I have an electric carb on my 69 FJ40, believe it’s a Weber (two square butterfly plates).
I wanted to back it up before the freeze. But when I went to start it, no dice. Never had an issue until this year.
When I went to spray some starter fluid in the carb, thinking it was just the cold weather, I realized there was no tension on the plates. No movement at all when pulling the throttle line or physically moving the plates.
Any suggestions? Maybe a clip or spring popped? I didn’t have time to assess, because it was about to snow and was trying to prep… in New Orleans. Yes, 12” of snow in my backyard in New Orleans.
