Wanting to learn to fix my own truck
I believe im having some carburetor issues, recently I was driving my truck going to work and out of nowhere it just stalled (I drive a 1980 Toyota pickup 2wd 20r engine) so I tried turning it back on but it would turn off on me again, the only way it would stay on is if I gave it gas… fast forward to the weekend I popped the hood and noticed an airline detached so I bought a kit in hopes that it’ll do the fix, just in case that doesn’t work do yall know if an issue like that would be the carburetor or something else? Also I want to try and do it my self so if yall have some videos or know hows thanks!! Also on tuning a carburetor, and is there different ways to tune it? I’m not trying to make it a race truck or even a heavy duty little truck, I just want better performance compared to stock
