My CJ7 is having fits on me!

Re: My CJ7 is having fits on me!
I believe the slow flow out of the pump allowed all the stop leak to
gather in the heater core blocking the flow. I now have half flow. Hot
top hose and luke warm lower return to the pump. Gotta flush it or
maybe reverse the hoses.
When it heated up with the cap off, it flowed backward for a while from
what appeared to be convection flow out the block via the lower hose and
only went forward out the top hose when I revved it up to 3000 or so.
Same deal with heat. If I drive at 2000 rpm, no freaking heat, got up
to 3000 rpm and I have heat.
Bottom rad hose is new and has a spring in it so no collapse there.

Re: My CJ7 is having fits on me!
Hi Mike,
Interesting.
All though, I have found a lot of clogged heater cores, on cars I
thought were well maintained. Just used the garden hose and back
flushed, and they went for no heat to having to turn it down.

Re: My CJ7 is having fits on me!
Well ya know, my hose is currently imbedded in a block of ice that goes
down to bedrock so I am going to have to wait for a few weeks before I
can flush it....
Maybe a new pump will have the power to clear it or I have to go spend
money to have a heated garage flush the core. It was flushed last fall
and I had wicked heat, didn't even need a coat on, let alone gloves and
boots and ski pants like now....
I think I got the carb working again though. The float needle had built
up varnish crap on one of it's 3 slider rails. I polished it up and the
gas seems to want to stay inside the carb where it belongs.

down to bedrock so I am going to have to wait for a few weeks before I
can flush it....
Maybe a new pump will have the power to clear it or I have to go spend
money to have a heated garage flush the core. It was flushed last fall
and I had wicked heat, didn't even need a coat on, let alone gloves and
boots and ski pants like now....
I think I got the carb working again though. The float needle had built
up varnish crap on one of it's 3 slider rails. I polished it up and the
gas seems to want to stay inside the carb where it belongs.

Re: My CJ7 is having fits on me!
Well ya know, my hose is currently imbedded in a block of ice that goes
down to bedrock so I am going to have to wait for a few weeks before I
can flush it....
Maybe a new pump will have the power to clear it or I have to go spend
money to have a heated garage flush the core. It was flushed last fall

Re: My CJ7 is having fits on me!
Mike, if push comes to shove go buy a cheap hose and screw it onto the
drain connector on your hot water heater in the house. Open the
drain, flush with warm hands, then find someplace to hide when the
wife figures out you used ALL the hot water.
Sounds like the CJ is letting you know how it feels about being
ignored. And you can always remind yourself about Stop-Leak: I KNEW
better than that!
