weakyota91

i have been whellin my 91 E.F.I for about 4 years now but have decided to buy a straight axled toyota. all straight axle yotas r carburated (i know except 85 golden year) unless i get a S.A.S. my question is it a total nightmare to wheel a carburated motor v.s. a fuel injected as far as on steep inclines and uneven terrain. let me know what your opinion is thanks

I ran an 1981 that was fairly trail ready (44044s, 1/2 ton chevys, 35s, dual lockers). The carb became an issue on steep rocks, anything significantly off angle. If the truck died, it couldn't be restarted.

I was running a weber carb. I never tried to adjust it for angles, I just went EFI. There are a number of people that run carbs successfully, but they may need to be slightly tweeked in terms of float and overflow setup.

Its very much not average stuff that would cause a problem with a carb'd setup..

I'm running a carb.. 22r on my 87 but going to EFI soon as I can. Steep angles unless you're heavy on the throttle to keep the engine alive.

what happens is the carb begins to flood and the steeper you go the more it floods and eventually you just wont' be able to keep it running.

EFI.. doesnt do that.

In my experience it's been alot easier to keep my EFI engines running properly, than my carbed. I hate them and will never seek to own another engine with one. They suck off-road, unless you need them to not operate under extreme conditions.
