This is just a general carb question, hope someone is kind enough to answer... (no luck so far in the Jeep n.g.)
actually has to do with a CJ7 Jeep, 258, stock Carter BBD carb rebuilt 6 years ago. If I'm at idle and just barely feather the gas it almost wants to stall out. A nice firm press of the gas pedal and it accelerates fine. Upon further inspection, I noticed that the fuel that comes out of the 2 venturi nozzles in the carb dribble out unevenly when throttle is applied... now if I remember correctly TB injectors are supposed to spray fine even mists into the engine. Does this same principle hold for carburetor fuel delivery?
I went ahead and removed the venturi cluster, cleaned out the idle pickup tubes, venturi nozzles, and anything with a passage with some guitar wire. They weren't plugged and I got the same result afterwards.
I'm thinking that when feathering the gas pedal, the uneven dribble of fuel causes it to run rich and stumble. Is this normal carb behavior or am I looking at some sort of internal carb wear. Thanks for any info.
