Hi Bill,
My 78B had a Mikuni on it when I got it. First, here is where I got parts
for it... well, I got a Jet kit.
Select Sales
5411 N.W. 72 Ave, Miami, FL 33166
(305) 888-2828
Complete line of performance parts for Toyotas including big valve
heads for the
4AGE, Weber/Mikuni carbs, Wiseco pistons. Excellent prices.
Second, my car had very similiar problems. After getting the Jet kit I was
able to get it running great. I have a tuning manual that I used, but it
basically came down to trial and error. Stick in some jets, drive, go up or
down a size, drive... took a while but I got it.
I could copy the tuning guide and send it to you, but I am missing the
diagram explaining what each jet is and where it is. I have someone else who
is wanting this info as well, so what I may do it draw it and post it to my
website. Actually, I may just scan the tuning guide and post it to my site
as well so I can point others to it.
Mike
