5Toyota

I think I would replace that valve. I had an old bbq tank like that I got rid of it.

how about that good but very nasty to use black brush on permetex 300 my can says good for 5000 psI. never used it for propane myself I like it for outside galvinised pipe or air lines . eng water pumps etc says on can for all kinds of oils fuels. I have used on gear carrier rear end . nasty to use but really seals

I have had on other Toyotas the belt driven fan clutch to freze lock up was ingaged full time . in winter would not warm up . they can also fail and cause overheating by slipping all the time.

I see you have a tag axle there might be another whole unit for sale in Yakima. has been setting for years . I will check and see if they still have it a party I know I was told they want to get rid of it. I have 87 dolphin 4 cycl auto. in Yakima.

got an old well tank around take air fitting off that.

not on my camper have a small homemade light bar I made on my 88 4WD xtra cab. bolted to the top of the bumper.

I believe that have seen them burn up . and seen burned units in the local junk yards. also plenty on fire dept you tube.

sounds to me like brakes not releasing all the way . can even be caused by not being bled properly.

my dad bought a brand-new 1971 vw used to put one tank of gas a month in it they were retired . sold it in 1994 23 years later it had 40,000 original miles. and was kept in a garage.

if your battery wires have line fuses in the battery box . some do picts would help negative wires have to go on the ground neg post positive wires must be on the positive post.

the biggest safety thing to make sure of that it has a full floating six lug one ton rear axle. many were built with the the very light duty five lug rear axle. those axles break off and have caused bad crashes. read axle facts on here and welcome. unless it is one of the super small light wt models it must have the heavy duty rear axle. and welcome to the group.

haven't seen one of those in a while as I recall they used to use those for radio static reduction. but I remember the old round metal case ones. that looks to be the same thing. don't know why it would effect the engine.

engine is pretty much a Tecumseh lawn mower engine.

that looks pretty neat linda

I just bought one red bargmen lens for about eight bucks. local rv dealer has them by the each.

you will enjoy and that is very nice.i want to here how it fills and how it all works.

one can only wonder what the people who dreamed up this pice of junk where thinking. but I need a truck load of these. to take to the junkers. so I can spend the money on camping lol. got to be the only good place for them. TOTEM enjoy simplcty and plenty of propane.

very good important info. I knew about new tank purging . but did not think about used tanks. I feel shure the place he took it would of done it right.

let us know about purging it. I never heard about that. all I know he filled it up after I fixed it and it worked great

well on the one I did I never heard anything about purging or thought about. as far as I know I put the new bleeder setup and filler neck on and he took it and said it filled up fine.

if you don't have that I think it should have come with it but those help parts sections in the parts stores have things like that and it should not cost very much.

on my 88 4WD XTRA CAB which has way way more miles then my dolphin and I run mostly local use . I kept fowling the plugs and getting ruff idle iwent to one number hotter plug. and fixed the problem .Do you think your new head valve job could have raised the compression on old rings have you pulled the plugs and checked them.

got to be old like me to remember those cars . and that is a very neat tool I did not know about that tool.

I would say could be timing but there is plug under the hood on the right side you have too short 2 points together in it . because some of the timing is computer controlled . and you can then use a timing light and losen the distributer. and turn it I had a very simler problem to you on my other Toyota 87 4WD XTRA cab.jd CAN MOST LIKLY DIRECT YOU BETTER THEN I CAN. or wme

if the valves are tight it will eventuly burn the valves and or the valve seats because they do not close all the way.
