Double D said:My '86 FJ60 runs fine at highway speed, but starts reving and eventually dies when in neutral.
My mechanic thinks it needs a carb. rebuild. Any suggestions?
Double D said:On it's own,while in neutral or with the clutch pressed, the engine revs up to around 3000 RPMS, slows down to 800 RPMS, revs to 2900, slows to 700, revs to 2800, slows to 600 and continues until it eventually idles down and goes dead.
We worked with the idle adjustment and made it where it won't idle low enough to go dead, but it still goes through this pattern of "pulsing".

Find a mechanic who can definitively diagnose what is wrong and what steps should be taken to repair it.
