Hey guys,
Just got my 1st FJ40 last week and couldn't pass emissions in Arizona, looking for your insight on how to best get my rig up to speed.
I have a 1975 2F Toyota Land Cruiser with a Weber carburetor, the air pump isn't hooked up (no belt connected). The hose from the engine to the air pump has a bolt blocking off the end of it, and the hose off the pump is cut and hanging free off the back side.
The vehicle came out of Washington where due to age was not required to pass emissions, but in Arizona it is required because it isn't older than 1967.
I know this can't be the first time this type of situation has come up, but am trying to go the right direction in getting my rig to pass emissions so I can get it registered.
My first thought is to take off the air pump and try and tune the carb so it isn't running too rich.
My second thought is to reconnect the air pump, and reroute the hoses thru the pump, carb and then back into the engine.
Your input is greatly appreciated, I am not a strong mechanic but figured this can't be an over the top excursion to take on.
What do you all recommend? Pro's Con's?
