Running Poorly At Idle

I just found a chart for misfires at low speed only most of which I have already checked

 

Just out of curiosity. Do you have both 6 and 12 volt mixed together in your electrical system?

 

No this jeep is purely 12v and my other jeep is purely 6v.

Otherwise I could swap parts to known good ones

Unless the parts they gave me at oreilly are mixed since the boxes only said part number but werent listed as a voltage, my jeep is purely 12v

 

How old is your distributor?
If fairly old the bushing may be worn enough to cause the shaft to wobble, which will cause the rough idle.

 

Yes the issue is only during idle. It starts fine normal power no problems while driving whatsoever. If I keep the idle a little higher like pulling hand throttle couple knotches, then it idles higher but no problems. Rough idle also disappears when opening choke a little but I think that's only because it raises the idle too.

And the distributor best I can tell is the original but seems to be in really good shape and I couldn't feel any side wobble in the shaft

 

No ballast resistor on F-head.

 

So I just also replaced the modern style fuel filter I had installed between the tank and pump with another clear plastic modern style filter and new rubber hoses for it

I also just replaced the ignition switch

The jeep still isn't running right

How does one tell if there is water in the fuel? What do I look for?

I'm thinking my next step is to drain the gas tank and put some fresh gas in and try it.

After that I'm thinking take apart the carb and soak and clean and put it back together.

I'm running out of things to check

 

A can of Seafoam has helped cure or prevent fuel issues with my antique vehicles and small engines. It's a snake-oil that I've come to believe in.

 

During the video it didn't seem to be doing it. But then it started again after

 

The gas in my new filter and in my fuel pump bowl looks kind of milky not really yellow and not really clear.

When you say I will see it, what exactly will I be seeing? Could you describe what water would look like mixed with fuel? Will it be like 2 separate levels in the jar that looks different than each other or what?

 

It's going to be hard to work on it more this weekend it's raining pretty hard right now and news says tomorrow will be the same

 

To check for water drain gas into a gas jar. Spin jar in hand to make a tornado, you will see the water seperate from gas. Looks like little air bubbles.

 

Water in gas used to be obvious globs or a layer that separated and sank and collected at the bottom.

I think the situation is more complex with ethanol blends which absorb some water, but not all. It seems there is sometimes a fog or milkiness. Why I use Seafoam.

 

when you has a miss or idle problems, one of two things--ign.electical or carb. if your distributor is old, governor weights holes have ovaled out- spring tension- should not have open coils- end play should 0.010 to 0.015 if over that trouble is just beginning, for every0.013 over you gain 5 degees advance on timing. look here first- then trouble shoot from there

 

So I have finally got around to messing with this cj5 more and today I notice that during the irregular idle, I look down the throat of the carb and there is a sporadic intermittent fuel coming out of one of the tiny holes inside the throat of the carb. but I'm not sure which circuit its called where its coming out. maybe that's a normal spot but maybe it being sporadic is because of the irregular idle speed and say its switching from idle circuit to high speed circuit etc an anyone tell me what circuit is this tiny hole


Its the tiny hole toward the bottom left of the throat right above the stamping 13
