Re: Failed emissions on 83 CJ7. Any suggestions?
Thanks Bill. The only problems I had were the CO readings.
Everything else was fine. Or, so I am assuming.
They didn't tell me anything else was wrong.
I get one free recheck, Keeping those fingers and toes crossed!!

Good luck, you might put a 195 degree thermostat in like came
stock, temporarily to insure a more complete burn.

Re: Failed emissions on 83 CJ7. Any suggestions?
Something real simple and cheap is to put a bottle of the stuff used to help
pass emissions, you can get from the auto parts store. It really works
since you have a CO problem. What it basically does is add both oxygen and
a clean burn additive which makes your engine lowers the CO and NOX. Just
follow the directions on the bottle.

True, strictly a rich burn condition. But, plugs are probably fouled.
Going to change them before I get rechecked today.
