  • The engine was out of an 1984 Toyota Tercel, the engine has sat for 10 years. I am showing in this video a start up, and some prep work on getting the engine running.
    This engine is carbureted, the only electronics are inside of the distributor for the ignition also the alternator has a built in regulator. There are only a couple of wires to get this engine running, these engines were said to be very reliable in there day. The video is just a very basic start up of an older engine not intended for experts. Thanks for Watching. Check out my newer videos the channel has evolved and there's lots of new projects.

    1997 and. back they are tough as nails. Use to drive a lot in my business. Proper maintenance and they'll go close to 400k without a lot of trouble. The amazing thing about them is if you tear one down and look at the cylinder well even with 250 K miles you can still see the cross hatching on the cylinder walls amazing metals they use to use in the castings. Corollas had one of the best Engines Toyota put out

    I have a 1980 Corolla Tercel with 55,000 orig. miles. Love the engine in these cars. Super easy to work on.

    Great video! I've always been worried of taking on larger engine projects other than simple single cylinder engines. Very educational on setting out the basics for an old engine c:
