    2F Crank Pulley Questions

    Can you measure it with a tape? An impact drill would be best to use. I think the torque spec is 130 ft lbs. With your spark plugs in it wont turn as easily either.

    Two Questions If I May - 2F Engine

    I didnt realize that it was a fresh rebuild being broke in. I might be wrong about the spark….. I did some research and found this fron an old haynes manual. It doesnt seem to be that far of a stretch to think ignition problems. Very simple and easy to check though. Sometimes the simple gets...

    Two Questions If I May - 2F Engine

    Do you have a good strong spark? weak ignition will cause plugs to get dry sooty deposits on them. Is your carb burning rich? That could also be the culprit. Make sure your air filter is clean as well. All simple things to check. Good luck tracking down the problem.

    Chassis Rivits? How do I get the friggers out?

    You can also try heat. But if the hammer dont work get a bigger hammer. lol They are a bugger sometimes. Make sure you ground enough off. Wait a minute….. I re-read your post. Are you taking the steering box mount off? I assume the steering box is off(4 bolts). The mount has rivits on the top...

    Adjusting fast idle on fj40

    I think this is what you have. http://shop.cruiserparts.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=33997 Kind of looks to me that the adjustment screw is behind the spring in the pic but not certain.

    78 FJ40 Taillight wiring

    New wire and good grounds go a long way. Definitely a good thing to upgrade if it is in bad shape.

    Two Questions If I May - 2F Engine

    I think that it is an ignition problem for sure. Your compression is okay and the plugs dont seem to be oily or wet. My guess is that your valves will be fine. :cool: Good luck to you.

    Output shaft nut

    In your third pic it looks as though there is a lot of room for a socket. Silly question but is the socket the right size? I think mine is 32mm.

    Two Questions If I May - 2F Engine

    Not sure but at 70º ambient temp it would be warm enough to be open. Oil coming out of your manifold would indicate an issue. Start with a compression test.

    MOCONative, I would be interested in pics of what you dai as I plan on doing it to mine. I just finished swapping a '73 1f out with a '75 2f motor. The 40 was from california. Sorry for the hijack.

    Adjusting fast idle on fj40

    For a 2f carb you want to pull out your choke to the fully closed position. The clearance from your choke valve to bore should be 1.3mm or 0.051 inches. I hope this helps.
