehow they really closed up tight overnight and got stuck in place. I'm still running the stock exhaust manifold with the MAF Weber kit and the billet adapter conducts all the heat up to the Carb. I'm thinking the heat caused the aluminum to swell, then...

    Thanks for the tips guys I'll be going back through everything today.

    Plenty of spark, plenty of fuel, no fire

    Yeah the timing is good. The air is the part I might be missing. Should the choke be shut air tight when it's 90 degrees outside?

    Plenty of spark, plenty of fuel, no fire

    I went to start her up today and she sputtered a bit and then I thought I heard a "poof" sound under the hood right around the coil. On the second try I again got a slight start then a "poof" from under the hood. It's a sound I've never heard in all of 7 years with the rig. Now, 4 hours...

    What are my options for doubling down?

    Might I suggest an alternative to mechanical downshifting: 205/40 R15s-- they would certainly slow you down and would only cost a couple hundred bucks!

    Erratic idle and motor knocking after carb rebuild

    If you've got everything hooked up right it should look like this: Just teasing, good luck!

    The Racing UZJ60 in car

    These are my favorite videos! Two questions about the truck: 1. Did they install a rear sway bar for more stability? 2. I noticed the spring setup is mostly stock, what kind of shocks is the truck running?

    starting troubles

    That was my exact problem when my fusible link was fried. Essentially, you're driving without an alternator so every time you use a blinker or start your rig you're sucking the battery dry without putting anything back. As I said before, you'll think it's the alternator but it's really the...

    2nd Barrel not opening!!!

    Nevermind:rolleyes:. Ten minutes after I posted that last one I got a knock at the door and it was the FedEx guy with my Weber 38. MAF said they'd call and confirm before sending it due to backorder issues at which time I was going to cancel but I guess they changed their minds. Since I'm...

    Vacuum Leak Crosshairs

    I was having the same problems as you, Crack--including the money issues! Incidentally, last week I pulled the carb, intake, and exhaust manifolds and replaced the manifold gasket just as Hank is prescribing. I cleaned the carb with gasoline and a brush, cleaned the intake manifold (mainly...

    2nd Barrel not opening!!!

    New version of the same problem. I recently pulled the carb and cleaned it throughly, installed a new secondary diaghram, and threw on a new F series manifold gasket while I was at it. The carb is working awesome--the other day I hit 80MPH GPS speed on the freeway for the first time but...

    Desmog question

    I wouldn't overthink the egr blockoff...but since you're asking: I'm with Bandy--I've had to deal with the weakness of AL on bicycle and motorcycle parts where the tradeoff in strength was worth the weight savings, but I think an exhaust part needs to be about maintaining a tight seal over...

    Tuning and Timing ?

    I've been messing with my timing for a couple months now and it seems like the more I retard it (I think it's retarding it--as I move it the idle drops) towards TDC the more low end grunt it has. I probably have it at halfway between the bb and the line right now and it's running awesome. I...

    That's a nice series of pics! Yeah those push straps only seem to work right straight out of the package then they're really only good for pulling.

    Oh wait your backup lights are on, you're the one doing the towing! My bad. There's still a tire spinning and one stationary--were you just proving your manliness by doing it unlocked;)?

    Hey Brit I may have missed something but I thought you were locked!? What's with you spinning a tire and being towed in that one pic?

    Old Fuel conundrum

    Sure, just pour it right into the strom drain:hillbilly:. I want to live in your neighborhood, oil changes would be so much easier!

    Effect of weight of rim on top speed and consumption.

    I know that in professional cycling, mere grams shaved from wheels is always preferred to saving the same amount or even more weight from the frame. So in a theoretical sense you might have a case. In real terms, I'm gonna go with what the others have already stated. However; using the...
