Thanks for the appreciation!! Glad I could help!

Thank you! I haven't made many videos and was trying to capture what most videos i had found were lacking.. hopefully those who view it find it helpful!

Jason Kman no doubt

What was the problem? Just bought an 88 YJ with the 4.2 and its doing the same thing.... Bad too!

Yes, this was a mistake on my part. I should have been more clear on this video and said “this is how you set initial timing.” The vacuum advance will advance timing with increased RPM

good idea! that would have been a great additive for those who would like to know!

frank jones carburetor and the other day pass

T Williams I don’t believe the transmission was rebuilt when I had it, nor did I rebuild it. I had tuned the carburetor to run smoothly and correctly when I had it, it’s possible the gentleman I sold it to may have tuned it differently. Do you enjoy driving it?

Jason Kman trying to get it up and running is burning a qtr of a tank fast and the tranny is having issues is there a way to chat on Facebook or etc. the person let it sit for awhile so I had to do some work on it

T Williams If it’s been sitting I recommend a carb rebuild. It could have an air passageway plugged causing a Rich condition. If that doesn’t solve it, it could require tuning the idle air mixture screws, or even re jetting. Pull the spark plugs to see if it’s been running Rich 👍🏼 I don’t know what to say about the trans... make sure it has the right level of trans fluid. Check it on a level surface, with the Jeep idling In neutral, and at operating temperature. If that doesn’t solve it, I recommend a trans filter change :)

Thanks for your help was just trying to back track a little to see what was done to know where to start..... this will help me out a lot

@@rapidefire99 add an inline fuel pressure regulator, set to no more than 3.5

unfortunately, i have sold that particular jeep a few months ago. Not entirely sure which Weber carburetor was on it, but i do know it ran strong and smooth throughout the entire RPM band, and once i had it tuned, never ran lean or rich from what i could read of the sparkplugs. Not sure how well a weber performs on offcamber or steep inclines for offroad capabilities.. However i will tell you the best 2bbl offroad carb you can get is a Motorcraft 2150. Many jeeps came stock with them, and it's the same carb my 82 wagoneer has and will continue to chug and idle along even with headlights pointed at the sky :)

Jason Kman its the 38dges

I just found your posting. That is a Chinese copy of a 32/36. Not a 38/38, which is virtually the same size as the Carter BBD and Motorcraft 2100/2150. The real Weber 38 DGES is the realistic same size and is closest to the stock size BBD and 2100. Fact

@@tomengle7176 I have the same 32/36 it's not a Chinese copy it came Direct from weber

@@fxrsniper1 Let me guess, sticker that read "Weber Redline North America?" if it has a black choke housing, it's from ChYna.

Jelpmy may yeep 96

That way

I was wondering the same thing. In the video he went back and forth but never mentioned which way was advancing the timing. I guess just turn it one way and check it to find out. I'm thinking it's clockwise though.

yes

adding an O2 sensor is a great benefit for tuning the air fuel mixture on any engine but not necessarily a requirement. This particular engine is carbureted and has been tuned through extensive engine runs and reading of spark plugs to the point where it is as efficient as i am capable of getting it. If you're looking to tune the air fuel mixture, you can do some reading on the basics of spark plugs readings and then tune the carburetor if you're so mechanically inclined

I agree; wouldn’t have chosen it either. But it’s what was on it when I bought it and never got around to it before selling it

Previous owner swapped in a crate 258

please explain in more detail . mine looks like his . ? Do mean the mechanism on the distributer ?

Ja so ist es.

according to Mitchell it is 6 BTDC @1600. 8 is close enough i suppose.

The procedure you took was correct for aftermarket or nutter bypassed OEM carbs. If you can get away without pinging you can go even more advanced. 8 is okay. I like 10-12.
