That's the reason, I got the truck cause the previous owner got into a pissing match with the referee and would not do any work, at all on the truck, even after the referee gave him a list of
Stuff that would make the truck run better, still no guarantee that it would pass smog, but it was a step in the right direction and showed he was willing to work on it, this went on 3 or 4 times
With out him doing any improvements until the had a physical confrontation, in the parking lot in front of the Smog referee's shop
And the police came out and had to separate them, cause the next business over called the police and witness them throwing blows
If he was willing to work on the truck, the referee would of been cooperative with him, they bumped heads and that was it
So they filed a a complaint against the previous owner and that ended the truck beaning legal in Ca
He was happy to sell it too me, cause I was from out of state and did not need the bullshit to be legal in Ca
Cause he tried to sell the truck a few times, until they found out about it not passing smog and the other problems the truck had, plus they would have to make all the repairs and go to another smog referee
And get the truck inspected and signed off after the bullshit with the referee
I had put new plugs and new plug wires and disturber cap and rotor, before I even left his house
Cause you could see the wires arcing and shorting out
Changing the plugs and wires, made a world of difference
And for the Toyota carb, I was told not too take it apart, cause I would never get it back together
Even if I could rebuild the Toyota carb, it would not function correctly with out replacing all of the smog shit
I was not putting that kind of money in it, nor was I going to junk yard to junk yard looking for smog parts, the Webber kit was a reasonable solution and same with removing the smog bullshit
Left the converter on the exhaust, so when I go out in the BLM land, or trails and fire roads, I'm legal and not starting fires
And if I sell the truck, I just sell it locally only or too some one in Nevada with no smog and its legal
