Is this Carb for a LC? (1 Viewer)

Is this a stock LC Carb?

I pulled this carb off a 79 fj40 and started disassembling but it does not look right to me. I does not match the rebuild kit, and the stamp says 260 ej. Can anyone help?

I removed the linkage here on the left.

Thanks for the help.

Are you asking if it is a stock carb? Guess I am confused by your question...

 

[Rust Bucket]

yes, is this a stock carb?

I've never seen one with the little accumulator thing on that side. That being said it could have been for a 2f off a fork lift.

The 79 FJ40 was from California if that helps.

That is a factory LC carb. I believe it is a mid 70's California Emissions unit.

edit: you need the right carb kit. You have to get one for a cali truck

If this is a mid 70's can anyone help with specific carb kit.

Me neither. It doesn't look like any cruiser carb on the SOR web site because of the thing high on the right side.

Maybe a Cressida?

That stamping doesn't make any sense. If it's from a '79, it should read something like 9 A 15. 9 for 1979, A for January, 15 for the 15th day of the month. For example.

The slot head screws in the sight glass, and the sight glass itself look strange also. I'm sure Jim or Mark will find this soon enough and have some ideas.

heres a pic of the carn off my 79...

Just for reference.

Thanks for the pic. I think I am almost done with the rebuild. It only had 1 jet I guess that is normal.
Does anyone know where I can find an idle screw? The long pointed screw was bent like an "s" I tried to bend it back and broke it.

SOR can order them it looks like. I might try Jim C or Dan. Otherwise i would be looking for a used carb to steal it from.

Looks like other '79 FJ40 carbs I've seen. What about hte kit didn't look right? Make sure the jets in your kit are the same size as the ones being relpaced (they're stamped on top).
