Hello folks I was pointed here by some folks that said that someone here might be able to help me with a problem I have.
88 Jeep YJ Carter Carb (new April or May 2003) 4.2 L with 220,000 kmsOk the problem is this vehicle will crank and sometimes fire then sputter but most times I have to put the peddle to the floor then it will start. It has an electric choke that closes off when it cools and it opens after it starts, I was told I need to adjust the choke by rotating the black cap which adjusts the coil tension but I'm not sure which way I need to go.
Turning it forward I have deducted that it places more tension on the choke and holds it closed I bit harder. So I assume that this will keep it closed longer? If this is the case then wouldn't I need to back off this tension a bit? Where should the vacuum pull off be connected to? I have been told ported and someone else said manifold. Short of going with a manual choke do you folks have any suggestions? Should I be using the indicator marks on the choke adjustment or just adjust it to where it works? Sorry for all the questions but I need this vehicle to be working properly this winter it is my ride to work. I have recently replaced plugs/wires and various other pieces related to my problem but everything keeps pointing back to carb problems.
