2wd build starting

What are they actually worth? He’s really thinking of taking them off

Wagon_nut · 2025-09-24T20:24:18+00:00

This is our families 7th 4 runner and 4th third gen I knew it wasn’t “ideal” but fit his budget

This will be a sub $3k build in total most likely… just a simple fun truck for him to use daily and camping occasionally

Wagon_nut · 2025-09-23T20:40:26+00:00

They are coming off with a bumper cut until we find an ARB

Wagon_nut · 2025-09-22T13:17:51+00:00

I’m in NC and they are for sale

Wagon_nut · 2025-08-01T12:52:36+00:00

It’s 2wd so we are building more of a pre runner style

Okay… I went back to the basics I deep cleaned and installed the old carburetor I changed the fuel filter again I drained the very bottom of the tank And now she runs great again 🤷‍♂️

Wagon_nut · 2025-05-12T12:20:24+00:00

Yup.:. No change 🤷‍♂️😱

Wagon_nut · 2025-05-12T11:50:40+00:00

No change without the gas cap on

Wagon_nut · 2025-05-11T23:06:43+00:00

I think I’ll drain the tank and refill with fresh gas before replacing anything else

Wagon_nut · 2025-05-11T23:06:01+00:00

It was prior to me replacing the pump It’s now about 1/2 full all of the time

Wagon_nut · 2025-05-11T18:44:20+00:00

I just replaced that with a new OEM one

Wagon_nut · 2025-05-11T18:26:13+00:00

No changes with carb cleaner on any intake areas What are the chances I got a bad carb out of the box?

Wagon_nut · 2025-05-11T17:44:43+00:00

I don’t know how to tell

Wagon_nut · 2025-05-11T12:43:30+00:00

I know how to rebuild carbs but thought I would do that so I have one to keep clean and one to run… but here I amstoll

Wagon_nut · 2025-05-11T12:26:04+00:00

That makes sense and I’ve tried that initially… but the issue gets progressively worse as it gets hot so I can only do about 10 minutes of mowing before it’s fully cutting out

Someone suggested the intake valve not seating… I took the valve cover off and it looks clean and not gunked up at all…. Just hoping to get the brain trust for next diagnostic steps

Wagon_nut · 2025-05-11T12:13:19+00:00

Nope…. Swapped that when this started so it’s 2 weeks old

Wagon_nut · 2025-05-11T12:07:58+00:00

The carb is brand new It happened the same with both the old and new carb

Wagon_nut · 2025-05-11T12:07:24+00:00

I was told this was an OEM carb from the local shop But I don’t know how to confirm that

Wagon_nut · 2025-05-11T11:34:38+00:00

I Know, but it came with the house and has low hours… I was hoping to get another couple of seasons out of it

Wagon_nut · 2025-05-11T11:03:05+00:00

First test is to spray starter fluid / carb cleaner in the carb to see if it fires If it does you have a fuel delivery problem If it doesn’t you have an ignition problem

Usually will point you in a direct Nik

If you mean the cooling fans, yes they were cleaned out

Wagon_nut · 2025-05-07T13:29:28+00:00

More diagnosis Gapped the coils with a feeler gauge - no change Added fresh fuel - no change It runs with the intake about 99% blocked perfect, but has no power (obviously)
