Let us know what degree shims you install and if they help.So lately this thread might as well be called, "What have you done to you Land Cruiser Today?" because I am making so much progress! I drove it to work Monday and Tuesday. Monday on the drive home I was contemplating the steering being all over the place at speed. So a little MUD research led me to the fact that my 5 inch long shackles have screwed up the CASTER, which is actually super important, don't ignore the CASTER LOL. So new shims are on order now from @orangefj45 Georg at Cruiser Brothers,: I'll report on their affect next week. On today's drive home I was contemplating the slightly stumbly idle, the somewhat hesitant acceleration, and the undesirable top speed. I took my mind back to the carburetor rebuild that I had recently done, and the subsequent do-over of cleaning the idle circuit. I somehow settled in my brain on a big port that I had capped... this one:

I remembered that it wasn't capped in 2016, the last time I had the 40 running, and I started second guessing my decision to cap it. I took it off and went for a test drive. Ok. Public Service Announcement: DON'T CAP THAT LINE! LOL It idled, and accelerated much better without that line capped, and I also got up to a better top speed. Some of the carb gurus are going, "DUH", right now. I'd like to know all the insanely technical reasons why honestly So long story short, for now, I am going to run it like this.... but where should it really be connected from the factory? To the air cleaner?
