Idle....

[Lance1965cj5]

Hello,

Few questions regarding the Idle.
Have a 65 CJ5 Dauntless Buick 225 V6 225
Jeep runs great however when its parked on sloped area its hard to hold the idle in placed, always have to gas in order to idle.

Im sure its a most comment problem but anyone here have a suggestion or have fixed the problem...?

Thank you,

All float type carbs will exhibit this to some degree, when you tilt them at an angle far enough off camber.

Make sure you have a clean fuel filter, check to make sure you have 2.5 psi fuel pressure at the carb with the vapor return line open, 3.5 pinched off. Check the float, should be set at 1 3/32" from air horn gasket to top of float (stock carb).
