Looks like the replacement used front left (short) axle swap cured the popping. Also measured the front lift and it is ~2 inches (2.5" on the...
Well - - after a long 7 months and a 12 week+ delay (for a rear axle seal) from a Mini Truck parts source in the US (name withheld unless you PM...
Well - it's been a very UNprodutive time for the HiJet. I AM STILL WAITING on a rear axle seal from Mike at SuperMiniTrucks. I've been waiting for...
Battery box cover stills available? I'd be happy with some aftermarket/ DIY solution as well. Thanks
I picked up a few but have not had a chance to install them. MAYBE this weekend - if I'm lucky.
I would imagine there is a worn or dried O-Ring seal causing oil to leak around the distro shaft. Google 'oil in the distributor' and look at the...
I got my replacement carb from Don at Yokohama as well. I have a couple of U Joints on the way.,... HOPING that's the issue. Time will tell.

Well - the beast is running and idling. Some good info on this forum (splauchs and others) suggested long ago that I test with a different tank...

I haven't gravity fed the gas from the tank directly to the carb.... but I did eliminate the stock steel fuel lines and rubber lines. I pulled the...
I'll try to set up a gravity feed feed and catch bucket for the return soon. I'm no carb guy either - easy to see that, huh?!? Keep the info...
Well.... just an update.... I was able to start the HiJet yesterday afternoon. I just pressed the gas pedal to the floor and cranked away. It...

Here are some picts of my original carburetor. Since my problems persist, I doubt there is anything wrong with the original one. I'll probably...
Before I get flamed for over posting to my own thread... Let me repeat that I'm doing this to document my learning process and my own HiJet...
Considering I have no clue where the gas cap vent might be, I am soaking the stock cap in some detergent and water over night. I might resort to...
After charging the battery more and putting the charger back on Start Boost mode..... It finally turned over 3 or 4 times. No start but at least...
