PEAK PUTTERS

does anyone know how to rebuild a carb? or would like to teach/help me rebuild mine?

What is it?

this is dylan on zachs account, its a carter 2brl

Throw it away and get a Rochester. I kid not...Get with John at P.A.W. and see what he's got laying around. Need one off a late 60's GM.

Rochester dual jet... Stone simple and they just flat work. I can have one off rebuild it and have it back on the rig running in about 45 minutes if I stop for lunch in the middle.

Zach, what year is your rig? The rochester dual jet is not a bad carb, but some use electronic emission stuff. You may want to get one from a pre 80s rig. I seem to remember reading that a motorcraft 2100 may be a good option for a 4.2li.

no that was dylan with his 84 cj7

im trying to go with the cheapest route. my carb has vacuum lines coming from it and all that jazz, i would like to replace it eventually but i dont want to start tearing out the lines and causing more problems. if its about the same price to rebuild or get a rochester then ill go with the latter. then maybe i can get rid of that swiss cheese air breather ive got on there now and eliminate a few vacuum lines. but im on a very tight budget right now so cheap cheap cheap.

Seriously, toss the Carter and get a Rochester. Pull all the vacuum crap, and get the thing to run like it should...You can use the routing in the Scout as a guide.

didnt know they still made carbs... I thot it was all infected theses days.. but i do know of someone who can rebuild a good motorcraft ..

What problems are you having with your carb?

It leaks pretty bad.

It meters fuel better coming out the side and dripping on the exhaust/engine than it does fuel going into the engine?

J/K

I have the single-barrel stock carb from my 2.5 you can have if it'll fit. I believe it is the same carb used on the 6-cylinder engines. I think it's the one they are saying to avoid, though, since it says "Carter / Weber" on it.

If you want to rebuild your carb, try Nine to Nine or AAW for a kit. They are probably around $40.

If you need any help, let me know!

ill call paw this week and see what they got, if they dont have a rochester ill just rebuild mine i think. oh and lurch, im gonna duct tape those holes in my air breather for now. lol

duck tape fixes everything,

i think lurch is trying to tell you to get a new one dylan

Pull out the transfer case and the crank shaft. Now scrap the rest of the drivetrain and start over with a 4.0 with that 4.2 crank and some other misc parts to build a sweet 4.6 stroker with a ax15 between that and the 300. Now dig up some waggy axles and your golden.



Or just dig up a carb...

2x on the motorcraft 2100 conversion. Had a friend do this on his Scout (with a 258), made a huge difference.

E-bay has some conversion kits but the parts aren't hard to source, well, the that style of carb might be a little harder to find since none have been made for close to 30yrs.

that motorcraft conversion sounds good. im intrigued. i am willing to go for it, if any of y'all would like to help me out it would me much appreciated. i dont want to mess it up, or buy the wrong parts for that matter. lol I have the next however long i want off from work due to my recent unemployment. so im available whenever to go for this.

Does your rig have the silly verticle pull on the cable, or is it horizontal?

you talkin the throttle cable? its horizontal

Okay, you won't have to invent anything to adapt like we did on the Scout.

good. lol
