Carb Issues
« on: April 30, 2014, 01:33:58 AM »
Got the jeep running with rebuilt WO carb. Engine runs beautifully at idle. When I hit the gas pedal the engine chugs and usually stalls. If I run with partial choke 1/4 out engine does much better. Fuel pump is new as are filters. I am stumped about what I should do and check to resolve the problem.� Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I have not messed with the points, could they be causing this sort of issue?

[size=12]Need more info. What is your idle RPM? Does it idle without any choke? What is the condition of your distributor?[/size][/b]

You may not have the metering rod set right or the idle to run transfer ports may be clogged.

Thanks guys. I put new points in tonight and things are much better. Also adjusted the carb (still need to mess some more) and things improved still more. I will let you know how it goes when I set the timing and get the carb dialed in.
