Aisan Carb Rebuilding Videos

[alaska60]

I don't know what I was thinking. I was too lazy to sign up for a Youtube account. If I get some time, I will put them on Youtube. Right now they are too long, so they need to be edited.

I just appreciate the time that you take to help get them back up and the time of making them.

I'll try after labor day like you mentioned and see if the download on tuesday.

OK, It is up on You Tube now in 7 parts.

I spelled Aisan wrong, but it isn't worth the time to fix it. Aisin - Aisan I can't keep them straight.

These are excellent references for those of us trying to build up our knowledge. I only wish there were more! Much appreciated.

Or is it the 'Asian' carb as opposed to the 'American' replacements?

Thanks for doing that Pin_Head, those videos helped me a ton. My record mileage with the Aisan carb so far is 15.9 in my 2F powered FJ40.

I think I could use a little advice on which vacuum lines should be used in a desmogged setup.

@Pin_Head
I had a friend give me a stock carb (currently have a Weber).

I'm chomping at the bit to rebuild it and learn to tune it. It's going to make a great winter project. Really appreciate your videos! Thx for serving mud well.

I do have a few questions.

Is there something missing (see location circled).

Also.. the date code leads off with a 1. Do you know if it's a 71 or 81? Not sure if it matters or not...

 

[Pin_Head]

1. No. It is an optional feature not used on that particular model.
2. Problably 81.

 

[John Smith]

71, based on the fuel return and single port on carb base.

 

[Bluegrass40]

If that's the case, will this carb work on my '78 with a 2f?

Here are some more pics to help id the date...

 

[FJ40Jim]

That carb is a 1976 federal 2F spec, built in august 1981 to be sold as a service replacement part.
It will work on a desmogged 1978 2F.
Good luck.

 

[Pin_Head]

That is what I was going to say except I didn't know why a '76 carb would be stamped with an '81 date.

 

[Bluegrass40]

Makes sense. I had looked through the pics on the sor site to date the carb and also thought it was a '76. I was thrown off by the date discrepancy. Service part makes sense!

Thanks @FJ40Jim and @Pin_Head!

These videos are really awesome. What would you say the difficulty is in repairing or rebuilding the carburetor? I’m willing to tackle it myself, but it seems safer to send it out

 

[samatulich]

Not difficult at all.

 

[Bluegrass40]

Rebuilt mine. Very satisfying and not that difficult at all if you have bit of attention to detail and interest in learning.

Just don't lose any parts, a rebuild kit doesn't contain every part.

ok cool. up for the meticulous challenge.

 

[Pin_Head]

If you don’t pay attention and lose stuff it will spank you.

Im taking you along with me when I do this! Hopefully years of RC cars help me through. Thanks for the videos

I just posted 7 videos on rebuilding an Aisan 2 barrel carburator on You Tube.

Nothing fancy production wise: It is just me yapping while the camera is running.
Good luck and enjoy.

Thanks Pin_Head! Had to clean the plugged screen and remove fine sediment from the bottom of the fuel bowl this evening. Your videos made this a piece of cake (two beer job!) I've been replacing OEM fuel filters too often and she finally got plugged. I obviously need to repair/replace the fuel tank, but she's up and running perfectly again until I can drop the tank and address the root cause. Don't plan on driving much until I can as I don't want to compromise the carb any further. My wife says she loves you as she now has one of the garage spots back. Much appreciated sir,

Scott
