To follow up on the Hygrade 791B Kit.
Just got done rebuilding (thanks to following online videos produced and posted by Pinhead on YouTube!!) my 12/1981 FJ60 (carb #21100-61141) using this kit.
Useful parts this kit DOES contain for my year/model carb:
new needle valve (seat (but no screen), valve, spring and plunger)
gasket between the airhorn and bowl,
power valve,
o-ring for idle fuel cut solenoid,
check valves for accelerator pump inlet and return (big and small check valves),
accelerator pump plunger, primary and secondary venturi gaskets,
primary and secondary main jet gaskets (fiber),
gasket c-clip and washer for secondary diaphragm,
gaskets between insulator and fuel bowl and insulator and bottom plate,
and several hairpins for choke and throttle linkages.
Does NOT contain for my year/model carb:
float or float pin,
screen for the needle valve,
2nd diaphragm for this model,
choke diaphragm,
A/C idle up diaphragm,
accelerator pump piston and springs (for inlet and outlet),
idle fuel cut solenoid,
retaining clip for accelerator pump check valve,
primary nor secondary air correction jet (slow jets),
neither primary nor secondary venturi,
neither primary nor secondary main jets,
new insulator,
or idle mixture screw.
I ended up using the two gaskets between the insulator and base plate and insulator and bowl, even though when I took the carb apart, there were no gaskets there. Apparently the gaskets were originally bonded on the insulator. I figured with the age of the insulator, it might not be a bad idea to use them. Don't have a leak after installing, running and tuning the carb.
Two close calls (almost show stoppers) were removing the secondary main jet and the screw underneath the base plate that holds the base plate to the insulator and bowl. Almost stripping the heads using a screw driver, I ended up pulling out the Milwaukee M18 1/4 impact driver with a single slot screw driver tip (Black and Decker), but the tip broke (cheap Chinese steel), so went to Home Depot to find a 1/4" single slot driver made from higher quality steel. Ended up get a Milwaukee 10in1 square multi-bit driver ($7.95 part#48-22-2102). Backed both of them out with no problems! Catastrophe avoided!
Carb is purring like a kitten now. Still waiting to mount the 2nd diaphragm (on order from NAPA), so still running on a single barrel - not full power. The secondary diaphragm in the kit has a straight actuator arm. My make/model has a bend in the arm at the tip that connects to the linkage on the carb...
