I definitely think there is something up with the carb. If it will run with some choke when warm, the problem is most likely in the idle circuit of the carburetor. If it runs with some choke the...
Another good looking skin graph there 56'!
I agree with gm, it looks like there is crud in the carb. If the trick gm proposes doesn't get it done, it sounds like a carb tear down is in order.
When it is sputtering when "Warm" and the choke...
That is a premium build there TJ! Very clean. That cage turned out great.
I am just guessing that's even it, but it could be. Any fuel sitting in the carb for 5 years will usually evaporate out. The volatile ingredients go first, and the detergents and additives usually...
Nice looking Jeep!
I am wondering if it didn't pick up some crud in the carb. It could have junk floating around in the fuel bowl.
OK I got ya now. First guess, it sounds like it might be getting too much fuel. The cold engine may run with it but the warm engine wont. If you are seeing fuel squirt from the accel pump, it is not...
Hello John! Yes clarify "cranks" for us. I think you are saying it runs great when its cold then dies as it warms. By "cranks" I am guessing you mean firing. How are you operating the choke? If you...
Very cool trip there for sure gm! Wow what a "roughin' it across the US" those guys did. I think that's one for the memory banks.
That is an experience for sure! I think a trip across the USA in a vehicle is a must for the American Bucket list.
Remove the spark plugs to make it easy to turn the engine over. With your thumb over the number one spark plug hole (front cylinder), rotate the engine until you feel the compression pressure pushing...
Nice! I love the black, that thing looks like it is workin' in the 50's!
Wow what a collection of brochures gm! I agree Larry, what a trip down memory lane.
dg I would just be happy as heck "with two of those"!
The SM-1002-XX manual was reproduced in a running format. Each edition was intended to cover prior model years. Sometimes the prior specs and process were left out. The -R 1 through 6 indicate the...
If you can find a copy of your original 1961 Jeep Service manual, you might find them there. There are some torque specs in the back pages (Section U p275) of the -R6 reprinted Universal Manual. You...
In gm's "DeLorean Willys" you only need to sit in it to go back in time!

The tank looks great Mike! I was wondering how your shop would do. The patina is just right for your project. Don't forget there's rubber cushions under the tank.
Wow at the fuel pumps gm! It amazed me how the red hot brake drum just kept igniting the gear oil that was running out past the destroyed seals. You put it out with the extinguisher and it just...
Good find, it looks like "Super S" is another good "Corn Head" type grease. Any 00 grease that has Extreme Pressure Capability will get the job done on the early steering boxes. It appears Tractor...
Looking sweet TJ! Moving along nicely. So the Air Conditioning is going to be hooked to the helmets?
gm, I lit an 18 wheel semi on fire leaving the parking brake on! It was empty and just like you said, I couldn't tell I was pulling right through it. It definitely can happen when you are crawling in...
There is so much confusion on this one because so much has been used. Basically if it is an Extreme Pressure lube and fairly thick (i.e. Hypoid Gear Oil GL5 not GL4, or Extreme Pressure Grease etc.)...
The service manual and the owners glove box manual do not help the confusion. The service manual calls for a Military Specification MIL-L-2105B. That is a Military spec for NLGI grade 4, and the...
