Re: fuel pump - starting questions...
Hmm, choke - I'll check. It's electric and I wasn't sure where to hook it
up. Can it be hooked to a switched 12v that's constant? Or does it need to
close when up to temp?

Re: fuel pump - starting questions...
You have no freaking choke!!????
What the heck do you think a choke is for anyway?
Hint: Cold starts....
If the choke isn't hooked to power and the vehicle is running, you have
no choke. I mean that literally.
If it had the guts for a choke in it, the choke plate would be closed
with no power to it and the engine would not run.
Someone has gutted it or it has broken.
The power for the choke comes through the oil pressure safety switch so
the choke only sees 12 volts when the engine is running. Having a key
switched 12 volts won't work, the choke will fast burn out.
The power wire is a plug with 2 red wires going to it.
You also have a heating element under the carb for cold starts. This
gets power through the same switch, but has a relay on it for a direct
12 volt feed. The oil switch is only for the relay trigger.
I would highly recommend you go get a Haynes manual for the CJ's. It
has great wiring schematics.

If the choke isn't hooked to power and the vehicle is running, you have
no choke. I mean that literally.
If it had the guts for a choke in it, the choke plate would be closed
with no power to it and the engine would not run.
Someone has gutted it or it has broken.
The power for the choke comes through the oil pressure safety switch so
the choke only sees 12 volts when the engine is running. Having a key
switched 12 volts won't work, the choke will fast burn out.
The power wire is a plug with 2 red wires going to it.
You also have a heating element under the carb for cold starts. This
gets power through the same switch, but has a relay on it for a direct
12 volt feed. The oil switch is only for the relay trigger.
I would highly recommend you go get a Haynes manual for the CJ's. It
has great wiring schematics.

Re: fuel pump - starting questions...
If his choke was not hooked up then it would not have a problem with
cold starts as it is supposed to be closed when cold.
It may well be a problem once it warms up and doesn't open like it
should but it's not likely to be a cause of his jeep not starting.
Not having seen the vehicle, my money is on the choke not closing
properly. If it is stuck open then this would indeed be a cause of it
not starting and also backfiring when cold.
If that's not it, then I think the immediate problem lies in the fuel
delivery system ie:
Pinholes in the fuel line, leak in his carburetor float bowl or
leaking diaphragm in the fuel pump.
Most likely a combination of the first two.
An easy test would be to prime the carb with a little gas before
trying a cold start. If it starts right up where it would normally sit
and crank then you have fuel starvation issue.
You should have to wedge the choke open with a screwdriver before you
can pour a little gas into the carb.
You can hook up the choke power to any switched 12v line and its not
likely to burn out any earlier. The only problem I can see coming from
this is you'll have a higher power drain on your battery and your
choke will act as if the engine is running and open prematurely.
If you're not the type of person who likes to sit for long periods of
time with the ignition on and your engine not running this should not
be a problem for you.
