Did you do anything to the canvas yet? Seam sealer? Might be a good idea before the rain starts...I'd check with Johnny C

Whoa, Dude! Didn't you just report the truck is running great?! And now you're gonna mess with the carb again?

Keep this on your desk as a piece of old school Land Cruiser art and enjoy the truck for a while...

OTOH, go ahead and change the carb. It will keep this thread going for another month! ;p

 

[My wife said no FJ!]

I have to agree...if the rig is running nicely, I'd just enjoy as is it for a while...no rush to put the new carb on

 

[destin]
