all i can say is it worked for 14 years on my 1977 20 r corona wagen that was a w50 5 speed never had a problem . 1978 motor home also l43 4 speed. a re you talking auto trans . used bosh reman. i also had the factuery toyota green cover book showed both. asked the parts guy he said no problem and i never had any. last for way over 100.000 miles no problem.

if you have an older 1970s 20r you could get rid of that gear starter . and put on a convential larger simpal strait starter . the 20r used eather starter . both where interchangeable.

most often i have found cleanup the disc end of the solened plunger and those 2 copper contacts will be pitted or even worn down replace those most often its fixed . the old dead key syndrome.
-
i think its a 20R

thanks for that info i did not think that angle of it but have had the ends come lose . and they will pass a ohms test but fail a real load test .

if you have those old type glass fuses i would take them all out and replace with new . even if they look good that type can still be bad. somtimes they even fall apart inside but still look fine. make shure to replace with the correct size . i have had this happen too me. took advice from old time toyota mecinec he new what he was about .

i just a few weeks ago solved this same problem on my dolphon 1987 i left a post on here about . i installed 2 11 pound short tanks propane tanks these are about 2 1/2 gallons each . cost a little over 100 dollors plus new pigtails and a tee both together is 22 pounds of propane works great made 2 trips already 9 days total.. you can buy a tee and hose extend a flow i think its called hook a standup bbq tank on the ground tee in the onboard tanks . those 2/1/2 are working great for me . the china made horazontal tank is 150 dollors . the manchester is 450 dollors . i replaced a 1973 lay down tank.
-
replaced the 4 in my dolphon with the 5 no mods in my case .hand flush was a little cheaper . at local dealer. water flow is improved in the newer model.

update 5 day camping trip new propane set up worked very well

i wanted to quit using very old 1972 dated horzontal tank . dot cylinder type. new horzontal tank at the local shop 20 pound. 400 smackers . special order only. manchester. some outher brand made in china 150 to 200 not avalable anywhere anyway. so i went to the local discount store wich is bimart 70 some stores in the north west.for 150 dollors i bought 2 11 pound about 2 1/2 gallons each squaty upright tanks. they fit perfectly. installed a tee on my regulater and 2 new quickconnect pigtales . and problem solved . cost a little over 200 dollors .

hi all i havent been on in a while . i have delt with this problem . fixed a freands itaska . yes you can buy a kit cost at the time some years ago 50 bucks. includes a new filler neck and a new standred bleeder screw . he bought the kit at a rv place but the rejected the liabilty of installing it . so i did it for him he could not fill his tank at all. worked great .

my 87 dolphon pict at left is model 400 22rec automatic has been fine for us . had 67000 org miles when i bought it 7000 500 dollors. i dont use the overdrive . and some back country roads i shift manual like a stick. prefere stick have a sr5 4wdxtra cab truck as well same power plant . the moter home is the only auto i have had of 7 toyotas 2 moterhomes . keep the four cyclinder reved up . but not over reved . luging kills the engine and trans by heat . national rv put on xtra trans cooler .never had a 6 and dont want or need one for me . 4 in a row is the way too go. when you buy old used cant be too pickey. besides i am old some what shiftless lol. auto i think the auto is better in city trafic with the moter home you have a lot too watch as it is .

yes i am sorry i forgot to say yes you will have to raise it . but also need it raised then you nee d a jack to raise and lower the tank. my freands have a farm shoup they had some masiv e heavy wood ramps i was able to put the rear tires on . used a big floor jack too lower and raise the tank i did not unhook it all the way just stuff hoses down from fill hole h ock on tank use new clamps .

i have replaced the filler hose and the small vent hose .on my 87 dolphon . and previous 1978 minmax . in both cases the main filler hose was dry rot and craked . gas fumes inside rv could make a boom boom . shure was at the least sickning . no special tools do not use raderater hose gas will eat it out . that is why this neoprene fuel tank hose sold by the inch . not by foot bought mine at napa auto parts . the modern hose is better made . these tanks have drain plugs on the bottom . you need a good size floor jack .to loor the tank up and down . unhook tank unhook hoses from tank . unscrew the screw at the filler pull hoses out . do this job outside if possable . bad gas fumes come out of the tank . i did myn almost up too the outlet did not drain . but the tank was heavy better almost empty .take old hose with you to order most dont stock it. the vent hose is standred gas vent hose . not a big deal on the little one .
