hi all
i just rebuilt my WO same problem as before.
it starts and drives fine, but you cannot open the choke all the way...... i think the throttle body/shaft may be shot.
i cant find a kit or replacement for it anywhere.
how has anyone fixed this in the past?
a new throttle body is on ebay for $75 but.... thats ebay.... the roulette of online shopping
thoughts?

Your success depends on the model of the carburetor you own and your willingness to keep a fully correct carburetor on your Jeep or put together a hodge-podge of parts simply for the sake of reliability. The item you see advertised is a reproduction of the Part #407 Base commonly found on the WO 539S and early WO 698S installed in MBs and GPWs. It is a bargain at $75 plus shipping. They do function correctly when properly adjusted. They don't have a vacuum port for a Vacuum Advance Distributor and the big drawback is the lack of a manufacturer's warranty.
If you own a WO 636SA and want to keep it whole, the 505 base needs bushings and a new throttle shaft. I perform that service by installing bushings and milling a new shaft. I also clean, prep and Parkerize the cast iron body of the base. The best part is I offer a One-Year-From-Date-Of-Installation Warranty. Your warranty doesn't start until you install it, use it and submit the Warranty Registration Form. The cost to you is shipping to me and then $110 for the service plus the return shipping.

got it!
it was a screw that was letting it leak air. thankfully not the throttle body
still runs a little rough at 800 rpm idle, but i can finally open the choke all the way.
thank you!
