futar Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 This is my second Toy MH with the carburetor 4 cylinder. They both have the same weird problem. If the vehicle is off for any length of time it is hard to start. A little starting fluid and it starts quickly. I remember years ago being told that the gas drains back from the carburetor when it sits. Anyway, is there any way to remedy this problem? I am selling it ( I have a newer six cylinder one) and want to make sure it is in good operating condition. Thanks for any help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picklebill Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 I had the identical problem with my 1982 Toyota Sunrader. I took the top off of the air cleaner and found that when the engine was cold, the choke plate did not quite close all the way - there was about 1/16" of clearance between the choke plate and the carb bore. When I removed the entire air cleaner assembly, the choke snapped clear shut. I think one of the vacuum hoses must have been hitting the choke arm - I starts right up now, even after sitting for a month. I hope you find the problem!
