I'm rebuilding the carb on the '81 exArmy CJ5. It's the Rochester E2SE and my vacuum test show the mixture control solenoid is caput. My delema is that I can not find this part under $85 and as there might be other problems when the rebuild is finished (I'm no expert here I might adjust the carb wrong) should I spend the $350 for a new carb, buy the bit or just put the bad solenoid back and hope it runs OK and passes California smog?
If you recommend I buy the new carb shall I stay with the E2SE or are there any cheaper or better alternatives?
Thanks,
Mike Stevens
