I know many of you have more experience than I so I ask, should I break down and get fuel injection or stick with a carburetor?
Here’s my info and conundrum. I have a 77 us spec fj40. I have had the carb professionally rebuilt (don’t remember who) and without to much use, it is not running right. I have rebuilt a new carburetor but don’t know how to tune it properly. I was never taught and I don’t know a good manual. I’ve looked on YouTube but I’ve only found one and he uses the rpm to gauge it. I don’t know how to check my rpm.
On another note I know the carb is running rich (I can smell it bad! And it’s dieseling). I’ve tried the mixture screw but no real luck.
Sorry for the rant, but I’m getting frustrated with my lack of knowledge and stagnation. I just feel like I’m wasting money on the carb at this point that I could put towards a fuel injection system.
Thanks for any help everyone.
