Hi all,
I recently purchased an 78 FJ45 that had been sitting for 3-4 years. The PO drove it to storage and said it ran really well. I am just trying to get the thing to start, idle and be able to press the gas pedal and it not bog out.
When I got it to run after many attempts and some quick start. It ran pretty well. I could take it through all the rev ranges and it was fine. Then i decided to take it for a little drive and soon as I gave it a foot of gas it just bogged out and died.
It will now hold a rough idle and soon as you give it gas it just bogs out. It seems to really hesitate when you give it more fuel. It gets fuel and there is lots of spark.
It has new NGK plugs, fuel lines, chassis-starter and battery grounds wires, fresh fuel.
This thing is pretty simplistic....but I am thinking it must be a carburetor problem or a timing issue.
Before I attempt a carb rebuild or anything else. I just wanted to see what some other 40 series MUD owners have to say.
Thanks,
Phil
