Warm start issue (1 Viewer)

[sambuh]

hello! I have a 1976 FJ40 in really great shape. For the most part it drives and handles really well and overall is great shape. I have a weird issue where on a cold start it fires up just fine. Pull the choke and turns right over. However after driving, even for a few minutes, it will not fire back up unless I turn the key, pump the gas pull the choke then push the choke back in. I was going to swap out the fuel filter and possibly the pump. But was curious if there was a way to diagnose either prior to just swapping parts. TIA

Hot weather driving when this happens? Good ole ‘vapor lock’ maybe?

1) Carb cooling fan helps if you don’t have one…..
2) Holley Sniper EFI…. ‘Pricey’ fix and lot’s of threads on this -

Good looking ride you got BTW!

I found out by trial and error that hot starting my 77 when outside temp is 85+ works on first or second crank by pushing gas pedal to floor and holding it there - no choke. Revs pretty high upon starting but, hey, it starts!

Sweet ride!
Try what HardWay suggested.
I have a '76 and this is from the owners manual:
