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.

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.

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 ???
