Yes it seems to be giving me better fuel consumption. On a 65 litre tank I got 500km with 5 people in the car and 300kg of stuff in the back. That is IF...... and a big if, I drive nicely. So not a massive increase but still much better then the 5.5km/l I was getting.

pampoen

Guys just a little more info on tuning the carburetor enhancer, once you have all the stuff on the carb start the engine with the tap fully closed, slowly open it until the engine wants to die, back it off slightly until the engine runs smoothly again. Take the vehicle for a spirited drive around th...

Sorry about the wait. Here are the pics.I used a fish tank air restrictor as the valve for the system.

Well since I installed this little mod I have seen an increase of 2.2km per litre over and above my current fuel economy, instead of 5.5 I am getting 8km/l. I have a gas flowed head with a branches and free-flow exhaust, I am not sure if these contribute to the engines fuel economy. Also the engine ...

So the guys still driving the old Hiluxes with the old 22r and 4y motors will appreciate this mod the most. A while back I found this website. eagle-research.com I am not affiliated in any way here, I was simply looking for a way to get better fuel economy, turns out I found the cheapest way to 8km/...

Does anyone have a 22r dizzy or 22r vacuum advance available? I am in desperate need! Also does anyone know if the 4y vacuum advance would work with a 22r dizzy?

pampoen

Can I make a strong suggestion to get more then one opinion on the problem before you go the EFI route. Yes EFI is awsome but the route there could leave you without your bakkie for a long while and with conversions there are always the hidden costs/mistakes/problems. Your bakkie has only recently s...

You said it dies when pushing brakes, I had the same problem. I could not figure it out, almost bought a new carb. It turned out to be my fuel filter was blocked but nor completely, somehow when I braked the debris would move and block fuel to the engine. Perhaps replace your fuel filter? You never...

pampoen

Also check your fuel solenoid, sometimes especially when old they like to get stuck. I can send pics if you need but all you need to do is unscrew it and spray some wd40 to get it loose, mine still occasionally gets stuck even after cleaning, I have to turn off and on to get it to switch off sometim...

You could try the stealers? Otherwise find a reputable carb rebuild centre like the one in Paarden Island here in Cape Town. Just for interest sake, what kind of economy do you get? My 22r gets around 6 to 5.5 around town. 7.2 on the open road under 120km. These carbs are interesting with their vari...

Hi guys,

I am in need of a vacuum advance for my 22R. All my membranes are shot. If you have an old dizzy lieing around and want to make some cash let me know pls!!! I have asked Allen Venter to keep his eyes peeled but even he doesn't have any available.

Thanks in advance.(No Pun Intended)

Flip dude you showed that jeep what for

love it!

Wheel bearings? Perhaps just jack the vehicle up and check the play also take time to look at all the steering joints etc. You may find the source of the problem.

Just thought I would post this here, there are some highlights from the Atantis Fun day, footage courtesy of Van Rhyn du Plessis

So I took both boxes out myself and sent it to the local gearbox centre R1800 for all seals and to reseal where the box had been leaking in the middle. Way less hassle and stress and they even pickup and deliver.

pampoen

My apologies, It is a 22r. Thanks Mud Dog, just the info I needed. Yes the lower end doesn't feel like the old 4y I used to drive. It hits its power peak at about 3500 RPM. Mud Dog, did your cam have a slight miss while idling?

pampoen

So some of you might have remembered that a while ago I took my bakkie to carb spares and sales in Paarden Island to have the carburetor rebuilt. It never was 100 percent right so I brought it back today to them to take a look at. After a CO test and a test drive it was discovered that the bakkie ha...

I took the bakkie to have wheel alignment done today and the guy didn't know how to set it properly. Apparently all you can set is the toe on the front axle. The Camber and Caster was set when the bakkie was built. Looking at the alignment machine I was shocked to see how far out of alignment it was...

pampoen

Well I would definitely interested in this because it looks like I will prob be doing the same very soon, especially if I want to get the vehicle through road worthy legally.

pampoen

I thought it might be that, I absolutely agree with you on the doing it properly thing. I am starting to worry as I did a service about 2 months back when I had the carb issues and checked oil the other day to find it almost empty. Topped it up and went to cape town city from Gordons Bay and back, t...

Hi guys, I did do a little research on this prob and apparently it is a bushing or two that need to be replaced. Has anyone had any experience with this issue?

So my carb has been rebuilt by Carburettor Centre Address: 40 Section St, Paarden Eiland, Cape Town, 7405 Phone: 021 511 6819. I am very happy with the result and I would recommend him fully.

Well I have managed to find a carburettor rebuild centre in Paarden Island, the owner runs a turbo charged 2.2 carb double cab with 33's. They will rebuild the entire carb from the ground up. If he is good I will post pics but it looks really promising. He says he does on average about 3 hilux carbs...

As far as I remember I think the 22r has different jet sizes.

Just an update. The no starting issue was a dead dizzy, the module was fried, so on went a new dizzy and then I spent another few hours realizing that the main jet was completely blocked, cleaned that and walla! start. Now she revs up beautifully but It still sounds like it's missing as it idles. I ...

So update.... No start :frustrated: took tappet cover off and made sure it was bang on, it was 180 out like you said, so I set it back. Adjusted mixture screw 2 and a half turns out from fully in.

Thanks Mud Dog, REALLY appreciate the help man. I will try all that. For some reason I forgot that 4 stroke engines will have 2 tdc positions :shh: Just FYI when starting the bakkie this afternoon with the leads in their correct positions the bakkie sounded like the motor was jammed almost. Obviousl...

pampoen

No:( I have tested for spark on the coil. I cleaned the old dizzy and put it back, I rechecked firing order. My next job tomorrow will be to check for earth on coil but that is simply where it bolts to the engine bay I would imagine, check fuses and try again. Do you have any pearls of wisdom to add...

pampoen

Sorry sounds like a stupid question, but I had it plug 1 on cap 1,plug 2 to cap 2, plug 3 to cap 3, plug 4 to cap 4 and it would not start.

pampoen

Do you mean 1 on cap should go too 1 on plug, 2 on cap to 3 on plug, 3 on cap to 4 on plug and 4 on cap to 2 on plug?

Or does that mean 1 on cap to 1 on plug, 2 on cap to 2 on plug, 3 on cap to 3 on plug 4 on cap to 4 on plug?

I would be interested for sure. Count me in if we can get a few more buyers.

Guys I recently bought a new distributor as no one seems to sell the vacuum advance unit separately which was buggered.

Mud dog, just for interest sake, does the coil move? I did test and nothing. No heat or movement.

Just an update. I cleaned the tank, deleted the choke and double checked the vacuum lines which were completely wrong. Man what a difference! Smooth running and the bottom end feels so much better. The choke was just not working at all so I'll just have to live with cold starts in the mornings. Tnks...

If they don't bolt straight into the existing seat holes you will prob have to make new ones in the floor or fashion a bracket to bolt the seats to, that will bolt to the existing holes in the floor. You will have to make sure that the bracket is not too tall though, otherwise you might be sitting t...

pampoen

Mud dog, I agree 100% with you. Actually if I had the cash I would prob have a Lexus v8 vvti fitted and get better economy. But I thought it might be worth checking on any of the guys who had done this conversion if any are still around. It has been a few years since then.

Here is a post from Lindsay "The vw carb does suprisingly well on inclines and declines and todate have never had a problem, I have seen you at some of the 4x4 challenges and was told about the conversion by Johan Fourie who also takes part. evidently there are some of the guys in the club who ...
