I just wish they called the 4-door something other than a "Wrangler". I guess that's what doesn't sit well with me. I can see why they'd want a Jeep that basically looks like a Hummer, just call it something else...

The saga continues. I had the PO's 5 yr old battery die on me last night while I was trying to start the beast. It started out making sickly weak cranking noises, recovered some on a subsequent attempt, and was in the middle of cranking and then it just cut off. Took it in, had 3 some volts on...

I'm sure my plugs are still black from flooding it two weeks ago. At this point, for all I know, I'm running too lean. So I should leave adjusting the timing for later as well, and just fiddle with the carb screws to try to get it to idle?

I appreciate the replies...unfortunately I've had too much life and no Jeep this week. (It was going to happen at some point. Plus my coworker who was going to help me work on it couldn't come.) Yes, the plugs were brand new and now the front four are pretty sooty. It may have run for 30...

Yet another new Jeep owner. Bought this thing from the lady around the corner as my wife's wedding present in April. It's a Laredo and was pretty much stock with a few exceptions: Most of the pulse air stuff was removed, including the vacuum switches, the little reservoir, both solenoids (the...
