Old jeep won't start
 

My 85 CJ 258 won't start, it is getting fuel and fire. Plugs fire when
removed from cylinders and fuel atomizes in carb throat when pedal is
pushed. I tried priming in throat and directly in cylinders. At first It
would run very rough for a few seconds and then back fire and stall but now
it won't catch at all. What should I do next.

Re: Old jeep won't start
 

How did this come about? Was it running and then quit or?????

How much fire? You can get a spark that isn't enought to burn fuel with
a weak coil. Timing will also throw everything out of whack and prevert
starting with a good spark & fuel. Same thing with carb adjustment.

As Mike Romain said :: was this running and parked and now won't start?
Sitting how long? Indoors or outdoors? Was something recently replaced
or repaired? It all matters to some degree.

Cheers,

I can't help you with your jeep but watch out for Bill ------. He's a
netKKKop with a fetish for goats. Yes, that's right, he ----s goats and
lets them ---- him in the ass and mouth. He's also a coward and a liar.
