1980 Jeep CJ7 Running issues

When the engine cuts off, quickly check to see if you still have a spark at one of the spark plug wires.
Also, (with the engine OFF) look into the throat of the carburetor, operate the throttle linkage by hand to see if you notice fuel being sparyed into the carb from ports inside of the "barrels "of the carburetor. If not, the problem is fuel related. You would then try priming the carb.
Does the choke on the carburetor work?

Please post the result/answers here for further assistance. Thanks.

DID YOU INSTALL A NEW COIL PRIOR TO THIS ISSUE?

HOW MUCH OF YOUR BABY HAS BEEN MONKEYED WITH OVER THE YEARS. UNDER THE HOOD?

WHAT HAS BEEN MODIFIED FROM ORIGINAL?

WAS IT RUNNING FINE. THEN YOU PUT ON THE NEW/ REBUILT STUFF. THINGS WENT WELL FOR A WHILE. NOW THE SICKNESS?

IT WAS NOT RUNNING FINE. THEN YOU STARTED SLINGIN' THE PARTS AT IT?

. BE NICE TO KNOW WHAT ENGINE YOU HAVE.

EVEN PROPIN' THE HOOD BACK ON THE WINDSHIELD, REMOVING THE BREATHER COMPLETELY, GETTING SOME "FULL ENGINE SHOTS/ PICS" IN A WELL LIT AREA. WOULD LET ME SEE WHAT JUST PULLED UP INTO MY GARAGE!

I HAVE LOTS OF HOMEMADE PICS/ DIAGRAMS OF TRYING TO GET ONE OVER IT'S SICKNESS'

YOU ARE ALLOWED TO WRITE ME A NICE LONG NOVEL ABOUT YOUR PAL. THERE AFTER, I WILL BE WRITING THE NOVELS TO YOU, I'LL MOST LIKELY GET THE SHORT ONES BACK. THAT'S NORMALLY HOW IT GOES. BUT I DON'T MIND, THE CJs BUTTER MY BISCUIT!

YOUR TURN

THE MEDIC

YOU MUST REMAIN STRONG AND FOCUSED

I TOO, FALL INTO A DEEP DEPRESSION STATE WHEN ONE OF MINE IS SICK

HAVE WE MADE ANY PROGRESS?

AS MUCH AS I HATE TO SAY IT. IT HAS BEEN 2 MONTHS SINCE A CJ SHOWED UP HERE AND WE CORRESPONDED BACK AND FORTH WITH OVER 30 RESPONSES TILL IT WAS ALL BETTER

THE GOOD THING ABOUT FEW SHOWING UP HERE. GOES TO PROVE THEY ARE THE BEST VEHICLES EVER MADE

TWO OTHERS SHOWED UP A MONTH LATER, BUT DID NOT CORRESPOND 'CEPT MAYBE TWICE. AND THEN THEY WERE SILENT. NO NEWS

I HATE IT THAT YOURS IS SICK, BUT FIXIN' A CJ GIVES ME THAT "WARM FUZZY" THAT ANSWERING THE OTHER CARS JUST DOESN'T EVEN COME CLOSE TO

KEEP US POSTED
