This Morning's Coffee Update.
Had a Good Day on in the Shop yesterday.
Accomplished several things.
Now, another pesky problem I have had since I owned this Jeep.
Oil vapor (or maybe even just oil) is being drawn up the Air Tube to the Air Horn on the Carb and after sitting, drips oil down the carb, and onto manifold. When running it is so slight it must be burning off.
First, I researched this problem and others have experienced also. I have already posted that the PCV tube is clear and the Valve is NOT Stuck. I looking at
Engine Diagrams, noticed that there is to be a Washer Baffle on the Dipstick. Mine is MISSING.
This washer baffle also acts as a Guide to get the end of the Dipstick to hit the Casting Hole at the Bottom of the Filler Tube.
Could not find a replacement on my Parts Safari Tuesday, so I will shop fabricate one.
Second, refer to Fig. 1 that there is to be a Rubber Hose that goes right before the Air Horn with a clamp. 95% of these are GONE, as this is a "Force Fit" joint and previous owners don't replace them when they wear out.
I will also replace this too.
Third, I found posted online a Paper Filter conversion for the Oil Bath Air Cleaner. This is a EXCELLENT Simple Solution and the parts are Available !!
NOW, again reference Fig. 1,
My Air Cleaner is MISSING part letter G ! And Fig. 2 is what the Previous Owner replaced it with.
Here is the simple Paper Filter Replacement keeping the original Oil Bath Filter Casing.
Fig. 3-7
Fits perfectly.
