Did you add a fuel filter to the setup? All of the rebuild dirt may have finally accumulated in there.
Oh, by the way - tell us about Hank. We've not seen or heard from him for a while. How is that baby doing?

broke down and ordered a new carb, the original one has problems, no way can tighten the top on it, the threads are stripped, going to get a helicoil kit 10/24 to re thread it. 29.00 comes with coils, taps and die and tool to install. if this works then i will send it in for rebuild (factory rebuild).... if i can not repair threads then only out 29.00
here is new one

got the adapter for air cleaner also
wHAT A DIFFERENCE THIS NEW CARB MADE......
Really quite amazing, still plan on heli coil repair to the original carb, once i have good threads am going to send it in for "SHOWROOM QUALITY" repair/rebuild from Kaiser.
only thing that pissed me off today was the fact that the darn valve cover gasket gave up the ghost
Use a Fel-Pro on the valve cover. VS 6617 C
holy speedometer batman.. Said what the hell took it out on main highway NC24 and opened it up. now my speedometer only goes to 60mph.. i pinned it?? Yaeah pinned the sucker, ran smooth no vibrations, no noises (to speak of) oil pressure great, temp 170, battery indicator in the green solid. Did I stay there, hell not, and that probably will be my only time at 60mph in a open jeep. really not that comfortable or else i am a big chicken, someof both maybe. one thing i liked is at lower speeds could actually let go of steering wheel and it tracked
that new carb, wow great investment
its Jake and he is a wild child, not jeep broken yet, but he gets in it in garage and tells me what to do, soon will get a harness and that will only give him back seat mobility
his favorite position
