Done with the carbs :) Just waiting for float bowl gaskets I ordered, then it hopefully will work!

Very purdy, nice work!  :good2: 
I'd recommend a set of Uni filters from Randy, rather than those K&Ns.

very nice i like the copper colour you've used on the tops :good2:

are you reusing the original rear subframe? might be a tight fit with those pod filters. i've got k&n filters on mine and theyre more oval shaped and a tight fit between the subframe bars.

Bearmeister

Thank you :) Ive had them mounted once, so they fit, but im not going to use the original subframe either :)Got all the filters for 19$, so ill give em a try!  :biggrin: Gooing to spend as little as possible on it :) Im a cheap bastard! Haha

I understand cheap, but the K&Ns will pass fine silt will eat your motor.  Not mch of a savings when the bores & bearings wear out.

They'll fit fine; I use the same pods on my '86. The Unis might be better, but I bought mine back in the pre-Randy days...no issues so far.

#1, Welcome and looks like some good work.

#2, If you need the correct parts for your FJ, look here: www.RPMracingCa.com
      I have the most comprehensive in stock inventory of FJ specific parts in the world from carb part including the proper bowl gaskets and trick S/S screw kit for the carb as well as all other engine parts and a ton of other part too.

#3, Those are not K&N filters, they are a china knock off that use a rubber boot that slips into the metal filter housing. The rubber will shrink over time and they will allow a lot of dirt to bypass the filter element.

Ive been working on 90 FJ just having trouble posting only one picture from photo bucket every time I try my whole album shows up.

Try right clicking on a single photo, chose the "Save Target As", then paste it between the [img ]Target photo here[/img ]. Spaces added so the code will display.

Close. One of the brackets went missing at the end [/img]. Otherwise you have it. Chose reply with quote to see the code when posting images. And the image is no longer in the same place you copied the path from. 99% there.  :good2:

Not everyone understands what a completely rational process this maintenance of a motorcycle is. They think it's some kind of a knack or some kind of affinity for machines in operation. They are right, but the knack is almost purely a process of reason.
