Hey Scoutpilot & everyone else,
Here is my question. Due to an idle problem at fall colors I did a carb swap with one somebody had on hand to get me up and running. A carb I had at home was shipped out to me and I gave it to the donor in exchange (a beautiful rebuild you had done for me ScoutPilot), anyhoo the donor carb ran great for me but I really wanted to understand these units better so when I got back I rebuilt the original carb to get familiar. I put the rebuild on my jeep but now I have a stumble when I ease on the gas, if I hit the accelerator aggressively there is no lag but slowly the engine falters and almost stalls out. I suspected the accelerator pump and put a different one in and it seemed to be a little better but it’s still doing it. Should I suspect the accelerator pump or the metering rod? The engine ran fine with the donor carb but I noticed a leak at one of the set screws and wanted to fix that but also wanted to see if I had done an acceptable job on the rebuild. I tried to buy a good rebuild kit but wasn’t sure if I did, the accelerator pump in the kit seemed to have a lot of slop when inserted in its shaft. I watched videos and read and reread the Carter manual (which I had purchased) so I tried to go by the book but any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Tom
