    winch questions

    A 6000 would probably work, but I would go to at least an 8000lb. I am running a 9000lb because that's what I took off of my full sized truck when I sold it. Something serial wound is easier on the batteries, but a little slower. Low profile doesn't block your air flow for cooling as much. Dual...

    Quadratec.com or, if you feel like spending some money, JCWhitney.com. You might also check with Jeepdoc.com. He's usually reasonable if he carries the parts.

    Gas tank size question answered

    Sherrif Brody would That sounds like mine. I only have about an inch or a little more on the driver's side. And I know for certain now that it is a 20 gallon tank. I put 250 miles on it and put 18 gallons in. So I had 2 gallons of riding left. WooHoo.

    Gas tank size question answered

    My 87 doesn't have that luxury. When the needle quits bouncing, it's on the bottom of the tank. Just figured that out.

    Gas tank size question answered

    After reading here and on other sites all the confusion on what size tank a jeep has, I decided to figure mine out. Anyone can do it. Put 5 gallon tank in back of jeep. Drive until it is needed. Pour it in and get to the nearest gas station. I've had 5 extra gallons in the tank for 4 years and...

    winches

    RE: imagestation rant I've always had good luck with Warn. Mine has a Warn winch plate from quadratec, but a buddy is building his own. I've known others with Ramsey's who had no complaints. I think they run a little less than Warn. I personally like the low profile with lower amperage usage...

    90 wrangler yj horsepower

    I'm pretty sure the HO 4.0 started in 92. Unless they came earlier in the Cherokees.

    90 wrangler yj horsepower

    RE: Jeep still surges If the motor was weak to begin with, the Weber won't help. Others might suggest the TFI or HEI ignition upgrades, but I didn't get a noticable gain with the TFI. I'd try a good tune-up first and put a gauge on to check your gas pressure. The Weber doesn't work well with...

    Jeep still surges

    The 84 won't have a fuel rail. That's fuel injection equipment only. I know you're probably tired of the question, but are you positive there are no vacuum leaks? Also, check the tightness of your carb. It could also POSSIBLY be a leak in the intake manifold gasket or a loose bolt on the...

    CJ doesn't run right...engine surges

    Zipper on a soft top? Is your fuel filter new? You might also check your fuel pressure. You may be running out of gas in the bowl. The fuel pump may be marginal. That happened to me once.

    Major motorcraft carb problems--PLEASE HELP!

    I'm still trying to figure out how to reverse my choke coil!! That sounds like fun! :-)

    A few glitches after motorcraft and hei swap

    My guess would be a major air leak somewhere. Probably around the bottom of the carb after the butterflies. Manifold leak, carb base, etc. The one I tried to use had what looked like a relay contact on the top of the carb that was a direct hole to the bottom of the carb. I plugged that and it...

    carb help, hei, vacuum advance

    RE: Ok i have finally picked which lift I wouldn't expect the vacuum advance to cause this. Is your intake or exhaust manifold loose? That may cause the ticking noise. Also, if an intake valve doesn't close off you could get backfires through the carb.

    how can i get better gas mileage?

    Did it get good mileage with the TFI or did it start going downhill after the TFI? Also, did you replace the PCV valve? Not sure how much that would affect mileage, but it sounds like you are going to have to hit it one step at a time. Also, check that your carb or adapter plates haven't...

    motorcraft 2100/2150 conversion

    Re: RE: Idoling too low There's not a particular part number The carb tag numbers designate the year and what vehicle it came off of. Look for a late 70s to early 80s. Try this page for identifying a 2150: http://home.earthlink.net/~bubbaf250/parts/parts100.html

    Clutch question

    I pulled what we at work call an ID 10 T error. It helps to fill the reservoir before asking a question. If you don't get it, remove the spaces from the error number and reread.

    Clutch question

    This seems to be just the opposite from most posts I've read here and elsewhere. Clutch has been in and working for over a year. All of a sudden it is releasing and engaging about an inch from the floor. Cold or hot doesn't matter. If I hold the pedal in for several seconds, like at a stop...

    Dieseling on shut down

    RE: Question about Tire Size I'm setting the timing with the vacuum advance disconnected and plugged. Just put the Weber back on and the problem goes away. I'm sticking with the Weber even if it IS hard starting.

    Dieseling on shut down

    1988 YJ built for off road, Gloucester. 87 wrangler. After setting the timing to 8 btdc, it is iding about 900 rpm. I haven't messed with the idle mixture sine resetting the timing. It was advanced to about 11 btdc with the weber.

    Dieseling on shut down

    I have the 2150 installed and running----finally. Starts with one pump and seems to run great so far. But now the jeep sputters for about 5 seconds after turning off the key. What causes this? Just for reference, I went from a Weber 32/36 to this 2150 to see which I liked better.
