  1. YJ Wrangler Technical Forum
    Still new at this… been trying to get my yj going for days. Installed fuel tank, new dizzy (gm performance). Starts rough with foot on gas sometimes then shuts off. Will just crank… I’ve got spark and I believe timing is correct… everything is in position, I’m lost and can’t figure this out...

    Over the past 3 weeks I have torn apart the top end of my 304 and put all new seals and gaskets. I also did the oil pan while I was doing everything. Well, I put it all back together primed and cracked, and she started right up. Then I noticed a pin hole in the water pump. So out everything...

    So recently I had a MC2100 on my 304 and it ran well except for it backfiring and bogging when accelerating more than nothing. I had an Edelbrock 1406 laying around and decided to rebuild it. Followed a video and pretty sure I did it right. Slapped the 1406 on the 304, no spacer and correct...

    So I just got this 85 CJ7 with a 304 amc in it. This is my first amc engine, and first one I've done really anything with. I know enough about engines to build them, but not enough to hook them up really. So my problem is that recently I replaced the cam and lifters because I had a flattened cam...

    I just installed a new precision brand mechanical fuel pump in my 1989 Jeep YJ Islander. It has a Weber 32/36 dgv carb and inline 6 cyc engine. When I start the carb is filling up with gas and running out the overflow tube. Some background: Jeep was stalling at stop lights and slow...

    Hello everyone! I just recently purchased a 67 CJ5. All things considered it's in pretty great shape. I do have one big issue right now, though. The manual choke cord is not working. I tried to film a video so you could hear what it sounds like when giving more gas than idle and it chokes out...
  7. YJ Wrangler Technical Forum
    I've got an issue where when I try to start my car, the carb fills up and spills gas everywhere....So the history. I'm in the midst of putting on the old carter 2 bb carb that came with the jeep. I previously removed it and installed a motorcraft 2150 and did the nutter bypass which worked...

    Hey guys, first post so bear with me. I have a 1977 CJ5 with inline 6C 4.2L engine. The body is in great shape, but i'm having some motor issues. It starts and runs, but backfires very often when I give it some gas. The muffle is "footballed" out so I know i'm replacing that ASAP. I've been...

    All I've pulled the carb and looking to rebuild myself. I've never done a rebuild before and need help from the experts. First, what all needs to be removed before immersing the carb in solvent? Second, what should be reused and what should be replaced? Do I need to replace the electric...

  14. YJ Wrangler Technical Forum
    My 1988 wrangler seems to be running too rich- you can smell it in the exhaust, and when I floor the gas while stationary the engine stalls. Ive got an edelbrock 1406 carb, and ive tried adjusting it but if i turn the screws any leaner, the engine starts to sputter and die. Vacuum is around...
  15. Jeep CJ Forum
    I am new to owning a a jeep. Just bought a jeep that has been sitting for awhile. I need to know what carburetor was stock on this jeep. I think that someone put stuff on here that isn't supposed to be on it and messed it up. How do I find out information on what parts are supposed to be this jeep?

  17. Jeep CJ Forum
    I'm fixing up a '78 CJ5 and for the life of me I can't find the name or the part online to replace. If you lift the hood and look at the carb it will be in the back left corner of the carb. It's almost like a fuel line, it comes off one spot in the carb and bolts into the engine block and the...

    I searched and cant really find what my problem is. I got a rebuilt motorcraft 2100 for my 86 cj straight 6. I bought a carb kit from that guy off ebay gronk. He sells a good kit and so far the hardest thing to do was come up with a way to remount the throttle linkage (I felt like i was building...
