Well, it's been a trouble-free summer with my old CJ. After fitting the MC2100 carb in the spring, it's been clear sailing. Doors off most of the...
Well, winter is finally winding down here in the finger lakes. this weekend was the last blast. So far I've survived my first winter with my 80...
Well, Well, Well! It seems that the MC1200 supply is in demand in this area as well. My u-pull-it run turned up about 8 potential vehicles, all...
Hmmm. A bit more searching has shown that I really want to look for a 1.08. I think I'll do a u-pull-it run and make a check before I go ahead...
Yes. This is the original carb off of my 67 Galaxie 500 with a 390. "C" indicates 60s as the decade, "7" is the year thus "67" and the "AF" would...
OK! You're not gonna believe this one. On a hunch, I went out to the garage to see if I still had the 2bbl carb from my 67 Galaxie 390 from...
Strider, Does your carb have the foam floats? if so certian fuel additives can cause them to "sink" I put injector cleaner in my carburated 85...
Thanks for the link Lynn.. I'll definatly be looking into that idea. jpflat2a, Yes metering needles adjusted as per book, and fuel return system...
Here we go again.. My Jeep is a 1980 CJ5 with the 258 and a carter 2bbl pre emissions carb. I can't remember the designation off the top of my...
Welcome from another 1980 CJ5 owner. Mine is a 258 Inline 6 with the 4 speed manual trans. Haven't calculated the mileage yet, but I'm guessing...
Yup, yup. I second Typically smoke is as follows. Blue= oil Black= fuel (too rich) White=coolant
OK. I got to go for a drive today. first drive, running progressivly worse as it warmed up. Skipping at idle, but not dying out at every red light...
Update... Definatly did not have a stuck float needle. But the float level was off a bit. I rebuilt the carb, making sure to clean out the idle...
I have the non-electronic carb. No solenoids. just an electric choke. I have checked for vacuume leaks by spraying carb cleaner around the carb...
The accelerator pump is inside the carb, so you're gonna at least have to take off the top to inspect it. If you have to take the carb off, do...
That's fine in the filter.. It's probably just how it is in there. If you want to test that, disconnect the fuel line at the carb and stick it in...
Well, I've been driving the CJ as a daily for 2 and a half weeks now. I'm lovin' it. But it's runnin like a heap of you-know-what. The 258s got a...
Might be a dust shield touching the back of the rotor (disc brakes) or rust on the lip of the drum contacting the backing plate (drum brakes). May...
I'd gladly give $20-25 for 1.... I need a spare! anybody? anybody? hehe
OK.. I got it up on the lift today to put the last exhaust hanger on,(tailpipes are nice!!!) and check the U joint.. I had to borrow a 1/4" 12...
