I think this is my third post in 3 days. I just bought my fj40 over the weekend and I’m trying to figure it out. Not a super mechanically inclined guy but can figure things out. That being said, here’s what’s going on...
The engine was stuck when I got it. After a few days of MMO, an oil change with new filter, battery and fuel I got it running.
I’m trying to diagnose my problems one by one but I honestly can’t figure out what I have. Its registered as a 1967 but I’m not sure that’s the actual year.
I replaced the plugs that were in it (3/4”) with new plugs of the same gap and length. However, I read that this year engine should be taking 3/8” plugs (bought those too for good measure).
Additionally, it says the 67 should have a two barrel carb. Mine is a single barrel.
If anyone can help me identify what I have so I can start ordering the right parts I would seriously appreciate it.
Also if you live in or around NY I’m open for help hahah
Thanks in advance,
Travis
