Mixture Solenoid Delema- Rochester E2SE on '81 CJ5
I'm rebuilding the carb on the '81 exArmy CJ5. It's the Rochester E2SE and
my vacuum test show the mixture control solenoid is caput. My delema is that
I can not find this part under $85 and as there might be other problems when
the rebuild is finished (I'm no expert here I might adjust the carb wrong)
should I spend the
$350 for a new carb, buy the bit or just put the bad solenoid back and hope
it runs OK and passes California smog?
If you recommend I buy the new carb shall I stay with the E2SE or are there
any cheaper or better alternatives?
Thanks,
Mike Stevens

Re: Mixture Solenoid Delema- Rochester E2SE on '81 CJ5
That part is 'supposed' to leak vacuum. It is called leak down and it
is supposed to drop from 20 inches to 15 or five inches in 5 seconds.
My book doesn't say how fast to 0, but the top test.

Oh and if the power is off to the part, it will not hold any vacuum....

Re: Mixture Solenoid Delema- Rochester E2SE on '81 CJ5
Hi Mike: How are thos Canadian snows this year?
I know what it does and the specs-I do RTFM. I've tested it and it holds no
vacuum energised or not, hence my question.
