    Wobbly Crank Pulley

    Morning Roger, Thanks Its a 2F, I have copies of the old manuals with torques etc, sadly doesn't tell me the basic stuff like how to get to it and what to look for, i.e. does it just need tightening or is it more fundamental. All the manuals and parts lists I have are micro fische or photo...

    Wobbly Crank Pulley

    Finally had the truck out for a long drive (100km), loving it but developed a wobbly crankshaft pulley! Not much access and 'bolt' looks more like a fly nut. I'm guessing i can't just tighten up and the radiator has to come off?

    Success, I think. New plugs in makes a big difference... running on 6 cylinders! And starts with one turn of the key. Hoping the plugs were the issue rather than something else causing the plugs to misfire. Will see how she goes then think we’ll plan a drive down south.

    New plugs ordered. Ended up with the AA out. Truck judders when initially getting going but normally runs fine after 5-10mins. Yesterday it didn't and wouldn't get up the hill on the way home. One or two of the plugs have dark ash like deposits on them and when tested by removing each HT lead...

    Truck running well now for two weeks especially with nice new battery. Sadly developing a miss fire over the last few days so guess i'll be educating myself under the bonnet this weekend.

    New Owner.... struggling!

    The truck is now back with me in Wimbledon. Had a good drive back up the A3, having only 3 gears wasn't as bad as I expected. Cruised along at 80km/hr hitting 100km/hr a couple of times no problem. Had the biggest grin. Before leaving we'd taken it for a drive and had played around with the...

    Finally fixed, turns out the carb was full of dirt, had it cleaned out! Sadly now fitting what I hope is just a weak battery, grateful for any battery recommendations.

    New Owner.... struggling!

    Apologies for the terminology, total novice when it comes to engines. The first time it 'stopped' there was no big splutter I just felt power going over a couple of seconds then dead. It did start again after a couple of minutes but then only moved for a meter. The garage are now saying that...

    I guess from assuming the first stall was lack of fuel. Might not have been, but seemed logical. And then due to cutting out after a short run.

    Hi Everyone, Bought my 1977 FJ40 back in early Dec but handed over to a garage to do some 'priority' work after having it inspected before purchase (undercoat, seat mount moved back - I'm 6ft4). On pick up had fuel issue that still has not been resolved. When collected from garage told it...
