Hi all, been a long time due to illness and the YJ being at a mechanics or 5 months but me and the Jeep are back on the road.
So here is my query as Im new to carbs.
I had the EFI taken out and a Weber Carb put in and she drives again. Great news.
Drove her 130 miles home, no issue, then a 20 mile trip a few days later and she kept stalling.
She now has a manual choke which when checked does move the butterfly valves bug seems to have zero effect.
Starting her up is a combination of feathering the throttle to get her fired up, then holding the throttle and revs at about 2000rpm for a minute to get her to not stall at 700rpm. Then quickly get driving, keep the revs up at stops and eventually she doesnt stall when she rests at 700rpm.
I read on here about mixture and idle speed screws and followed the advice and got her idling at 1100 and off she goes! Like a new car! gave her a damned good thrashing around our country lanes and dips and hills and it was a whole different jeep! Tonnes of fun.
However, eventully came to a junction and she stalled before i even stopped. She started immediately but once again i had to feather the throttle to keep her from stalling all the way home. Got home, stalled.
I checked the carb and it's clean, filter is clean, fuel pump is set at 4.5, pump is only a month old, same as the carb. Half a tank of fuel.
Any idea why she wont simply hold her idle revs at 700 when hot and the choke makes no difference?
Sorry for long post, juat wanted to be thorough.
Cheers
