Have the same problem on my 87 Toyota Corolla

You know im not really sure, I put in the leanest ones i have (for high altitude) and i forget the numbers, I'll be in there again in the next few months some time as to the carb is leaking gas somewhere into the intake, probly through one of the lead plugs but not sure yet, seems a common problem my back up carbs are doing it as well, I'll check the jet sizes when im in there and try and let ya know, and im going to make a video when i find where the leak is as well.

I've seen a few of these do something like that.. they may be scuffed up beyond brake fluid repair..I'd recomend trying the clear coat method if they are hard to find or ridiculous expensive. And it will bring them back to life but is a little more work and a bit more pricy. Heres the link for ya ..kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJuXdaRsZpKbobM

Well thanx!! And I'll have to get my how to rob a bank video up one these days!!

I do highly recommend not getting it on any paint in the video. But sometimes its better to have good headlights then not and it's safer as well to be able to see where your going. Some people dont have time or money or maby they've already over invested in a vehicle and need a cheap fix. If you like to spend a little more money and time or have hard to find lights to replace or you just dont like the brake fluid I'd recomend this video . kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJuXdaRsZpKbobM

@@mechmattldschannel4105 That video link you recommend is also not good. Why? That coating or sealant that they applied at the end is the single worst thing you can do to a polycarbonate lens. It always degrades, stains the lens, dries out and start peeling off, flaking off. Very costly and time consuming to remove. Manufacturers don't apply coatings or sealants. What makes you think you know more than they do? You don't. They don't do it, your shouldn't either.

Chill out man, he only provided an in a pinch option. No need to give yourself an ulcer over it.

@@dustinabou-sraje2865 "pinch option" ? It's not an option. Ever. I'm chill. Just trying to help people avoid a terrible mistake that will cost them lots of money. Terrible advise.

Sorry to hear that maby the inside is just foggy? I've done hundreds of cars with this and see them days, weeks, even years later still looking good. Also Somtimes they're scuffed up and need a different more timely costly repair but this does work on most cars. If your your lenses are that rough then I'd recomend this video here for a more proper but yet pricey and timely way. Although if the inside is dirty this wont work either. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJuXdaRsZpKbobM

For those really scuffed up and damaged covers.. oneskzbin.info/www/bejne/mJuXdaRsZpKbobM

Actually these ones look like glass but they are plastic, and i have done quiet a few different cars from Honda ,kia, mazda, toyota and they all came out great.

Makes me feel better that more people are seeing where there going clearer and safer!!

@@mechmattldschannel4105 only takes 20 minutes to do it properly FFS. Some things in this world can be rushed when in a tight spot but this? It's a slow forming problem so frankly when and Where's the need to rush it? Pathetic reply by the way...

@@lennycook206 He presented it. Don't like it, move on. For all those who need a quick fix, it appears to help even if for a short time. What's the link to your 20 minute method?

That old truck had a lota lights on, i did a few cheater wiring fixes on it, haha!! Its retired now though..

I think it was in the middle a winter that day.

What a Dick Rick. I worked night shifts for over a decade. I wear sunglasses everday even when it's overcast & my eyesight is better than anyone else I've ever met during all my 50 years. I can literally read the bottom line of an eye chart. That's the one with the manufacturers name & patent number. I bet you can't?

sorry to hear that. I've seen a few headlights that just cant be cleaned up.. sometimes the seals leak causing the inside to be dirty as well.

@@mechmattldschannel4105 yeah I sprayed WD 40 on mine and that cleared them up pretty good. I don't know how long that will last though

@@toddistre781 thats great I'll have to try that.. wd-40 works great for many things it even helped me take off the residue from some really long lived duck tape off some metal.. So if you really want to fix the headlights proper though there is some videos on how to use ultra fine sand paper and then use some clear coat spray and they'll come out like new but that seems more money and time then what the new ones probly cost.

@@toddistre781 WD-40 trick works between 1-3 weeks than you'd have to reapply. It's quick, simple & safe. As long as you don't think hitting it more than a handful of times a year. May try this brake fluid on 1 headlight & compare it to WD-40.

That's a good idea. I will do that and see which one works better

Thats a very good insight, and i had questioned that myself, but it seems to be good as long as its kept on the headlight lens itself.. I've done a few cars that still seem to be good 5 years later. One of them is a family's members car i did about 4 years ago. Although i wouldn't recomend doing it if it does not need it.

@@mechmattldschannel4105 good enough Dear

It should work unless its on the inside of the lens, but I've seen a couple headlights that needed a 2nd or 3rd treatment..

You know i bought thta one from Rock auto and it had wrong peices and was just a mess.. but i managed to fix it all right and the one good thing was the throttle bushing were replaced. But there is a guy who does the throttle bushing in oregon i think, he has them mailed there and fixes them up then mails them back. I can get ya the number if ya want.

@@mechmattldschannel4105 I’ll try a simple rebuild kit first I guess.

@@jimstenlund6017 a new trick or 2 i learned is to take an old ball bearing and Litely tap it in its home to make a clean seat for the new one, another thing im looking at is there ia some lead inserts that can leak gas into the intake, there is some videos to show how to fix it on you tube. I'd also recommend an electric fuel pump as to the gas nowa days seems to vapor lock at lower temperatures, i had to lower the temp on my thermostat as well and also threw in a aftermarket fan controll unit, it enables me to adjust when the fan comes on. Maby ill make a videos of all the mods on my tercel in the next few weeks when i have time. Feel free to check out my video on how to fix the blow by issue, i just uploaded it 2day as well, its an easy fix for the tercels.

@@mechmattldschannel4105 I’m thinking of hood hinge spacers to raise the back of the hood for more ventilation/get rid of some heat.

@@jimstenlund6017 i had one i put hood scoops on a few years back.. it did help but also caused some problems with dust and when it snowed.. thats a great idea though cause you could take them back off easy if needed.

It took me quiet a few times to get these carbs correct they are quiet intricate with all the solenoids and power valves and check ball bearings. Good luck my friend happy tercel days, haha!!

@@mechmattldschannel4105 Thanks! It's been 5 months since i've made that comment, and my carb is back on the car, ready to start. Haven't tried to start it yet, though.

@@adelaideautowashes I'd love to hear how it works once ya get it going.. best of luck on that !!

@@mechmattldschannel4105 Good news! The car runs now.

If i make it that way we'll have to meet up. I love to the the old tercels still running..

Those can be a trick but really all they do is work when the car is cold to make them run richer and when they warm up it doesn't do anything. But they can leak when they get old . Usually the rebuild kits should come wih a new one and fairy easy to change.

Thanx for you comment, and yes i do have a bit a lift info; if you get the FRONT shocks for a jeep cherokee i believe the mid to late 90s model, they will fit on the back shocks of the 4wd tercels,(im going with air shocks for them soon)theres a bushing where bottom bolt on the jeep shock that you will have to pull out to make it fit...easy shmeeesy and it will allow for an easier lift with some stiffer springs on the back and also some nice extra drop down travel for the when the wheels drop down 4wheelin, i think my one 4wd video on here i posted actually shows the rear wheel dropping way down while 4wheelin it, i also put spacer washers on the tranny mount to drop the tranny just a hair, to allow the drive shaft to keep straight with the new ride height.... On the front i just put some simple 2 inch spacers between the strut tops and the unibody, and will need fresh alignment ,couldnt do much more then that properly with out moding out all the suspension and drive train, big diff though!!! Good luck... I'd love to hear how it all turns out, or even see another a tercel vid!!!

Also if your running a turbo just make sure to put it beetween the carb and the intake not before the carb cause that wouldn't work to well, cheers!!

If you wash the car can this destroy the paint??

@@markosstf6140 use transmission fluid to shine up old paint

@@markosstf6140 usually this gets wiped off and soaks in before the cars get washed, but i haven't had any complaints yet and have done many of my friends cars. You should be good just keep it from directly hitting any paint ..

Good to hear it worked good for ya!! Definitely watch out for the dangly rag haha!!! Feel free to check my latest video on my oil blow by trick i invented, gonna try and put it up tonight. Cheers my friend!!

@@Thats_Alexander thats great stuff and it works cause I've actually done that.. and when it rains it leaves pretty rainbow swirls on the ground around the car when its still wet!!

Those are sweet cars, i miss my 82 Corolla..i can't really say any facts but skinnyer tires make less friction and better fuel mileage, there may be some tricks with the EBCV, maby if you could rig up a second or third EBCV off a gas vapor tank or something...i think there's a KZbin video of a guy running a lawnmower on fumes ,it's kinda the same concept....it'd need some experimenting though..not sure of I'd mess with the jetting too much unless you understand jetting and air fuel ratios..the most i could say is less air restiction the better mileage, including exhaust restrictions, you could run a bigger air filter , but would have less suction on the jets, so you wanna run a bigger or more rich jet and still keep your mixture correct, ....good luck on that, it is possible, let me know if your able to find something that works!!

Im south near Boise, but hitting up some dirt biking in southern Utah at the moment!! Love that big sky country!! I cant wait to get in those mountains again...hows the weather looking up there?

Back and forth but it's getting better. We've still been getting snow but I live a few miles from glacier national park in Hungry Horse and we never have sun anyways.

There are so many unseen sightings at night while people sleep...i lived in a vehicle with a moon roof for a while and witnessed countless sightings all over the western side of the states..too bad we didn't have the camera technology like we do know but back then...

terceldude
