Carb rebuild, 2F Aisan non-usa?
I'm cross-posting this with my local forum (ONSC) to see if I can get some additional help from everyone.
Well, I'm attempting to prove how dumb I am and rebuild the carb off the '77 FJ45 from the great north, which is really out of an [STRIKE]'85 FJ60[/STRIKE] (my error in understanding, only the tranny/transfer case is from the 60), with a "non-USA" carb according to the PO.
Instead of doing what most would do and order the rebuild kit from our local auto parts store, I decide to cover my bases and order the specific kit from Spector, at least that is what I thought I was doing. We will see if it turns out to be smart later. Probably should have just sent it to JimC.
I won't bore anyone with the fun part, removal and the state it started in...
Needless to say, it was fun cleaning, soaking, scrubbing, soaking some more, scrubbing some more, soak, scrub...gets me to this point. The pile o'parts, it cleaned up pretty well considering the start...
Can't decide if this is a casting flaw or someone was having a hard time removing it before me...
So, everything is going fine until step 3 in the FSM, install the 1st "slow jet". Its not the same length...
Like WTF? So, then the search begins on ih8mud to find the answer. I've read through so many carb rebuild threads, my head is spinning. So many posts that jets can be found at the local dealer, Spector but not by me. I can find the mains but I can't even find the part number for the "slow jets".
Best part of all is the ONE that needs to be replace is this oddball. Its clearly plugged. I've let it soak overnight in the carb dip but can't get it to clear. I'm ready to try and push something through but wish I had a back up in case my usual bad luck rears its head and I wind up boring a HUGE hole in the jet.
Sent an PM to CDan to see what he can find in his magic resource book. CDan replied that there is only one part number (21205-61011) for the FJ60 slow jet with no parameters
So, I'll let it soak again today and start the "poking" process tonight when I get home.
And, just for the sake of discussion, the jets I took off were:
power valve - 90
1st slow jet - 55 (the "shorty)
2nd slow jet - 90
pri main jet - 150
sec main jet - 220
I'm assuming the changes are due to "tuning" for the de-smog but can't say for sure at this point since I don't know what is stock for a non-usa carb. What does everyone know stock for the US carbs are, something like this:
power valve - 80
1st slow jet - 65
2nd slow jet - 90
pri main jet - 147
pri sec jet - 200
What came with the kit was:
power valve - 80
1st slow jet - 65
2nd slow jet - 90
pri main jet - 132/138
sec main jet - 180/200
More to come, I hope. Thanks in advance for any insight/guidance...
