I need help with an '83 cj7 6cyl, 2bbl carb. I just had the
carburator rebuilt. The jeep runs great untill I hit 4th gear. It
seems like its flooding out, or like I dont have enough rev's to be in
that high a gear. (I get only about 9 mph) I replaced the choke
pulloff with no change. Vacum lines seem to be good. This happens
wether the engine is hot or cold. Any help woulg be great.

 

How did it drive before?

When it warms up, is the choke open and the plate held fairly solidly in
place?

Other than that I would suspect maybe the throttle linkage is in the
wrong hole for the accelerator pump and vacuum piston rod so it
over-centers them at full throttle. It needs to be on the inner lever's
hole by the finger lifter.

Next I would suspect the carb base plate got in upside down maybe.

The emissions stuff is still working right? If it isn't, then I would
point you to other things.

You are getting crap for mileage, mine gets about 23 mpg highway.

What's the oil smell like, I wonder. My first check would be to make sure
the choke plate is wide open when warm, the second would be to see if the
float is stuck open. Either failure is going to dump gas into the oil.

When my float is stuck, it drips gas out the carb at idle and really
messes up under 2000 rpm.

If the stepper motor isn't running and it's pins are set wrong he will
have the exact symptoms he describes also which is why I asked about
emissions systems.
