Is There a Fix to My Starting Issues?
I have the classic CJ (1986, 258) starting issue? The first start is
always difficult, usually taking 2 tries and pumping of the
pedal...however once that intial difficult start it starts perfect each
and every time until it sets overnight again.
It is just that first start even if I shut it off anf restart
immediatley it will fire right up!
What gives....suggestions?
Thanks so much!

Re: Is There a Fix to My Starting Issues?
Your gas filter is likely in upside down. It has 2 outlets. The center
outlet goes to the carb and the top outlet goes to the return line. If
the return line isn't up top, gas will syphon back to the tank when it
sits.
If the filter is on right, then the next thing to check is the gas line
for a pinhole on the suction side. The hole can be small enough to just
let air in when it sits and leave a small stain on the line. They leak
usually near where the steel line on the frame meets the rubber lines.
Have we had this discussion before?

The pump also has a backflow valve. They don't fail often, but it can
happen.
