Is there a good web site to explain how to adjust the choke on a 1989 Wrangler
6cyl. It's a new carb. It starts great, and runs great once it's warmed up.
However in between is horrible. It's runs so rich I can't get it above 40mph.
Then it'll stall, and be flooded for about 5 minutes. Of course it'll always
stall in the fast lane of a major road.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

That is odd.....

What 'kind' of 'new' carb is on it?

All of the Carter BBD's I have seen have an electric choke on them.
This is a timer choke that goes off according to how long it sees 12
volts, not on how warm or cold it is.

They are a 'real' pain in the butt because they go off way too fast so
you have to sit and let it warm up for a long time or flutter the gas
pedal like crazy and 3 foot drive to avoid it stalling and seeming to
flood out until it warms up.

All my friends and I have put manual cable chokes in. They are great, I
can leave it on a 1200 fast idle with the choke 1/4 closed and drive
away no matter the temp or timing. Once it is 'really' warmed up, I
then can open it up.

I recommend you remove the air filter and watch the speed of the choke
pull open while it warms up. I think you will find it opens too soon.

There are two other things that help heating it up faster. The air
filter flaps shunt hot air into the carb from the manifold shield and
there is an electric gas mist heater directly below the carb.

If in fact yours acts differently, then check the electrical connection
on the choke for a corroded plug. The choke housing also can be rotated
to make it run richer or leaner to a little extent. Most are set 2
notches rich I believe.

The vacuum choke pull off Bill is talking about must be working or you
would have no cold idle, it would chug out fast.

I noticed today that my preheater hose is torn and unhooked. I will replace
that tomorrow, maybe that is a problem.
