- 1981 CJ7. I6, Weber 38/38 with TEAMRUSH upgrade. T5, Dana 300TC, Dana 30 / AMC 20, True trac w/ 4.10s. 33" All terrains
Blue and rust colored.
I have an I-6 that reeks of gas. I've made sure all my vacuum lines are sealed and the canister has been plugged where the lines aren't being used. I installed the Holley pressure regulator and it is running at 3.5psi. Per this thread here I just installed two 35 idle jets in the carb:

But now it will not idle smoothly at 700rpm when it used to purr. I got a 140 run jet to replace the AMC 150 but didn't install it yet as I'd have to take the carb apart and it doesn't seem like it would fix the issue taking away even more gas. I'm about to go to advanced to try the team rush upgrade. I've already got an MSD ignition... are there any other ideas on what I need to do to get rid of the gas stench? I've got about 500 miles on my oil change and it's already starting to look black.
