    2f starts, but won't run

    Fuel level is slightly above the centerline of the sight glass. There is a solenoid, but the connector doesn't match the harness, so I have to install a jumper. As to the rest, I have another project that requires my attention for the next few days. I'll post back when I'm able to get back to...

    Maybe, but the bowl is full, so even if the pump wasn't supplying fuel, it should at least start.

    No, we've gone from "start, runs a few seconds, then dies" to "cranks, but doesn't start".

    The new carb is a chinesium Aisin clone. It is the correct carb, and the mixture settings weren't changed from "as assembled". Yes, the carb is installed correctly, with all connections secured.

    2f starts, but won't run

    I actually swapped the carb; it was easier than dealing with with a rebuild (at the time). I filled the bowl with known good fuel, to prime it, prior to cranking, to remove the "bad fuel" possibility. There's at least enough fuel in the bowl to start and run, until the float falls. Still no...

    2f starts, but won't run

    I don't think it's an ignition problem; the engine starts, runs for a few seconds, and then dies, and won't restart for several minutes. But I'll check the ballast, just to cross that off the list. Maybe it's shorting as it warms up.

    It will not continue to run after it starts. I'm thinking carb adjustments are pretty low on the list, to be honest.

    Starts, runs (as it's supposed to, actually sounds good) and then dies. Needs the full choke and foot-on-floor to start, but idles then dies - just like it runs out of gas.

    Oddly enough, that's an appropriate suggestion. Have we met?

    It's stock. Thanks for the advice. Your thoughts confirmed what I could remember, back when I had a 40.

    :rofl: Yes, 1977, not the desirable, but very hard to find 1997 FJ40. It's not here; it's down the raod. I'm going to look at it tonight and see if I can wave a magic wand over it.

    EDIT: yes, that was supposed to read "1977" I have a 1997 FJ40 that I'm trying to get to run, after allowing it to sit for a couple of months. It ran when it was stored. The engine turns over, catches and runs for a couple of crank rotations, and then stops. There is also a very rich smell...
