(No, I did not get my carb back from Kruzrtek; my family dug into savings and purchased an almost new carb off Ebay-it arrived a day ago or so despite my thinking it may not as the seller wasnt reposnding to any emails-whew! Thanks to whomever pointed me in to that auction; probably paid too much for it, but I needed my cruiser up and couldnt wait any longer, and besides, how often can you get an almost new shiny carb for relatively cheap? If I ever see my carb back from Rich, I'll sell it I reckon.)

I've been installing it today, and am now stuck though-I can't figure out how to hook up the linkage for both the accell cable and choke cable.

The part number is 21100-61142, and is the same (new) carb listing at both MAF and CCOT:

http://store1.yimg.com/I/coolfj40_1771_4008611

The carb is like it just came out of the box new, but it is slightly different than my old: there's another diaphram on the (vehicle)front side linked to connection near the front/bottom (that I'm not sure what it's for) with a vac connection that I'm not sure where to hook up at either (on the CCOT pic, the diaphram is on the left above the red part number stiker and to the left of the green electrical connection). My old carb didn't have either but I'm sure it was the original one it came with. Any explanation appreciated here.

I've gotton the linkage hooked up to the firewall, and then to short metal link at the end hooked up to the ball visible on the lower right of the CCOT picture which seems like it's supposed to be there. However, that leaves what seems to be the fulcrum of that same piece with nowhere to hook up to (is closer to the driver's side firewall....closer to you in the CCOT pic). I cannot remember whether my carb had different linkage-it's been too long since I've seen it.

I've looked at Sor's diagrams and it's not enough, my Haynes isn't helpful at all and my Emissions repro manual is not much help either.

What am I missing here? I may just be having a brainfart, but any help this close to me driving my cruiser after so long of being down would be *greatly* appreciated-thanks in advance folks.

Your the bastard that sniped me out of the carb :flipoff2: but seeing how you really needed it I feel better

I think you still got a good deal considering what a new one is ($600ish)

the extra diapram is for the AC, if you don't have AC you can use it as to bump up the idle, if not then just leave it unhooked it won't hurt anything.

the new OEM late 40 and fj60 carbs only come one way, with the AC. So you go the right one, leaving the vacumme off the diaphram is just fine

the vacumme switch for the AC is mounted on the headlight washer bottle, little black thing, I forget where it gets vaccume from, but it can be anyplace. Other side goes to the carb/AC diaprahm.

I'll look at it more when I take pics.

Sorry I jacked up the price for ya, didn't mean to, in hindsight I prolly would have paid $400 for it.....but got cheap

Thanks folks.

Landpimp-that makes sense for the a/c. I have it on my 60 (won't drive a vehicle here in the summer without a/c) and since I;ve owned it this past summer, I've always wondered why the idle never did kick up a bit when the compressor cycled (and even more so why I couldnt find the kick up circut mentioned anywhere etc.) Where would the vacuum connection go to from the diaphram then for it to be operable however-just pull vac from anywhere using a "t" or something? (And yes that was me on the auction, though I really didn't snipe per se....I did however had to keep my max bid going higher and higher for that last min frantically cause of you and the rest...damn thing went up more than $125 in the last 60 secs alone! Damn you all Thank you for the good wishes despite it.) A pic would be wonderful-thanks.

Texican-thanks. A picture would be wonderful-I'll owe you (or anyone else for that matter) big time. You can send it to me at:
