I have a 76 FJ40 with the 2f, non-usa Toyo vacuum dizzy.
I was having HELLACIOUS running problems after it was parked for the winter.
I changed the points, fuel filter(s) and re-wired the carb-area wires. My plugs were NGK BPR5EA-L's, only a year old. They were uniformly BLACK, more sooty than oily.
I switched the plugs to NGK BPR5ES-11's, which is what NAPA gave me, gapped at .039-.040.
The engine runs WAY better now and I'm wondering if I need a carb rebuild after all or maybe just hotter plugs.
If I wanted to try hotter plugs in this 2F, what can people recommend? Also, a previous witch-doctor removed the ignitor from the coil and I now have just a coil set-up, with no ignitor.
Many thanks!!!
