Carter BBD - End of story for now
 

Following several suggestions, I got the Jeep running better than it has in
years. Computer not working, but I cleaned the idle tubes, aedjusted the
mixture, and enjoyed my ride again. After 110 miles, it started running
rotten again.

My best guess is that the computer kicked in for a few seconds, and adjusted
the mixture to full lean.

I decided I need to get the computer running. I installed 2 fuses in the
circuit board next to the battery, and checked the O2 sensor, water jacker
thermocouple, and the other thingy in the air filter. Within a few minutes,
I had the computer working, and adjusting the mixture.

Life is good.

Until.......

It stopped working again, and I let the smoke out of the wires inside the
harness.

Jeep won't run.

2 Options:

Find a new harness (I haven't seen one for a YJ)

Replace ignition and carb with wired kits.

I was just wondering if you can hear the Nutter people telling you
"I told ya so"!

Painless might have one.

Well, you probably know now that fuses have ratings and putting in a larger
fuse means something else will burn out. :(

Since things are dead you might try the "nutter bypass".

The other option is a fuel injector conversion. $$$ but what I've read
indicates happy campers.

.../me wonders if they make a TBI system which would be easier to install. :/

Re: Carter BBD - End of story for now
 

I was told they were 1 amp fuses. I replaced them with 1 amp fuses.

From the other thread, ten years ago, choke wire melted to exhaust manifold,
and caused 22 wires to become 1 (including engaging the starter while I was
doing 70). My best guess is that the computer's been dead for ten years.

I'll try the nutter bypass and unplug the carb.

Anyone know how I can move the electric mixture pins? 12 volts to ???
