Re: Jeep Wagoneer Stumbling Problem
Hi Gary,
I would guess you also need a carburetor kit, too. Usually over a
year period the gasoline will evaporate, drying the accelerator pump
plunger, and shrinking the gaskets, causing them to leak between
galleys, plus a little corrosion usually forms clogging the jets. And
was the bad pump the reason it was parked in the first place?

Re: Jeep Wagoneer Stumbling Problem
Well, this isn't the carburated version... I went out and bought a fuel
filter today and it made a considerable difference. It seemed better,
but it still has a flat spot. It seems like it gets better and it gets
worse. Any ideas on that? Haha.
Thanks,
