85 cj5 stall out
Zeppelin
Jeeper
ok so im helping my buddy fix his CJ5 and im a pretty decent mechanic but im having some issues resolving my problems here. it starts and idles great even revs all through the tach without a hiccup... put it into first and it try's to stall and die and if your lucky it will run fine until you shift into second then it starts to stall... give it gas and it hiccups and sputters until it catches or dies. same if you let off the gas too.
what i've done... i've adjusted the air/fuel mixture, cleaned the carb, cleaned the jets, checked and adjusted the floats in the bowls, adjusted the needles, advanced and retarded the timing till it was set, checked all the gaskets and vacuum lines, and had the breather on and off... it just acts like its not getting enough fuel when you put a load on the motor (no backfires so i assume its not flooding) any advice on what the issue could be? no broken links either... im assuming the issue is with the carb or timing but the previous owner put a msd ignition and multi spark set up into it so im assuming its not the timing either.... can i please get some advice here???
