This thread helped me out recently, so I just thought I would add that I found Aisin part# FCT-001 is an identical replacement for the fan clutch on my 1979 BJ-40, except that the shaft on it is a teensy bit longer. Apparently Aisin part# FCT-061 was the correct part, but no longer exists.
I...
I'm really stuck right now:
I bought the 35mm block heater, and I went for a (kinda-sorta) accessible freeze plug just aft of the injection pump on the driver's side.
I tapped on the freeze plug, but it went into the block, and while I can wiggle it around with my finger, I can't get it out...
Miles, I used the #3 line (3rd from the front) and it fit just fine. If you want I'll send you one of the others, but you'll have to bend it to fit. (#4 is probably going to be easiest to adapt. PM me your address.
I called EVERYWHERE locally (up to 2 hours away) and no one can do it. Several shops said that they used to make injector lines, but don't any more.
Thanks for the links, plan C is to order a straight piece online and try to bend it to fit, but those cost $100 or more.
Tomorrow I'm going to...
My 1979 BJ-40 (B Engine) - The number three injector line broke off at the flare on the injector pump end.
I drove it another several miles to civilization before I opened it up and saw what happened.
- I can't find a new injector line or anyone to make one for me, please help!
- Is there any...
1979 BJ-40 24v
They've been working fine for years, but a week ago (in cold weather) I noticed that the glow controller (little window with a resistor behind it) was taking too long to start glowing. Over the last week it's died a slow death until yesterday the glow was barely visible and today...
Where do I find a cable maker? I found a new cable and ends from a motorcycle shop that I'm going to solder together, but I have my doubts that it'll last.
Hi, I've got a 1979 BJ-40 left drive
And my accelerator cable broke.
Does anyone have a tip for where I can get a new one? SOR only lists them for different years or RHD, but I would think that they're the same part?
Thanks for any input!
Update:
I had it patched, then a few weeks later it was leaking again and the shop that did it wouldn't help me (Radiator Shop on Hudson Rd in Rogers AR < Bad Business)
So I had it re-cored by another shop, and when it started leaking again a couple months later they "fixed" it for free.
Now...
Tonight I'll at least be able to eliminate some possibilities and let you all know.
I appreciate your input immensely.
I'm pretty discouraged about this; I bought the BJ and doubled the miles on it (50k miles at present) in two years without a single issue beyond having to replace the IP...
Thank you so much for all the input.
I found that same thing with my mounts, and will try adding a washer there.
It runs smooth at higher RPMs, but I think it would be much too fast for just an idle adjustment.
I will try and bleed the injector lines, I didn't do that yet, only the fuel...
Hello again,
Long Story:
In the last week:
I replaced the front motor mounts with aftermarket (the only) ones from SOR.
I noticed that the hand primer-pump on the injector pump was broken and leaking fuel a little bit, but didn't get around to fixing it (and didn't notice any issues at...
I have a 1979 BJ-40 and the 24V alternator quit on it.
I took it to an alternator shop and they said that it's broken and they can't fix it because they can't get any parts for it (it's not just the brushes)
They said they can send it somewhere but it's going to get very expensive.
Does...
