Tucson 40 assistance (1 Viewer)

[cruiserboy14]

Hello all. It’s been a heck of a year this last year, but after everything I’ve landed in Tucson with a new job. My question is: is anyone down here that has a 40 that could assist me in my final fine tuning of cowboy, to get him safely back on the road?

What fine tuning are you looking to do?

I'm down here in Tucson and always willing to lend a hand when I can.

I believe I have to time the engine and final adjust the carb. I recently had the carb rebuilt by mark in Burbank because it had a high idle and was gummed up. When installed it runs pretty good, but it everything shakes when I rev it. It feels like it’s not in synk but it’s trying. I believe I have the tools, but it would be cool to have someone that has a good cruiser to help bring it in.

I am willing to help but don't know when I will have the time.

I was hoping to tinker on it this weekend

I have got to take down Christmas lights before the HOA starts yelling at me. Plus who knows what the wife is going to have me do. But if I can get away I can be an other body.

At Precision try to work with Mary. She is a professional. Their prices are not the best, but they do have a AAA discount. I've tried for years to get a better one, with no luck. Sometimes she'll sweeten the deal though.

Do not ever step into Desert Toyota unless it is just life or death. You might as well go to AutoZone or the like. 12 year old parts slingers at the counter with enough attitude to make you want to punch them in the pancreas. Their service writers suck too. I drive twice as far to go to Precision. I call up with parts numbers and pick them up when available, which is usually just a couple of days if they are not in stock. Desert Toyota for what ever reason always seemed to be a lot longer.

Ya... I showed the part guy a picture of my part number I needed (igniter).. he asked me if my vehicle had 2 rear doors or one flip up... he then proceeded to explain and mime them out for me.... along with the standard auto zone questions (engine? 2 or 4wd) worst service..

what does your igniter look like i might have one

Merle's is awesome if you don't need OEM (but quality parts). They sent one of their parts runners to Precision for a vent hose when I had an emergency on a Saturday. Probably not the norm, but blew me away.

Agreed. If I’m not doing OEM, it is either Merle’s or NAPA.

 

[cruiserboy14]

I’m trying to keep my build as close to oem as possible.

 

[cruiserboy14]

ITS RUNNING! Lol. Timed it. It has a bit of a burp, but I think that’s exhaust.

 

[DSRTRDR]

I turn right around on my heels in any autoparts store as soon as they go "what application ?"

 

[cruiserboy14]

Yup. It made me really not want to shop there.
