The EK530 ZVX3 is a top of the line chain that I have used with great success. Recently I have installed the even stronger EK530 Z3D chain.

Quote from: aviationfred on April 05, 2019, 12:30:28 AMThe renntec bars are the go to protection for the FJ engines. As shown in earlier comments, they are well worth the investment. I work nights and once or twice a year do extended rides well into the night. They Renntec bars are a great place to mount Auxiliary lights.




Fred

What auxiliary lights are you using? I just ordered some Renntec bars for my 86 and want to put some lights on but there are a million options so would help if somebody has already picked something they like.

The exact model of auxiliary lighting is no longer available. These lights are a close representation of what I used.

Hope this helps.

Loose the stock air box then you have plenty of room to use automotive heavy walled fuel line.

As Robert said, you need 2 different sizes of hose. I used 5/16" (7.95mm) and 1/4" (6.35mm)

Be careful *do not* try and stretch the small hose over the large fuel filter outlet.
Lots of heat under there, the stretched hose can split and leak. 

Better to come into the fuel filter and out ~6" with the big hose, then get a barbed brass step down hose fitting to transition to the smaller hose....run the smaller hose to your fuel pump.



I prefer the uniform compression of spring clamps vs worm clamps.

The hose from the fuel filter to the fuel pump is a special molded hose. It is 8mm on the fuel filter side and 6mm on the fuel pump side.

I have a brand new EBC MD2068 rear rotor for the FJ and other Yamahas as well.  $125.00 firm.  I will ship for a fee but prefer local cash pick up.  Cashiers check/Money Order as I don't do the ripoff money transfers such as venmo or paypal.  I have had a recent disaster in my life so please don't make an offer.  Also the phone number is a landline so no messaging please call for questions.  Located in SoCal.  I have put a post below for more fitment and pricing, or just go to Ebay and put in MD2068 EBC.  Randy or Mark Montgomery can verify my honesty.  Thanks for looking.

Thanks very much for the links and info. The extra filter looks beautifully made. Unfortunately, as I'm in the UK buying from RPM is prohibitive, as shipping is just too much.
If you know the pipe IDs I'd be grateful.

Thanks Pat reading through your post now

Robert, I suspect his problem is not the clutch, as Travis pointed out, but the transmission. I posted a link above detailing this fix.

The clutch can be serviced by removing the clutch cover. The cases do not need to be split for this.
