Just a thought.............. Robert

is the carb bolted tight to the base plate at the maifold seal (air leak)? Fresh gas tank? Add some alcohol and one teaspoon of white cane sugar into the gas tank. Also, a hidden vacuum leak will cause this and if it is small the sugar will seal it, generally. Let us all know. Robert

You may have a bent main shaft from the engine. Your problem is not common. When this cocurs, it is best to replace the flywheel and bendix at the same time and test for wear--Use factory parts. Do not mix-match the bendix and flywheel with third party parts. If you then meet with bad wear...

Youv'e done the right thing with the WD-40, and perhaps some liquid wrench. DO NOT USE HEAT. Let sit, and this may be for as much as a week, keep soaking repatedly, and tapping often, gently, and it will free itself in about that time. Be patient. Or as suggested, in tanum with above, a...

blowby oil to engine compartment, valve cover interior, dipstick, etc. CURE: Replace PVC filter and line and reinstall fresh one with an additional one in rear or front of valve cover, wherever there is room on the top of the cover. This is normal 4.0, 4.2 behavior, and no harm...

MileMarker seems to be a good fit and machine, in the ones I have on VEX F & R. I lost interest in Warn years ago and Ramsey ate gears. Just my experience Robert

You have what is called an 'open' in your wiring hookup to the starter solenenoid. CURE: Go to any parts house and ask for a copy of the starter-solenoid-ground set up instructions sheet for you Jeep, year, and starter set up. Re-wire correctly. Robert

This is the most likely, based on symptons. When the SSI and the module fail, they fail as described. Robert

A cheap brake line air flusher pump works good for voiding all moisture from the dark hidden confines of the slush box. Since, the water is thinner in viscosity than the oil, oil will remain, water evaccs. Robert

First, if it is a 6 get rid of the Weber and go with the 390 4 barrel Holley W/offroad kit. Did you check valves? Are you certain it is aspiration/fuel? The 390 Holley loves, and lives well, with our 6s. FI as a last resort Robert

You have an 'open**' in the light switch itself. Change the light switch unit first and that should do it. If trouble remains, change both the flasher and emergnecy and brake fuse cans in the fuse panel Robert **as opposed to a 'short'

Re: Really need some help! TJ-145 Lbs YJ-150 Lbs. CJ-152 Lbs. Robert

The key to your post is that the vibration stops with clutching. Cure: it is the throwout bearing and collar but check drivelines first. Robert

RE: Hardtop weight? You have 'broke' nothing. That smell is the smell of 90 weight oil when it is heated beyond application due to 'gear windup' while driving in 4 WD on pavement. Change nothing, hurt nothing. If you were to drive 45 miles like that, the Jeep will come to a stop, since it...

Ignition trouble with cj7 A FAE (Fuel Air Explosive) at 15,000lb., delivered. In dynamic remembrance for all those that have given their Last Full Measure. To those, thank you. Thank you. Robert
