The first job on the Land Cruiser was to get her running. The previous owner said it probably something to do with the carburetor, so that's where we started.
I took the carburetor out, took it apart, and cleaned it. A lot. Piece by piece. With a toothbrush. I can say I've probably never cleaned anything like I cleaned this carburetor.
Then I put it back together and put it back in the car. Then we put the keys in to fire her up. But she didn't start.
We jumped the battery to the van and then got her started, but even with the pristine carburetor we couldn't keep her running. So, the investigation began. I spent some quality time in the Chilton manual, visiting Land Cruiser sites, and trying out different carburetor theories.
