Thinking my coil on my 85 carb rig is breaking down. I have been looking for one like it and no luck this is the one I come up with it is a newer model and I know my ends are diffrent but I think I can splice in if it will work

WHITE_TRASH · « **Reply #1 on:** Mar 25, 2008, 08:47:44 PM »

Why splice it? Get the correct one from a wrecker or if need be I'm sure someone here has the correct one. The top one you posted is from a 94ish setup. It uses a small funky end that goes into the coil instead of the generic large setup like your current one uses.

mine looks like this one sorda..it is the lil short one but lays flat and seems like coil sticks up higher

ok found the right coil to go back on and doing same thing now what? aftere about 5 min after cranking it is like it starts lope like it has a huge cam and kills its self any ideas?

jimbo74 · « **Reply #7 on:** Mar 26, 2008, 03:25:38 PM »

how is the timing? it should not take 5 mintues to start....

what about your fuel supply?

porkchop · « **Reply #8 on:** Mar 26, 2008, 03:30:16 PM »

timing is dead on . it cranks perfect and purrs like a kitten then it just starts idle from like 1100 rpm to 200rpm then it kills it self

it might not take it 5 minutes but it starts acting up after like 2 minutes

porkchop · « **Reply #9 on:** Mar 26, 2008, 03:31:33 PM »

new fuel pump got good psi on it

emsvitil · « **Reply #10 on:** Mar 26, 2008, 03:41:31 PM »

Choke might be staying on.
Carb could be flooding.

porkchop · « **Reply #11 on:** Mar 26, 2008, 04:07:26 PM »

i thought that so rigged choke open and the carb does not seem to be flooding i have lowerd and raised the floats and looking at the lil window on the carb fuel level seems to stay good even when idels its self out

jimbo74 · « **Reply #12 on:** Mar 26, 2008, 04:17:45 PM »

does it actually stay running for any amount of time or dying as soon as it starts?

my truck dies as soon as it starts, running off of carb cleaner, there is no gas in my tank....

how is your fuel filter? that $5 part can cause all sorts of problems... how are the fuel lines? it is possible they are fouled or plugged in any way? what about the fuel outlet in the tank?
i remember lilbuddy having major carb issues for a long time.. he ended up somehow having a pine needle lodged in one of his jets!

porkchop · « **Reply #13 on:** Mar 26, 2008, 04:26:24 PM »

yeah it runs apporx 2-4 minutes after cranking it then starts going from 1100rpm to 200 rpm but it runs it will even set there and idle with loping then it will finally kill out. I got half tank of gas......lol replaced both fuel filters less than 3 months ago the one at tank and one going in to carb at motor I also put plugs it in yesterday with new cap and button all new jets not been on trail or no were sence had carb built. This sucks!!!!

Plugged up exhaust?

?

jimbo74 · « **Reply #15 on:** Mar 26, 2008, 04:50:01 PM »

what about vacuum leaks in and or around the carb?

since you are running a caarb, did you try and remove anything such as the egr or modify anything in that respect?

porkchop · « **Reply #16 on:** Mar 26, 2008, 04:56:24 PM »

no all i pluged off was the bs ones all the major stuff left alone. i can not hear any leaks everything thing looks kolsher on it. and everything is hooked up . I do not think exhaust plugged but hey i will try anything thanks

jimbo74 · « **Reply #17 on:** Mar 26, 2008, 04:57:48 PM »

try putting all those bs ones back and see if that changes anything... one of those bs ones may not be a bs one at all

bmxicanrivera · « **Reply #18 on:** Mar 26, 2008, 05:09:32 PM »

Did you try the propane trick (small torch NOT LIT) to check for vaccum leaks?

porkchop · « **Reply #19 on:** Mar 26, 2008, 06:25:39 PM »

did not check it that way but i will thanks

UPDATE I run compression test and rings are killed on #3 so I done got motor out and at machine shop crank is being polished just to get few fine scratches out. The head is gettting the once over at another shop had the block checked and it is good so just a lite honeing on it and pitions and rods in great shape. So I am going to go back with new bearings of course, polished crank , clean up and reuse rods and pistions new rings, crawl cam a little port and polishing and swithching over to 20 r dist. You all think of any thing I am missing or would do diffrent ? Keep in mind small budget were is best place for standard bearing and gasket set?

Homefries · « **Reply #26 on:** Apr 02, 2008, 07:38:04 PM »

I've dealt with them a couple of times since there sorta local and have not had any probs with the oil pump or timing set that I bought from them. I will do business with them again!

jimbo74 · « **Reply #27 on:** Apr 02, 2008, 07:54:56 PM »

good stuff, good guy too.... my timing set id from him, i jsut used lce guides.... engine is still going strong.... he uses good parts too... none of the felpro hg or anything like that... he uses MLS

when i did my hg, i went with OEM toyota, costs a little more, but i knew it was the best

Engnbldr.com com kicks butt. Ted knows his stuff too. I just finished my rebuild using his kit and cam. You'll be hard pressed to find anything bad about their stuff on the net.
