Thank you

I don't see the idle adjustment screw or a plug. I found an exploded parts for the carter carb to 1983. Looks a lot like mine. See the exploded parts here: http://www.thecriticalcrab.net/consign/jeep/carter_carb Let me know if you can identify the adjustment screw by number. I was playing...

Thank you for the response. I don't know if it's a factory or aftermarket tach. I did not smell rubber burning. When looking at the fuse box there's no indication of a tach only fuse. Speedometer lights come on, clock works, volt meter works. Checking the tach light is a good idea, so I'll do...

1985 CJ7 straight 6 My tachometer died suddenly. I had to charge the battery and while charging the CD changer kept cycling so I removed the fuse at the positive terminal of the battery. When I reinserted the fuse I heard a click but have no idea if it is related to the tach problem. Once the...

Thanks for the input and for watching/listening to my video. I've taken out the idle tubes and they are already 0.032 . I guess these are the venturi tubes (see attached pic). Hmmm. Was hoping that would be the quick fix. Not sure whether to make them even bigger or not. Comments on this...

My CJ7 rides OK except if you make a quick movement of the steering wheel it feels as if the Jeep will take off by itself in an oversteer. Feels very unsafe to me. Could this be "normal"? Or what is the fix? Is there a bolt on stabilizer or something? I'm attaching small pics of the front...

Replacement may be the answer. Had I done my research in advance, I would have installed a MotorCraft. May still be required. I've seen the article to which you refer, but as you say my carb is new so I think it's not applicable. Your adjustment tips are helpful and I'll give them a try. I...

Have you followed the procedures for tuning the carb? The backfiring sounds like it is dumping fuel into the engine and loading up the cylinders with gas. When it stalls, are the plugs soaked with gas? How is the ignition system? I had an intermittent problem with the ignition box of mine...

I've had some progress in this Carter Carb saga. Was able to have the Jeep smogged (CA) Had vacumm lines checked. Runs pretty good except idle. If you can spare the download time please see http://www.thecriticalcrab.net/consign/jeep/carter_carb_idle You can hear my CJ7 start and idle or more...

Yes, I've heard much about the Motorcraft. Slo-wrench44 you mention the MC2150 but your profile indicates MC2100. Is there a difference? You also mention $100. The E-bay guy is charging close to $300. Where does one get a $100 unit? Also, from your profile it seems you're a full tilt mechanic...

The Carter is brand new, so , Cduemeg, I think clogged venturis may not be the problem. I think I need to try the second vacumm test. But, it seems that the vacumn selonoid (probably not the name) the unit with the piston that is supposed to raise the throttle level at appropriate moments, is...

Anyone do the Moorcraft or Holley swap for a Carter where they have to smog the vehicle?

Thanks for all the input. Tried new plugs rotor and cap but no help. I'll be searching this forum for a previous answer, but maybe someone can suggest an alternative to the Carter Carb. thanks

New Carter Carb on this 170K straight 6 I noticed the spray-carb-cleaner-on-vacumm-connections-look-for-leaks procedure posted on another thread, so will try that. Also having difficulting getting a proper idle. Keeps changing and after significant run time, stalls on stop. All suggestions...

That does help. Of course, I did locate this very diagram pasted next to the radidator. But, the one you point to is much easier to read. Thank you

Now that I've found this forum, I see that I may have been better served replacing the Carter BBD carb on my newly aquired '85 CJ7 with something other than another Carter BBD. :rolleyes: But I did get another BBD and now I'm wondering if anyone can direct me to a source for a connection...
