I recently purchased a 1971 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 that appears to have been well cared for over the years. According to the information I have, the engine was rebuilt in 1992. The engine is clean and runs okay with the current setup.
At the moment, the vehicle has a Weber carburetor installed. However, the previous owner provided me with the original Aisan carburetor, which has a date code “2 A 12”. The Aisan carburetor looks to be in very good condition, though it may need a rebuild.
I’m reaching out to the forum to ask for your advice:
• Would you recommend rebuilding and reinstalling the original Aisan carburetor?
• Or should I stick with the Weber carburetor that’s currently on the vehicle?
I appreciate any insights or experiences you can share regarding the performance, reliability, and ease of maintenance between these two carburetors.
Thank you in advance for your help!
Best regards
