I was putting my rebuilt carb. back onto the intake manifold (after drilling out the led and fixing the idle mixture screw) I must have let a washer or something slip into the intake because when I started the truck back up it idled fine but then I can hear sporadic "tinking" like something was...
thanks, i think i found your thread about you boogering it up to... I was an instant " ah fawk" ... I'm taking it off for a rebuild and will asses the situation ... thanks for the input... 25 bucks for a screw... awesome
I am done with the desmog, was pretty easy actually when all is said and done. but I can get it to freaking idle..runs so smooth through RPMs but won't idle above 1,100 rpms... talked to jim, he said it might be dirt clogging the idle circuit, time to tear the carb apart. But i was attempting to...
would love to know as well what all goes into the "carb desmog" ? different jets? (sizes?) ... other than a good rebuild I'd like to know what is altered?
correct me please if i'm wrong or not clear on those explanations... not an expert just trying to share the details I have written for myself with you guys.
with a compilation of the trapper50cal plus that semi-legible component layout schematic with the x-s and s*** written on it.. i've got a list that will hopefully help some out:
HAC delete (specific)
Primary advance
• Advancer port on carburetor
Secondary advance
• Goes to port on...
I was going to check for carb leaks but its so hard to do, its almost pointless, as in its hard to feel a increase in RPMs when they are flucuating to begin with ( makes sense? ) i did spray the base and other intake parts prior to the post but was unable to locate a leak because of the...
checked fusible link ( 0 ohms on all 3 wires compared to power source)
checked fuel cut off solenoid (clicks when ignition on)
all 40 + feet of vacuum hose has been replaced
new NGK plugs, wires, + new cap,rotor,air and fuel filter
1983 fj60
smog equipment still connected
the truck runs good...
ok for a brief discription as to what the heck i'm seeing.
The air rail (not individual ports) but where the check valve connects to the air rail looks like at one point it might have broke off and someone plugged that with a large bolt (ugh)..
the hose that connects that air rail to the...
the VSV (2) for AI, on my 83 fj60 is broke. the PO broke both nipples off of the switch so its inoperable. Can I bypass it, technically its supposed to go from my air cleaner to the VSV to the ABV could i just route it from the air cleaner to the ABV? will this cause any problems? idle issues...
tractor supply, cheapest place so far.. you buy by weight and buy grade of bolts... grade 8 at 2lbs = blah blah... it ends up to be cheaper in the end for me. i can't order from those bolt stores over line, i just have to many spur of the moment projects that i can plan my bolt supply.
some...
buy a rebuild kit....and do it yourself one side at a time. follow the fsm its easy but time consuming, if you have any questions just ask them here on mud. no worries.
please dont use a dana 44 in the back of a 4bt....thats asking for trouble... use a ford 9" from a bronco (66-77) and is i think the exact same width as a fj60 axle... cheap axle and fairly strong... and easily upgradable
the V6 third is still an 8 inch third, same ring and pinion as a regular mini truck but has 6 fins on the third instead of 3..... not same as the cruiser
stick that in your pipe and smoke it al!:princess:
yea those are the first ones I have seen without a bias, that seem to be an equalateral triangle, i guess that would just allow the spring to invert more until the "pin" hits the frame and limits it.
just extend your bump stops...
what wheels are you running that you need to cut out your fenders?
- my brother runs 37's on his 60 without a prob. (SOA)
i think you will regret cutting out your fenders in the event you ever do a spring over...and if it is travel your looking for its SOA you...
