Mechanical fuel pump

Post by Swidz777 »

Hello to all and to all be well.
My first time here, thank you for having me.

I have recently both a 93 4y 2.2 hilux 4x4, the previous owner had it running on propane gas :shock2: but i have disconnected it but he also changed out the carburetor and in an American one so the original carb is gone, i will be buying an original carb soon but my issue is the other day i was driving and it violently started to hopping, jutting forward i clutched in rolled for a bit put it in second 20m more it did it again but cut out this time. I let it sit for a few minutes then tried starting it, it splutter to a start then idles perfect so ok ill go home but not 50m up the road it start hopping again, it took me nearly 15 starts to get home. I think because it had propane gas the mechanical pump was working but restricted.
The carb needs to go but for now its working.

Im grateful for all your mechanical knowledge.
Thank you
Kind regards
Adrain
