    1979 FJ40 won't start - Process of elimination to get it going

    Appreciate the help! I did give the carb a little love. Purchased a rebuild kit and replaced a couple gaskets, accelerator pump plunger, etc. I still have a semi loose stud that cause a bit of an whining/air leak (will fix that eventually, but after installing the HEI and tinkering with some...

    1979 FJ40 won't start - Process of elimination to get it going

    D.U.I. successfully installed. Now getting spark, but still not firing. Poured fuel into the carb with positive results (firing momentarily, but not running consistently), but the throttle pump (?) on the cab doesn't seem to be feeding fuel into the carb... Needless to say at this point it's a...

    1979 FJ40 won't start - Process of elimination to get it going

    Semi-new FJ40 owner here. I have a 1979 FJ40 with a rebuilt 2F. I've had it for around 4 months and have used it as a daily driver with no issues. Dropped the kids at school yesterday and pulled in the driveway. Went to start it up later in the day and it won't turn over. I've checked the...
