What makes an OEM carb “California”
My PO installed a Weber 32/36. I was gifted an OEM ‘76 California spec carb 21100-61072. This part number is only present one year: ‘76 California.
Assuming that California legislation forced Toyota to make less-good changes to this carb, what do I need to do to make it the best carb possible (short of sending it to Jim or mark)
I’ve rebuilt a few carbs, so it’s not unfamiliar territory but I wouldn’t call myself skilled. On of the great joys of owning our FJ40s is that they’re so analog, and we can truly take apart broken parts and fix them so I do want to do this myself. I can always send it out if I’m unable to achieve satisfactory results.
I have the rebuild kit from Kurt at Cruiser Outfitters with the secondaries diaphragm too.
I’m guessing that the Cali spec was jetted different but hoping one of you wizards will steer me in the right direction.
