    87 Wrangler dies

    SHE"S ALIVE!!! Drove her 70 mph today. Combo of wrong carb & canister plumbing. I used both MC 2100s I had to make the correct one.

    87 Wrangler dies

    I swapped the carb with the carb off my 74 J-10 with the 360 CI engine. I was able to correctly plumb all the lines from the canister except the line closest to the firewall. It is supposed to go to the vent on the fuel bowl. My carb doesn't have that vent. I ran the line to the tube on the left...

    87 Wrangler dies

    87 Wrangler dies

    Checked all the fuel system with a blow gun @ 10 psi. No obstructions or debris. Hooked everything back up & still no start. Removed the fuel line into the factory fuel filter & placed it into a liter bottle. Good fuel flow. Hooked it back up, no start. Removed the fuel line from the carb &...

    87 Wrangler dies

    At the suggestion of Carnuck, I should put a clear fuel filter before the fuel pump. Last night I installed one. Very little fuel coming to the pump. Tonight I'll turn the air compresor pressure down & blow the fuel line from front to rear & blow out the fuel pump, then install a new factory...

    She has a factory tach. I'll try an additional fuel filter before the pump. She acts like you turn the key off @ 60 mph, then turn the key back on @ 40 mph.

    87 Wrangler dies

    No missfire, cough or anything, just quits. I have adjusted the idle mix screws using a vac gauge to get max manifold vacuum. Now she bogs from a standing start.

    87 Wrangler dies

    Yes, most do. I ordered the carb for a 304, but this is the one I got & the auto parts store didn't have anyway to obtain a carb with 108s, (which they told me after the fact). I would have had to pay shipping on all the carbs until we hopefully got one with 108s.

    87 Wrangler dies

    Drove her last night with a 12v light tied into the coil. When she died, light stayed on, so I'm pretty sure it's not the ignition system. Shw will run at 3,000 rpms in park with no problem. I'm leaning toward the MC 2100 with 121 ventris. Mainly because the engine completety dies when making...

    87 Wrangler dies

    When I drove the Wrangler down 495 from Chester, Pa. a couple of weeks ago, she died 3 times before I got to the 12th street bridge. After the bridge, she ran fine. Tonight, she would die everytime I got over 50 mph, (about 52 mph @ 2000 rpms). Engine died, but would come back @ 40 mph, go up...

    cj5 or a cj7

    Josh, Ya need to really check out the frame & driveline. Drive it on & off road. Check, check & recheck the body for rust/bondo. That's a pretty steep price. Will it pass state inspection? I bought what I thought was a cherry 1983 CJ-5, only to replace the entire brake system including lines...
