Just cos I know you all love a good problem to solve!
Well yesterday, whilst enjoying a day of work, 'cos I could not get there' I thought I would tackle my Jeep.
Well again, she turns over & fires enough to kick the starter out, but thats it.
So I took off the valve cover, then thought it would be easer to see if i removed the Carb and manifolds, carb was easy, but the two nuts under the manifold are right ########!
So, in having removed the carb, I noticed looking into the inlet manifold it was awash with fuel, I had to push in some rolled up paper towl to soak it all up, quite a bit!
I then took out each plug and sprayed penitrating oil in the ports, Then put the carb back and fired her up again...............this time with success! she ran, not as normal, ticked over fine but was a little hessident when revving.
So.................I thought thats it a sticking valve,
But this morning, back to square one! would not start, which anoyed me as I wanted to play with it in the snow!
So tonights job is to take off the cylinder head, turn over the engine and watch which valves stick .
will keep you all infomed
