Automatic Choke

[Breeze]

Installed a new Crown carburetor on my 81 CJ5 . It did not come with the automatic choke. Used the one off my old carburetor but idles fast even at normal operating temperature. Is there a way to adjust the choke?

There should be a fast idle cam that controls the high rpms for a cold engine and it could be stuck or out of adjustment.

Don't know much about Crown's, but when you do that for a Motorcraft, if you use the auto choke from the old Carter, you have to reverse the internal temperature coil, and screw it into the Motorcraft carb.

Thanks for the info, but John Wayne only had one horse and my Jeep has many.

LOL...that's just my by line...not meant to be personal. However, the good thing about a horse is if it dies on the road you can always eat it.

Wasn't taken personal. Just can't get it to
idle right on a cold start (baffled). Thanks for your input.
