turned out it was a bad connection to the idle solenoid. The original bullet connector just needed to be unplugged and re-plugged.
I thought I was hearing the idle solenoid click but it turned out to be a relay I have that powers an "ign on" accessory fuse block.
This has mechanical secondary. holding foot down to keep secondary didnt work, I had to keep pumping the throttle.
it was definitely not flooding.
If it was just idle solenoid only idle would be affected. In my case it won't run unless the throttle is being "pumped" constantly.
This is all...
I made it home last night by continuously rapidly feathering the gas pedal, I think because that was causing the acc pump to squirt fuel.
Is there a place in the carb that could become blocked and affect both idle and main circuit but not accelerator pump? I could only find a 2F flow diagram...
It will only run when accelerator pump is pumping fuel now
Normally would be something to check but I replaced it recently and float bowl is at appropriate level when this is occurring.
40 started stumbling while driving city roads at 40ish mph.
Engine starts easily and will stay running only if I continuously feather the pedal. Fuel level in float bowl is correct.
It’s the original Aisan @FJ40Jim rebuilt for me 16 years ago on the original 1.5F
Maybe trash blocking the...
