The Co2 readings were off the charts. He said that it is getting to much fuel and choking. It runs fine sitting still, but gets a little funny under payload. Any ideas? I've been trying to find a new or rebuilt carb, with no luck:( Re: Wont pass smog.....

I know this has been discussed quite a bit and there are many who know that Mikuni Carb quite well. I'd say for starters, check all (ALL) your vacuum lines and make sure they work and aren't leaking. It seems to be one of the top failure area's in these older carbs. There are other things which I'm sure others will advise you on. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> Off Roader 98 Montero with the Winter Package 89 Montero minty clean and reserved for overlanding trips or Cars and Coffee events 96SR (3.15:1 xcase, 35's) gone to the rust gods 96SR Build Up Thread Old web page Old web page Re: Wont pass smog.....

New Cat 4. New plugs, use only NGK OEM plugs in the correct range. 5. Tune up and oil change use 20-50. 6. check all the vac lines by pulling one by one and checking for cracks on the back side. Many times the rubber has hardened and you need to cut off the bad part.

I am curious tho, someone told me this carb has a wax ring in it and if it goes south then the carb is no good...Is this true? Re: Wont pass smog.....

Cali smog checks drove me nuts. We don't have them over here! I used to go to Truckee for my smog checks. They were way cooler about helping get my 4x4 passed then anyone down in town. Just an idea. Good Luck! Re: Wont pass smog..... [Re: 1990Montero] #938026 04/05/09 03:36 AM Joined: Feb 2005 Posts: 7,458 Montero Ranch rxinhed Trail Leader My friend's uncle who rebuilt the carbs has passed on. Just for the record, the registration address dictates the smog requirement. Truckee still falls in the portion of the state that requires the emission testing. The link below goes to the smog program map, last updates in 2005. California DMV Smog Program Map When you get the carb figured out, you might address the catalytic converter too. A few head gasket blows will kill the catalytic material. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> 1987 Raider - Roxy 1988 Mighty Max 2.6L Turbo - Pearl 1997 Mountaineer V8 - Freddy 2000 Excursion V10 - Freya Page 1 of 2 1 2 Moderated by  4x4Wire, Macka, Mudraider, off-roader, PHIL_, rxinhed  Hop To Mitsubishi Forums ------  Mitsubishi 4x4 and SUV Tech  Mitsubishi Diesels  Mitsubishi ArchiveToyota Forums ------  Early Toyota Trucks  Toyota 4Runner, FJ Cruiser &...  T100 & Tundra Forum  Tacoma Forum  Toyota Tech ArchiveJeep Forums ------  Jeep Talk  Jeep TechIsuzu Forums ------  Isuzu 4x4 & SUV Talk  Isuzu 4x4 & SUV Tech  Isuzu DieselsKia Forums ------  Kia Talk  Kia Sportage & Sorento TechOff Topic Chat ------  4x4 Gallery  Off-Topic Chat  Recreational Access & Land ...  Politics4xForums ------  Outdoor Gear  General 4x4 Discussion  Tools and Fabrication  General Communications  Amateur Radio  GPS and MapsParts Bin ------  Private Party - Garage Sale  Private Party - Items wanted  Vendors, Hot Deals, Group Buys4x4Wire Back Yard ------  Suzuki Forum  AZ Crawler Crew  Cal-Nev Crew  General Ford 4x4 & SUV Forum  General Dodge 4x4 & SUV Forum  General Chevy 4x4 & SUV ForumFeedback & Testing ------  Problems, Questions, Suggestions4x4Wire Staff ------  Forum Moderators  Problem Threads Print Thread Switch to Threaded Mode 5 Excellent 4 Good 3 Average 2 Bad 1 Terrible View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts
