    I hope that someone may have some advice to help me with this problem. 1984 FJ45 with just 30,000 miles that has not run in 7 years. Recently I managed to get it to start and was very pleased. But when I tried to reverse it out of the barn, it would not go into reverse. It just made grating...

    This is a European 1984 model which has a different distributor. Thanks but I can obtain the points and condenser locally and hopefully will get it to run.

    FJ45. Ignition coil is good but no spark?

    Thanks for your comments. The points are badly burnt. Cranked the engine by hand and the points do not open completely. Contact still between the points at all times. Have ordered new points and condenser.

    FJ45. Ignition coil is good but no spark?

    Thanks for your further advice. As regards no spark at HT lead, I removed lead from distributor, placed a split pin into end and held it a couple of mm from the cylinder head and had someone turn the ignition to start for a couple of seconds but no spark. I am satisfied that the coil is giving...

    Hi , thanks for your reply. I would appreciate it if you could please explain how I should go about checking the grounds properly. Thanks again.

    FJ45. Ignition coil is good but no spark?

    Thank you for that suggestion. I have never taken off the distributor off but I have some manuals so I will follow them. Would you suggest that I take all of the HT leads off to make it easier to get the distributor cap off to get at the points? Thanks

    Hi, I wonder if someone may be able to suggest a safe simple rigid towing arrangement for a non-running BJ40. I can have a person steer the non-running cruiser.

    How do i stop rear drive shaft rotating

    Hi Dyno, Thanks for that suggestion, I will check to see if the transfer case is in neutral, if not I will put it in neutral and try to see if that will stop the driveshaft from turning. That should make it easier to toe. Thanks

    How do i stop rear drive shaft rotating

    Hi JohnnyC, the drive shaft has not been removed from either cruiser. As I mentioned both cruisers are on blocks and when I rotate the rear wheel by hand on one of the cruisers the driveshaft rotates and on the other cruiser the driveshaft does not rotate. I thought there may be a simple reason...

    How do i stop rear drive shaft rotating

    Hi Fast Eddy, thanks for your reply. I have not checked that there is gear oil in both. But why would this make a difference to weather the drivehaft would turn or not when the rear wheel is turned by hand? Regards.

    Hi John Smith, thanks again for your reply. John, I did nor remove the driveshaft from either cruiser. They are both connected. On one cruiser when I spin the rear wheel the driveshaft rotates and on the other cruiser it does not rotate.
