    The one time I disconnected the fuel from the carburetor, started the Jeep for about 1-2s and there was this much fuel in the bag. Seems like it's getting plenty of fuel right? I meant to check the internal fuel filter on the carb last night and forgot.

    Was up till 4am last night rebuilding the carburetor. It looks great. It still doesn't start. Even since I tried tuning it, it won't start. I think I'm headed in the right direction though and hope it'll run smoother by the time I finish. Before After Some more pics along the way

    Carburetor rebuild kit and radiator shroud came in today. Unfortunately I'm slammed with work and been up till midnight working the past week. Don't have any time to install them or the soft top yet. So many parts, so little time!

    Ok, need some help. Did some more troubleshooting tonight. The carburetor has an adjustment screw to change the amount of gas coming in. Protocol calls to tighten the screw all the way, then back it out two full turns. Turn on the Jeep and then tighten the screw back down until it starts to...

    Thanks Doug. Good point. I'll start with air. Maybe an easy fix there. Yeah, I think it goes on the other side on this engine, but the air pump is missing. The bummer is that I can seem to find a new one online. Based on what I know thus far, I think it goes on this bracket and there's an...

    So did emissions test today. FAILED. Here is a pic of the screen. Anyone want to translate? Guy said the carburetor is "running really rich" and taking care of that would help a lot. Also wondering if adjusting that will help it run smoother, particularly on the hills. Any how-tos on doing...
