1057715 I've got an '89 YJ. It is in really good shape. However, I have finally stopped spending big bucks on it. It's just not worth it! I wanted to change my hardtop color two years ago. I had (on hand) a can of paint which needed no primer (lots of that stuff out there, e.g...

1047119 Thanks! Sounds like you had the same trouble adjusting. I'll give that a try when the storm is over and I dig it out.[addsig]

1052659 Thanks! I'll try your suggestions. It's really bothersome! I think I'll just take the hood off for a couple of days and keep turning the choke adjustment. Hee hee. :-D [addsig]

1052802 I replaced my seal, but the leak came back eventually. Then I noticed that I had some movement (up and down) when I shook the shaft where it enters the case. So, while you're at it, take the tail section off the transer case and replace the bushing in there. Chances are it's worn and...

1042850 Yes, the TFI upgrade IS worth the time and money. Mine became a different vehicle immediately! I know what you've got, mine is an '89 also. The coil should be fine, I'm guessing. The only reason for a newer coil is to get higher energy, which comes from the number of wire turns in...

1042951 A leaky YJ? I've got... ooops... used to have one. Mine leaked for years. Wotta pain! I did remember reading somewhere on the net that CJ's leaked too. That same article said to fold down the winshield and put loads and loads of silicone between the body and the windshield frame...

1042952 For anybody who reads this... it's still hard to start BUT I get over 19 mpg highway (Imperial gallons)!!! So, really, who cares if it's hard to start sometimes? I've thrown away almost every vacuum-associated thing on that engine, it looks like a motor from the sixites. It runs so...

1042132 Help me, please! I've got an '89 YJ. It was drinking gas, so I replaced the carb with a 2bbl Carter with NO stepper motor. I had already done the Nutter bypass. Immediately after the carb replacement it would start perfectly when hot or cold, but when it cools down for about 15...

1047108 I know this may sound elementary to some people, but can somebody tell me, or show me an article, on how to adjust my choke properly? It's an 89 YJ , 6 cylinder with the Carter carb. I've thrown away almost all the vacuum crap. No more stepper motor! Thank you Mr. Nutter. I've got...

1052547 I know this sounds stupid, but... how do I adjust the choke? I've tried every position possible it seems. It starts perfect cold or hot. But when it's cooled down for 10 or 15 minutes, it has to crank over for 30 seconds, which is a longgggg time. It's a new carb. New wires...
