AMC 150 Carb Issue...

[poppatello]

First off, let me start out by saying it's been a while since I've been around here. Life has not been too good to our family. But I'm trying to get back into the normal pleasures of life and the jeep isn't running good.

I currently have the POS knock off Weber 32-36 carb on my AMC 150 4 cylinder. Yes I have not swapped out the motor yet (remember I said life hasn't been good to me). That will need to be put back yet again. However, the tags ran out on the Cj and I want to get it back on the road again.

I have always had issues with this carb. It would stall whenever on a slight incline wheeling and the choke was a joke.

I looked @ Varajet carbs but they don't make any for the AMC 150 that I'm told. I was looking into the Motorcarft carb but folks on the other forms were telling me that they are too big for the 4 banger. So what do I do? There has to be another decent carb out there for the AMC 4 banger and I'll need a plate for it as the one I have fits the Weber. Not sure if they are universal or not.

Can anyone help me or point me in the right direction? I can't seem to find much info on the net either...

First off, glad life has at least improved enough to allow a little fun time on your CJ. :grinjeep:
Before you give up on the Webber, are you sure that the float is adjusted correctly? Is it even good? An improperly adjusted float can cause either starving, set too low, or flooding, set too high, going up and down grades. You can replace the OEM choke with a manual or electric one depending on your preferance.

I would suggest looking at the spark plugs to check fuel mixture.

Also, look into re-jetting it. Webers are notorious for being over jetted from the factory.
