Need some carb advice...I think

About a week a ago the CJ started stalling out at an idle - after it had warmed up. I did some parts changin' - fuel filter and ignition coil - also thought I might need to rebuild the carb. Yesterday I pulled original Rochester 2G carb, cleaned in good and installed a rebuild kit.

When I out it back on the jeep it cranks up well, but will run only when choked. When I take the choke off, it immediately shuts down.

I was very careful to follow the rebuild instructions and make all the correct settings (so I think :? ).

Anyone have an idea what my problem might be?

 

I can keep her runnin', but I have to keep the RPMs really high.

 

There's an idle speed and an idle mixture. Sounds like the idle mixture is too lean to run on the idle circuit - thus you must keep the revs up.

 

I adjusted the mixture and it seems to be very rich but it's runnin' at something that approximates normal. Think I'll take a test drive and see where she abandons me .

This little V6 drinks more gas than the V8 in my pickup .
