Thanks for the reply Scerb. My trip was postponed about a week so I went ahead and rebuilt the carb. It only took a few hours. The cleaning is definently the longest part of the rebuild. By the way, your website regarding the 22R carb is definently hepful. It has been many years since I rebuilt a carb and this one was the first Toyota one I have done.

After the rebuild, the truck fired right up (after filling the bowl of course) and ran great. The only problem is that it seems to idle a little bit high. Also when I let off the gas, the engine does not slow down quite as fast as it used to. When I turn off the ignition, the engine diesels a little bit also. I imagine that the little bit of dieseling is due to the high idle, but I am not positive.

When I did the rebuild, I did not make any adjustments to the idle. As a matter of fact, the factory plug is still in place. I saw no reason to mess with it. The float was also perfect (factory settings) when I measured it and did not do any adjustment (the fuel level in the glass is perfect). So basically all I did was clean and replace gaskets.

I guess my qustion is, what should I do regarding the high idle before actually prying (drilling) the plug out and messing with the factory settings?
