Just took my Jeep out to the store, pumped and.

Check the choke and fast idle adjustment

1ST OF ALL. WHAT ENGINE YOU GOT?

WHAT CARB DO YOU HAVE?

SO LIKE CAN YOU SEND SOME PICS OF THE CARB?

HOW 'BOUT THE WHOLE ENGINE W/ HOOD BACK ON THE WINDSHIELD FRAME---TOP, LEFT, AND RIGHT VIEWS

WITHOUT EVEN USING MY MANUAL CHOKE (OR USING IT), AND A CARTER BBD CARB, IF ALL IS "TIP-TOP"---2 PUMPS AND IT WILL BUST OFF AND RUN. HOWEVER, IT'LL BE SLUGGISH WITHOUT CLOSING THE CHOKE A LITTLE, TILL IT WARMS UP WITHIN 2 MILES. THEN CHOKE BUTTON (CABLE) GETS PUSHED IN. THAT'S DURING COLD WEATHER, I RARELY USE THE CHOKE DURING WARM WEATHER. BUT I DON'T "JUMP OUT" IN FRONT OF ANYBODY, TILL I'M AT OPERATING TEMPERATURE!

I'VE HAD BBDs FOREVER, TRIED A WEBER FOR A YEAR, AND NOW HAVE A HOLLEY 390 CFM, 4 BARREL. MOUNTED ON MY 258 6 CYL. MOSTLY FOR THE ABILITY TO JET IT FAST AND EZ, AND OBTAINING 18 MPG, BUT THE POWER IS THERE IF I NEED IT!

IS THIS YOUR DAILY DRIVER?

WHEN THE ROD ROD GOT LOST. RECKON IT WENT DOWN THE CARB?

DO YOU KNOW YOUR WAY AROUND THE ENGINE?

GOT TUNE UP ITEMS LIKE A DWELL/ TACH AND A TIMING LIGHT?

I CAN HELP YOU THRU MOST ANYTHING ON YOUR BABY. YOURS IS EARLY, LIKE MINE, AND DOES NOT HAVE ALL THE CRAP ON IT THAT THE LATER MODELS HAVE

I HAVE LOT'S OF PICS, EXPLANATIONS, EXPERIENCE, AND HAVE ANSWERED NEARLY ALL OF THE CJ 5s AND 7s THAT HAVE COME THRU HERE FOR THE LAST.4 YEARS

MOST OF MY PICS ARE HOMEMADE--I EVEN RUSH OUT AND TAKE PICS JUST TO GET SOMEONE TO SEE AND UNDERSTAND---IT'S HARD ENOUGH IN PERSON, TO DO THIS, IT'S A REAL CHALLENGE TO DO IT ON HERE. EVEN WITH A MOTIVATED PARTICIPANT

THE REASON I STARTED ANSWERING HERE 4 YEARS AGO IS BECAUSE THE "CJs" WERE GETTING "ONE LINER", UN-HELPFUL ANSWERS FOR THE MOST PART.I THOUGHT I COULD DO BETTER!

GONNA HANG WITH ME, LIKE SOME OF THE OTHERS, SOME BEING OVER 100 RESPONSES LONG?

. THE LAST 10 OR SO CJs NEVER EVEN RESPONDED (:-(
