Re: Another Movie Sighting...

Watch this is America by Childish Gambino. Gold wagon in the background at 1:25 into the video for about 20 seconds. Then at the end there are some pretty cool Toyota's in a row too.

Re: Carburetor spring replacements

Yeah. My Weber on my 85 pick-up has spoiled me. It runs tight whether it's -10° or 100°. I don't really want to Weber this one, and it does only take about 30 seconds to a minute to get it's idle right so maybe it's not as bad as I think.

Re: Carburetor spring replacements

Right on, I'll keep that in mind next fill up. I'm going to have to sort out the idle mixture I think. It smells rich and I'm assuming can't possibly be right with all the other things wrong inside. Runs really good off idle, but kind of has a rough idle when cold. I think when it warms up it has en...

Re: Carburetor spring replacements

No doubt. After seeing what was going on, I was like and this is why it only gets 10mpg. The gas mileage looks to have about doubled. After my next fill up I'll be able to gauge what it actually is.

Re: Carburetor spring replacements

Yeah, I can read the exploded diagram better than whoever tried rebuilding it previously. The spring numbers are 65 and 70. Someone lost them in the last rebuild I'm assuming because they were just straight up missing, but the check balls were still there. You're half right though a couple check bal...

Carburetor spring replacements

Recently went to rebuild my carb and found it was missing two springs. One was the spring for the pump disc. ball, the other was for the aux check ball. Looking through fj forums I found the medium sized spring (aux check) can be made from cutting down a click pen's spring to about half an inch. The...

My Toyota Pickup

My daily driver for the past six years has been replaced by an 84 Tercel. I've had this truck from the bottom of Texas to NM and CO. It has been an amazing ride and it's hard to see it sit in the driveway. Here's to the ones that never let you down.

Re: My minty 84

So I found it at a small town car lot the lady was asking $1950 for it. I've always wanted one of these but you rarely see them in the Texas panhandle. I really just want to upkeep it and drive it like it is. I've got a nice 85 Toyota pickup for off-roading so this is my around town car. It drives s...

My minty 84

Just bought this super clean 84. Only 127500 miles and it looks new inside and out. I've owned a few mid eighties Toyotas and this is one quickly becoming my favorite. The original white wheels will be going back on it soon, even though these wheels aren't terrible. It came with tons of service docu...
