Thanks all, again! I've ordered new shackles but they're back ordered. Jeep Hut had a decent price but they're back ordered until May. I can't wait...

Just as a further comment on BMorgil's note: Old Jeeps stink. The simple carburetor and engines make a lot different exhaust chemistry than...

It's good to hear from you again. We all understand ... alive more or less ... . Just take it easy crawling around under things. I'd go with...

I actually drove around the block a few times with no brakes at all. I just kept it in the super low gear. I let off on the gas and it nearly comes...

If you get that piece of fence it deserves to go in the Fence Hall of Fame. I will look into finding a carb kit for my engine. Will keep you...

I will bring back an official Az endorsed piece of the fence, if he doesn't stay off that choke! Ha ha Az is always ribbing me. He learned it from...

Very interesting stuff. Don't mean to derail your thread AZ. When I started my 4 year old snowblower this winter, it was stuttering. Every spring, I...

Always good to be able to stop it!

Good to here you are on the road back Mark! I agree with gm, though I am not sure what "checked" means. For that price they should do you just fine....

Ha ha ha, I love it! Anything to keep you off the friggin choke. It is not there to make funny motor sounds. Az...... OK I'll settle down and wont...

Just be happy you only have one transmission shifter to contend with... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrbvQLxCjLM Chrome would not fit Cindy....

Welcome back Mark J. Glad you are on the road to recovery, and back at working on you 3B. In my opinion, I would go after the good checked used...

I'm back... alive more or less. Surgery was "successful" but still in pain. Doctor says it can take a year or more for results sometimes... In the...

Just to finish off this thread... I had major surgery back in November so the jeep had to wait. I started the overhaul before surgery and finished...

Alright so Columbo reruns are over and before the game I have time to focus on this ton of information. First, you hate chokes because you hate...

Good decisions come from experience. Experience comes from bad decisions. Mark Twain Every time I drive it, I get to choose! Freedom!!!

Az I keep yelling at you about that choke! Second time you horrified me by writing what you do to that motor. Washing the cylinder walls from a...

This one fits a jeep j truck and has a new millennials features such as an LED shift - o - meter indicator light. Also, so the story goes the...

Great information Bmorgil! Check out some vintage tachometers to ease the pain of too much information in a stylish wrapper. ...

Ha ha! You do remind me of a few I have known. Nothing wrong with driving by ear. I truly understand the feel thing and use it myself, as all do once...

My friend Bmorgil, I do not deserve you! That was exactly what I was asking. Thank you. However, to drive you completely off the edge, I'm a...

Start scratching you needed a "Tach-o-meter" for a long time. You are seriously looking at specific dyno rpm data and you are using ??? to determine...

Thank you. So Mrs Google says: Engine – Setting The Ignition Timing Correctly Before attempting to check/adjust the timing, make sure the air...

Nice graph! The most important info anyway. The torque and horsepower show smooth flat lines. The horsepower climbs nicely but on a fairly steep...

Thank you bmorgil. I'm going to get to that point. Makes me puke to think I would dyno an old racehorse, but a bit short of that, a full map in,...

Az I can say I have had drivers tell me some things, but not the things you just told me. However I think you are saying it doesn't lug like it used...

Upped the idle. Worked like a charm. Everything works better including the clutch. Yea I know. Nothing to do one with the other. Except it does. I...

I found an all original Jeepster that was in a shop for 40 years. It was a great help in identifying the original parts for my restoration and where...

I agree mrgt, what a classic look. I remember in the 60's thinking how "inferior" that old stuff looked compared to our cool looking stuff we "young"...

Lewis, the idle circuit is probably the culprit. I have written a few times about that circuit. Even in a brand new old stock rebuild kit that...
