I got a 1976 FJ40
it starts fine and idles good
but when you get it on the road it hesitates a lot
it runs much better with choke 1/2 way out
it has been smoke tested and has 20" of vacuum at idle, doesnt seem to be an intake manifold leak
ignition / timing / vavle clearence all checked and set to specs
any ideas before i rip the carb out of it, i keep thinking its something simple because it starts/idle's so good
mechanic says its leaned out and the next move is to rebuild the carb
i was going to check the jet size with a split screwdriver and see if i could solve problem with a bigger size, stock should be 1.44 according to sor
thanks
