[JoeShmo65]

well like the subject said im having problems with my 22r engine in my yota, i can get the truck running in 1st and 2nd  but after bout 35 mph it starts to sputter and i noticed that when i poped the hood and looked in the fuel filter my carb was sucking up more fuell than was being supplied..... i need ur insite wat could cause this?? carb leak? bad fuel filter? need new fuell pump??  any insite would be great

o and heres the truck: http://board.marlincrawler.com/index.php?topic=33745.0

If you are asking what I think(there is very little fuel to carb, what do I do) then start with a new fuel filter.  If that doesn't do it, then go with a pump.  Unless the filter is totally shot, it'll usually run OK down low(low fuel requirement) and cut out up at higher RPMs.

well i got a new filter didnt help d@$# now a new pump i guess, and ya like u said it runs good in 1st and 2nd gear but as soon as i go over bout 2500 rpms and shift to third it starts to sputter or even somtimes die all the way

Have you checked to see if your floats are stucks, i know when i had a carbed S-10, the floats stucks and it did the exact same thing..

hold on..... popped the hood and saw inside the fuel filter and saw it was sucking more fuel?

you have a carb - did someone add an aftermarket fuel filter to your truck?

the carbed trucks have a white plastic fuel filter mounted above the gas tank.. or a big goofy black thing under the hood... how did you see inside of it?

idk but its a clear plastic fuel filter and the new one i just bough is clean plastic also  so i dont think its aftermarket and yes it was sucking in more fuel into the carb than was being put into the fuel filter from the gas tank

hmmmm maybe bc the engine i had on the truck before had an aftermarkter thing on the fuel like from the fuel pump to the carb, wen i looked at it more it was a fuel regulator for how many gallons of fuel went into the carb per min or hr or w.e it was but i didnt put it back in maybe ill do that 2morow

wat u mean a weber 32/36??

[Duffil]

stock carb or a weber carb.

[JoeShmo65 [OP]]

im pretty sure its stock, i took it off the engine that had the blown pisten bc the carb that was on it had a leek some where and i didnt wanna deal with it but thats just my guess

Post up a pic of the carb.  Also, there are few things that will senselessly drain your pocketbook than becoming a parts changer.  Borrow or rent a fuel pressure gauge and see how it's pumping.  Pumps aren't expensive, but if you keep buying parts it's gonna add up fast.  Most the guys under me are professional parts changers and it bugs the hell outa me!

[JoeShmo65 [OP]]

alright ill get a pic 2morow and post it and ya i dont like the change the parts but wen one part looks better ill change it and ya i been meaning to barrow a gauge from some one maybe i can find one around here
