1973 FJ40. Stock F155 and factory 3 speed. factory Asian double barrel carb.
the pic below isn't the carb I have, but I'd love to know the purpose of the highlighted arm and if that rod connection to the swivel piece should be connected to the end of the swivel and/or locked in place wherever it sits?
Mine is pictured below. My arm isn't actually connected to anything. The lock washer / pin is gone so it just sits free. And it always finds itself stuck underneath the swivel.
What is the purpose of this arm? I can get a washer / pin to get it connected ... but does it lock into the spot I put it? I assume so otherwise it would just slide around and do nothing. If I lock it in place, is there a 'right' place to lock it?
Thanks! Apologies for the dumb questions. FYI the truck runs great WHEN WARM around the neighborhood. Hesitates and backfires out of the exhaust under load >= 2800k RPMs in 2nd and 3rd. It definitely hesitates and bucks until warm. Timing is set. Compression is good. I fixed a vacuum leak and it's consistent around 17 idling. I've tuned the carb per the manual. I think/hope this is a final piece of the puzzle and plan on getting it attached tomorrow.
