Carb rebuild

[seanmnew]

I have an 86 CJ7 with the Weber (11046). I believe its in need of a rebuild, and its not something that would hurt either way obviously... is this something i should pay someone to do or do myself? I do have a good amount of mechanical experience but very little to none with carbs

They are not hard to do, just need to be careful and clean.

Rust Bucket just did one on his 2100 (a carb is a carb if you ask me) and because of his careful planning it worked great!

I just rebuilt my first carb a few weeks ago and it was not too bad. Go to the auto parts store and get a rebuild kit and a carb cleaning kit (it's a bucket of carb cleaner with a dipping basket). Use the below links:

http://www.therangerstation.com/tech_library/pdf_documents/motorcraft_2150_carb.pdf

The key to the process is organization. I labeled all parts on an old towel and followed these links step by step.

If I knew how to post a link to my thread, I would! Search for carb rebuild and you will find a bunch of info.

Good luck!

Umm - please don't use those PDF's for your carb! You'll be a little sorry! :laugh:

BTW - Our 'Documents' section has those PDF's also if needed...
