Hi all.
Had a problem with my exhaust recently - wasnt bolted on correctly. Sorted the problem out, but now when I start from cold, it holds idle. The minute I give a bit of fuel, then it bogs down and dies... I cant give any gas at all for about 3 minutes, after that its fine - any suggestions? Overfueling? Underfueling?
Thanks.

Sounds like the carb might need a good going over. Is this the 2Y engine? Were you able to find out any specs on it?

Yes, its the 2y. Only real specs I've been able to find is the timing - 8 degrees. Other than that, I cant find anything else!!

I was the one to suggest 8° in the Community Forum, but don't take that as Gospel, it was just a starting point.
Seems no-one has any info on this engine. Have you tried asking a Toyota Dealer for the info? They are usually quite helpful.

I'm pretty sure i is working....
It was working fine until I drove into the garage, re-bolted the exhaust and restarted it. Thats when it decided NOT to work decently.
