Hi all, newbie here and my first post - apologies in advance for forum learning curve. Located in St Petersburg Florida.
I recently purchased an 85 FJ60 (225kmi mostly NM and Texas driven) which was desmogged at some point by POs but sat for 2 yrs driven little.
It ran ok in test drives and very short drives after purchase. It had/has a rough idle and get worse after 20mins of driving to where it would stall at idle but at speed it had good power and acceleration. I checked the fuel filter (clean) and fuel pump (did not replace but looks newish) and gas is going to the carb.
I decided to have the carb rebuilt by Ron at Performance Carburetor in Clearwater FL. to rule out a gunked up carb. Ron said that the secondary diaphragm was in ok condition and did not replace it. Ron did replace the accelerator plunger. I reinstalled the carb which was challenge to get the linkages correct etc but I believe its installed correctly.
However now its struggles to rev past 2500rpms in neutral and drive. (The rough idle has not changed either - same symptoms but I can't test drive it due to rpm issue.)
I have tested w/ carb cleaner for vacuum leaks (initially there was
I have reviewed a few threads here but no clear resolutions.
Any advice and help would be greatly appreciated.
