This "plate" is located on the under side of the intake manifold, almost directly beneath the carb. A: what is it's purpose? B: are these vent holes?

Had to replace the fuel pump on my Ford Ranger a few years ago. Involved removing the entire bed for what could have been a 15 minute job.

So if the 88 YJ has a "mechanical" cam lobe actuated fuel pump, is there another submersible fuel pump in the tank? Or what exactly is it they refer to as a "Fuel sending unit?"

Dumb question: How would you recommend plugging the port on the block once the mech pump is removed? Or just leave it in place?

Yeah, I have a kit ordered. It'll give something to do this rainy weekend.

Found this interesting fix on another auto forum. Repairing a tear in the carb diaphragms Carb diaphragms are extremely expensive, about $60 each, as they are only sold integral with the slide. But they can be repaired easily and quickly. Symptom. With all else verified to be correctly...

Welp... just discovered my problem. Noticed some fuel leaking onto the manifold, traced it down to the accelerator pump on the carb. Removed the diaphragm to discover 3 little pinholes. :cautious:

Rotating the filter lines didn't seem to help much. Next step is the fuel check valve.

Yeah, took me longer figure out the model

took some digging but, looks like it's a 34 DGEC :( 2150 here I come

Guy at O'Reilly just told me to check the position of the fuel filter. I just replaced mine about 3 weeks ago and didn't even pay attention to it's orientation, but apparently having the smaller return line lower than the feed line can allow it to syphon the fuel from the bowl back to the tank...

Yep, tried that. No one will answer and their emails bounce redline@redlineweber.com :cautious:

Watching. My 88 4.2 does the same thing. I recently did the "nutter bypass", added a Mr. Gasket fuel pressure regulator. My "Weber" carb is clearly a chinesium knockoff though. My next attempt at a fix will be adding an inline check valve.

They look like the doors for my 88 YJ... and in great condition. I recently had issue with door alignment and solved it by hanging the doors on the hinges, then loosen the 6 button head bolts (door half) of the hinge while someone helps lift and shimmy the back corner of the door. First thing...

Best news is, it's an easy swap.
