82 CJ7, 258 4.2L
My 82 CJ7 was having issues with starting after it sat for periods of time longer than a half hour. I had to continually pump the accelerator all the way to the floor in order to get it to start. I believed it to be an issue with the carburetor which I have replaced several times prior, so I did so again.
I replaced the carburetor on Monday and took it out at night for several hours and it ran fine. It also cranked immediately.
Tuesday I took it out again and that’s when things started to go wrong. After driving it around all day, it started to bog down on the way home every so often.
I didn’t take it out on Wednesday and then tried to crank it up on Thursday and it would not turn over. It’s now Saturday and I still cannot get it to turn over. Would love to hear any thoughts that anyone might have in order to fix this.

I don't think you have any spark. What distributor are you using
 
Just tried putting fuel directly into carb and still no ignition. Could it be the coil that just so happened to go bad after replacing carb
Have you checked for spark?
 
Had a late night so I haven’t had a chance to check for spark yet and I will also get a pic of the distributor. I’ve been running the same distributor and plugs from Napa for about 11,000 miles
