I'm moving this weekend.. and getting a great place to work on the CJ. I'm
going to rebuild the carb, and replace the gaskets,etc. This thing was
'worked' on by a shitbag (that's his given name---by me) a year ago, but I
don't trust his work. If the Jeep sits for a week.. it takes 10+ pumps of
the accelerator pedal to get it to start up... then it dies. Five more
pumps... then it runs. I have to keep pumping it for about 3 minutes before
it will run on it's own.

Ideas there?

So, my thoughts:

Fix the damn choke. I don't think it is doing its job. Anyone know the
parts necessary (I saw this thread w/ Joe.. I'll go read it now :)) for the
choke? I want to 'try' to use the electric choke... before moving to the
manual. I'm guessing a diaphram of some sort is necessary.

I saw the guy break off a few coils of the accelerator coil spring... and
bend it again.. is that a problem? Should I buy a new one?

The throttle linkage doesn't have a screw on the sol-vac (think that's what
it is) ..do I need that, or does the Nutter Bypass take care of it for me.
For more info.. if you are looking at the throttle linkage from the driver's
side of the engine.. the left-most (front of engine) 'wing' of the linkage
has a screw... it hits the sol-vac ... I don't have that screw ?!

Ok.. on to the parts list:

What gasket set do I need for the carb? Does that include bushing for the
throttle linkage? What about the choke? Gasket? Diaphram? I plan on
replacing the fuel filter.. I just replaced the spark plugs, wires,
distributor cab, rotor, water pump, thermostat, ..etc etc etc. All of that
is in order. What tools do I need? anything special? I have all the
normal stuff. I'm going to go ahead and get a 1/32 bit ..and clean out the
idle tubes...

Thanks for reading..

OH yeah.. more questions. What should I clean that thing in? It is
obvious that I haven't done this before.. but I am going to remove it from
the manifold, and work on the a counter with a sink. I have a can of
choke/carb cleaner.. .what should I use? Maybe a painters' roller pan? I
have some anti-seize stuff too.. use that on the choke plate..and linkage?
Should I use something on the bolts when I put the carb back on the manifold
to keep them from backing out?


Thanks again.. :)

Have you checked your fuel lines? Could be that when you shut the truck off
you are losing all the pressure in the fuel system and it takes those extra
revolutions to get the mechanical fuel pump to pressurize the system again.
I had the same problem then I replaced the fuel line and it rectified it.
that was until I broke one of the return lines when I was doing the brake
lines and the problem started again.....

Yeah.. I have thought about that. I don't know anything about it at this
point. I am going to bottom of it when I get into the garage. A lot of
work went into the fuel system before I got the thing. I am going to
replace the filter, and the line from the filter upward. If that doesn't
fix it.. I'm going to start heading back down the line from the filter...

Boooo

I can toss some ideas at you.

First off, get a carb kit. They cost about $20.00 and come with all the
gaskets and a new float needle and seat, an accelerator pump and good
directions.

I use a half of an old antifreeze or oil jug as my soaking bin and use
carb cleaner spray on the parts in the bin and the carb itself.

Pay close attention to the idle tubes, they usually need to be
physically reamed at the crimped end to get them clean. Oversizing them
slightly helps too. I use a welding tip cleaning tool for this. See:

http://www.off-road.com/jeep/tech/engine/carter.html

The choke is a bi-metal spring that is 'normally' closed until 12 volts
hits it, then it unwinds opening the choke.

Having to crank and pump the crap out of it after it sits is a symptom
of either the gas filter being in upside down or a pin hole in the gas
line on the suction side of the pump. Filter in upside down is real
common. The filter has two outlets, the center one goes to the carb and
the Top one goes to the return line. If the return line isn't at the
top, then gas will syphon back to the tank when it sits air locking the
pump.

The 'modified' spring on the linkage should be no problem.

The sol vac only has a screw in it if you have an automatic or AC,
otherwise it is not needed and yes, the Nutter will kill it if it was in
use so you need to set the idle rpm accordingly. When in drive on an
auto or when the AC comes on, it might need to be upped a bit.

One tip on carb cleaning. If you don't need to unscrew something to
clean it, don't. If it has decent performance normally, the settings
inside are ok, so put them back the same rather than trying to adjust
everything the carb kit instructions 'say' can be adjusted.

Things like the new float needle and the new accelerator pump will need
to be adjusted.

Good luck,

Thanks, Mike. I appreciate it.

:)

Should I use some antiseize anything? .. or something on the bolts to kee
them from back out?

Thanks!

I find you sometimes have to retighten the carb base plate's 4 nuts down
once a couple days after the job, but other than that, no real need for
any thread treatment.

Oh, while doing the job, I 'highly' recommend you also clean out the gas
line from the filter to the carb. It has a dip in it that collects junk
and it will get disturbed when doing the job. This can mean a plugged
idle tub a week after it is done. At least the venturi cluster with the
idle tubes can be pulled out from the top for a quick clean if needed
down the road.
