Re: WANTED: rear speaker parts

Are you still looking for some?
I have a spare tan/brown set. They're not absolutely perfect, but they'll be cheap.
PM me.

Re: WTB SR5 grille and headlights

I have a few spare grills I would be willing to ship to Australia. The shipping might be a bit pricey, but if that doesn't bother you. PM me and we'll work out the details!

Re: Tercel 3WD

That is pretty awesome! I kinda dig that color blue.
I hope to someday own a baby blue two tone Tercel! That's probably my favorite color scheme.

Re: Yet another carb question...

Swapping a new carb can work if a new gasket kit cannot fix issues. It is a possibility as to what I'll be doing next. I want to try a few more things before I go crazy. The car ran perfectly fine until I did a few doughnuts in an icy parking lot and then it started struggling. I was unaware the th...

Re: Yet another carb question...

My carb rebuild kit came in yesterday. I'm outside today trying to figure out what is going wrong. One thing I noticed is when I was spraying starting fluid near the TSVS, it tended to seemingly run? But it sometimes will maintain running and then die shortly after so it may have been a fluke. Eithe...

Re: Yet another carb question...

Since I have a few days until my carb rebuild kit comes in. I figured I'd try to run some cleaner through the carb and see if anything changes. I mixed some fuel additives that's designed for carbureted cars at 3 ounces of cleaner to 16 ounces of fuel. When 12 ounces is designed for 20 gal so I thin...

Re: Yet another carb question...

Wow! I have never seen that thread before. The color coding makes that extremely easy to read! Thank you so much! I just ran through that and confirmed at least the disturber vacuum lines are correctly routed. I definitely had two that were not correct beforehand. Beyond checking the low idle jet, i...

Re: Yet another carb question...

My car does have the sticker but it's barely readable. Following the FSM and Noridcal25s comment. I believe I have them routed correctly now. The bottom most port on the distributor runs to the bottom of the two metal lines on the metal vacuum line piece running along the valve cover. From there it'...

Re: Yet another carb question...

Here's how the vacuum lines to my distributor are currently set. The big port upper hole is currently ran into the the orange (one way valve?) And follows to the metal loom, which seemingly follows up the line to the "gas filter" (per page EC-38) it's the port that had 2 lines coming from ...

Re: Yet another carb question...

At which RPM you set your timing? According to my manual you should adjust timing at 750 RPM. It was probably around 900 or so? I don't know for sure exactly. Since I didn't have the vacuum advance disconnected and plugged, I'm thinking I might just turn it back to it's original place since it's li...

Re: Yet another carb question...

Timing not set with vacuum advance off/plugged. I set my timing light on it when I got home and bumped it forward from 5 degrees to 10 degrees because I remember seeing that the 5 can cause exhaust valves to burn up. This is crucial -- the manifold vacuum advance hose that goes to the distributor v...

Re: Yet another carb question...

34ish F° in my garage today. I pumped the gas petal twice and it instantly started and idled consistently at 1,200 RPM. choke is nearly fully closed. 2 min in, the RPMS climbed to 2000 3 min in the choke is halfway-ish opened. exhaust started popping and it fluctuates from 2100-1900 kinda like a mis...

Re: Yet another carb question...

So, patience isn't a strength of mine... I decided to run out to the garage tonight and test this. I removed the longest piece of vacuum line I could find on a spare 3A engine. I pulled one port off at a time at the distributor vacuum advance. they all seemed to hold vacuum when sucking on the end o...

Re: Yet another carb question...

Thank you very much! I will try this tomorrow after work and see what I come up with. I believe I have a distributor with a broken rotor that I could replace the vacuum advance with, should this be the problem. I will test it and hope for the best! Thank you all so much for your help!

Re: Yet another carb question...

There's a very good chance that is a possibility. I drove this car the entire way home without a fuel filter. I added one about 400 miles ago. What was your remedy? I'll look up in the FSM where this is located.
