'71 fj 40.
numbers on the engine block show it was made in 71.
i do not have much mechanical skill... trying to learn.
filled up the gas tank yesterday to go for a cruise.
about 30 mins in, engine quits running.
while rolling without power, i was able to start it again.
on the way home, it happened 2 more times and the last time, it would not start.
the engine cranks, and a few times it sputtered a bit, but couldn't get enough to get running.
my complete know-nothing opinion is that it wasn't getting fuel.
got towed home.
this morning, started right up, no prob.
any suggestions about what i should check or look into?
any help is greatly appreciated.
