Yea, this carb looks really simple. I am taking video/pictures as I tear it apart, plus KW has some pretty good diagrams online and there's always YouTube. So I should be able to figure it out.
Since there was still a truck getting painted on the other side of the garage, I still can't grind on Flossy so I decided to attempt a carb rebuild. The one on flossy runs great except for what I...
Thanks Bob! I am still by no means good at welding, but I'm getting better! By the time Flossy is done i'll be a pro and the next Jeep will be a piece of cake!
Getting back into rust repair, I got this patch welded on the rocker. I haven't ground the welds yet since my brother is painting his truck frame. But it's completely welded so it will just need some...
Just thinking of ideas; could the float be out of adjustment enough to make it not run?
Another thing, what carb do you have? If it is a Solex, I have heard of people having trouble getting it...
Great work TJ, that Jeep is looking awesome! Air conditioning in a CJ is quite the luxury. Very nice work on that cage!
I had an amazing time, that's for sure. I had never been west farther than Toledo/Detroit before. So it was awesome to see so much new country. Driving a willys or any antique car (I think getting a...
After a nice break from welding I am back to work on the willys. I just got back from a road trip across the country to Utah. With some friends of mine. Was gone for about 2 weeks. And saw tons of...
Yes, front passenger side frame rail. Just behind the battery tray. It should be stamped on the top of the frame. Tip; if it's covered in grime, spraying some wd40 on it , that should make the...
Oh, Bmorgil, you got me thinking with that DeLorean reference.
A willys with gull-wing doors!!! The only problem is getting it to 88 mph!
I need a deadline to keep me motivated, otherwise it would be 3 more years before I finished this rust repair extravaganza. Sounds like you had a great experience with PeeJ and the Senior Chief! I...
"mostly due to Covid and having to buy weight sets for my two boys to continue their workouts while everything was closed [/QUOTE]
The good news is you have some buff guys to lift the tub off and...
Om my cj5 I pulled the tub off for rust repair, and it was well worth it! I could not be doing the work I am if it was still on the frame. For the few bolts and wire needed to disconnect, it takes 2...
Flossy is officially registered for Bantam!! I even singed it up for trailriding (lets see if it holds together).
Even got insurance on the old girl, now if I can just finish that welding, and...
Nice work with that fuel filler. Looks great!
I always thought the old rovers were neat, you'll have to do a comparison. And see if American is better than British 4x4s.
Welcome Tomer, a Google search should help you find a shop nearby. Or a local car club/parts store. Kaiser Willys https://www.kaiserwillys.com/ is located in South Carolina, I don't think they do...
Transmission tunnel fitment is almost done. I had left lots of excess material on the floor pans to ensure I had enough to weld to. So a little trimming and the trans. tunnel fit great, it's only...
Hey Bmorgil, if it's close that would be a fun restoration. And finished would look mighty fine rolling into a car show with the 3a towing the welder!
Also just the novelty of welding your jeep...
Found this on Craigslist today, thought I would share it. Looks really cool. Vintage Hobart welder trailer powered by an L134. 500 bucks.
I would love to bring it home, but Toledo is a little too...
Hey, it wouldn't be an old willys if everything was correct/up-to-modern standards! And that's all the more reason for me to like Flossy!
Nothing really stood out that it has been swapped. Still had wood in the hat channels and factory rubber ish insulators between body and frame. I did find some green overspray on the frame from when...
Passenger floor installed. I got it welded all along the perimeter, so now I just need to ad some more supports. Being the second one it went alot easier than the drivers side. Now ill finally have a...
Found the serial number today. In that exact spot the pic shows. It was really coverd in rust/grease so I never would have found it on my own. A little bit of wire brush and cleaner and it's legible....
Okay thanks GM. I had looked on the back by the shock and didnt find it. I never thought to look towards the front. Thank you again, I'll try to find it today.
