Hi all, new to this site, not new to jeeps or wrenching on cars. I have a Jeep CJ-3a that is used as an on-farm rig, pulling pipe trailers, doing irrigation runs. Fairly light duty, lots of starts.
The problem I am having is this; The jeep starts great, throttles up fine, and will get me about halfway across the farm (about a mile) before the problem shows up. It starts dying when any throttle is applied, and seems to be flooding out(?).
I rebuilt the Carb, completely to specs (float at 3/8 w/o gasket, etc.), cleaned ever nook and cranny, blew out the jets, checked all settings, checked the gaskets and the heat gap, fuel filter, etc. Still does it. Runs fine until it warms up a bit, then as throttle is applied it dies. hard to restart, but if you catch it soon enough and let off the throttle, it will recover to an idle.
Brand new plugs, that seem to be very excessively fouled for how new they are, making me think flooding.That said, everything is set right, float checked, needles checked, jets, etc. Doesn't seem to be anything electronic related. I'm stumped. Any and all help/ ideas are appreciated.
Thank You!!
