Friends, I have an odd problem. My FJ60 normally purrs and runs quite well for an old 2F. It even passes smog here in CA with flying colors. This weekend I took it to Coyote Flats where it saw, for the first time, 10k'. On the way up, well before we reached 10k', it noticed it would bog down and lose power from time to time. I then tied it to hitting hard sections of the trail where the truck would get tossed around a lot. I thought it might be starving for fuel but the truck behind me noticed a lot of black smoke so it was running to rich. The, the problem would clear up and it would run just fine. This continued. I could start it just fine 10,500' and it would drive, albeit low on power, also just fine at that altitude, until I hit something that pitched the truck side to side and then the sputtering would return for 10-20 seconds and be fine again.
I am wondering if the float is sticking open? I basically have to find a trail to repeat the problem so it's a bit hard to make it come/go. One thing that did occur was the EGR pipe broke between the manifold and EGR valve, could that have caused it or be related to it?
Thanks!
