I just got my first FJ Last week. eBay auction supplied me with a well used and abused 84. Much work to do indeed. New carbs and a Vance & Hines pipe, rear wheel bearings and a chain to start off. Its been painted with a rattle can, oh joy. I think i still got a good deal. Pictures to follow.

Ran well for 2 minutes then idle went south. Carbs are in sync now but still idling poorly but that is a subject for a diff board.

welcome to the group!

sounds like dirty carbs.... a good cleaning will probably make her right as rain again.

check the inside of the tank for rust.

Kookaloo!
