Re: Help: CJ idle/running problem
Change the oil as stated, but this engine may
be worn and oil fouling the plugs - previous owner puts
in a new set before he sells it, runs good for the test drive,
hopefully that's not the case here

Re: Help: CJ idle/running problem
You really don't want the same answer for both....
Too much oil will hit the crankshaft. The crankshaft then turns the oil
to foam. The oil pump pumps foam to the bearings. The engine then
starts slowing down while seizing up from lack of oil.
Or hopefully you can just drain the sucker and put the right amount in
and that will stop the oil all over the place.
You 'really' need to tell us what 'kind' of engine and the year for us
to point you to say a common carb fix for no idle, leaky valve cover
issues with one engine, etc...
