Hi all:
I have searched and searched, ordered a factory service manual (which will not come for 3 more weeks). Due to circumstances I had to change my distributor to a newer model (84 fj60). I hooked up the throttle vacuume to my carb. and when started it ran at 1,600 rpm or higher. I tried to mess with some of the screws, I know stupid without asking, and messed it up. I can run it but don't know if I am where I should be in the whole realm of a good tuned carb or not. I need to have someone either give me a process, where to start from 1.2.3. etc. or have someone copy their FSM so I can see what I am suppose to do. What kind of carb is this (some people say asian or non asian - foreign and USA respectively?). I know what the screws are now and what some of them do. I just don't know where to start to tune a carb for now. Are the pictures I sent good enough. The picture from the top down, is that normal for one side to be black. Just a little education since my last FJ had a 327 in it. I know newby but if you could lend some patience and great advice then it would be much appreciated. I made the title so that further cruizer heads can search this link and leave most of you alone.
