I have a question hoping someone here can help. I need a carb rebuild on my 60. I’m interested in getting the city racer carb in the meantime. My truck is not desmogged but I don’t need smog testing in my county. If I were to go the city racer route would I have to completely desmog my truck? I guess my question is… I understand I wouldn’t pass smog with this carb, but would I have to go through the process of desmogging and removing all the lines?
@FJ60LC Not at all. Just plug the vacuum hoses that don’t have a match on the new carburetor.
Engine fuse was blown. Once kiddo isn’t napping (he’s in the room closest to the driveway) I’ll try to fire her up.
Found the positive side of the connector and it’s now labeled.
@gt7058a I’m not opening that thread, keeping HAC... I’ve looked awhile back and I’m simply seeking one question answered... that thread and the desmog thread are life suckers.
X port is going where?

Is there a drawing of his vacuum routing. I’m so confused if the one Comet has in this thread is incorrect. I feel like the only way I’ll get this vacuum routing correct is from a drawingRememeber it was discovered by @OSS and @mwebfj60 that the dizzy vcv schematic shown in this thread was incorrect. It makes it look like x and y are t’d, when in fact, at the factory they built them with X and Z t’d together. X and Z t’d together is the correct way to isolate the dizzy completely when the truck is shut off. This image is from @OSS post

@Comet @ToyotaMatt@Pr86yota check closely. One is incorrect and one is correct. I was using the City Racer carb and it only has one vacuum port. I drew vacuum from the intake if I remember correctly. The drawings are correct but my first picture is incorrect. Use the @ when citing members. That way Comet shows up as @Comet and I can get a notification that there are issues. I hope what I have up is of help. If it is wrong, I need to know so I can correct it on my thread for future members.
@Comet @ToyotaMatt
Thank you, this is the only pic showing up and it says old pic deleted- but I would like to confirm. So is this vacuum diagram the correct one and the same way OSS has it set up?

My recommendation while Fuji carb is loose/new - check the ICS o-ring, majority of the new carbs I have seen have a split, deformed o-ring. Also recommend swapping the float out for a genuine Aisan. I've had more than one float absorb the water/fuel and become unbuoyant and they will flood.
Nate speaks the TRUTH on the Idle Cut SOLONOID O-ring topic , i have experienced this first hand myself , ALWAY install and use a NEW OEM FCS o-ring , but make dam sure u lube it with petrolum jelly , di-electric grease or heck even burts bees chap stick works in a pinch , i have used ,
for everyone's tech info TOTOTA still offers the FCS tiny o-ring , part #
Also here is the aluminum fcs crush ring gasket part #
It’s important never to re-use one due to a potential and likley fuel leak
Anyone telling anyone it’s safe to re-use this crush ring does not know wjat there taking about I have had them leak and seep if I re-used them
Not ever again is my rule

But if you're in a bind it's aluminum, so hammer flat if it has burrs and flip around - re-use![]()
It's the when you drive these trucks constantly and need a fix in the middle of nowhere way. But i've never had issues with the ICS leaking either, probably because I use a new crush washer everytime, ha!No no no Nate no !
That’s not the FSM toyota way …![]()
Thanks for all that. The FSM isn’t going to help me when I have a desmogged carb. I am just trying to figure out the vacuum for the Passenger side VCVNo no no Nate no !

That’s easy, port S to manifold vacuum then plumb to air cleaner.Thanks for all that. The FSM isn’t going to help me when I have a desmogged carb. I am just trying to figure out the vacuum for the Passenger side VCV
So is this drawing for the driver side VCV?That’s easy, port S to manifold vacuum then plumb to air cleaner.
