Ok - first, I know absolutely nothing about carburetors and or how they work. But I am learning.
With that being said – I sent a carburetor out for rebuilt. With that – the mechanic was asking me several questions about my driving habits and where I off-road.
I basically told him in the heartland of Death Valley and its surrounding mountains (Panamints, Argus, Funeral, etc.). He laughed and then he understood I was serious.
I asked him why? He indicated it had to do with installing the proper “jets.” He basically told me you need larger jets for higher elevations and so on.
My question to you: I have a stock FJ40 with a 2F engine and late F series carburetor, lifted 3” with 33” tires. I usually cruise about 65/70 mph and my off-roading is moderate. That is too say - nothing serious – most of the time. The highest elevations I reach with my cruiser is about 6,500’. Average driving elevation is about 2,500’.
With all that being said – what jet size should I be using?
Thanks in advance,
