No spark

Found on the side of the road?

Buddy give it to you?

Has been on the jeep since it left the factory and no man has ever been inside since?

Jeep was in a barn for 20 years, never was fired up during that time?

It was rebuilt by the petty racing team 2 weeks ago?

I was sorta looking for a reason why it's "possibly" dumping gas!

The medic

Actually he ("willy") is a 1946 cj-2a, willys jeep made just after the war. In the 1st pic (if you can see it), he's like the one 3rd row down, forth to the right.

I really wanted a "mb" (2nd row, forth to the right, but back in 1991 there was no internet. All the mbs I came across were incomplete or crap, none even close to running, however, the owners considered them gold, the lowest priced one was $750, junk! I had limited fundage and no time to travel to find what I wanted.

I got my '77 cj-5 in 1991 also. He ("mr. Jeep") was in excellent shape, he cost me $2200, he's my 6th cj-5, never had anything else! Now that i'm older and more responsible (and still broke) "mr. Jeep" has lasted the longest

(i started out with nuthin' and I still have most of it left)

Along my quest I came across "willy", willy was complete (less one brake drum), the body was shot (a 55 gallon drum of bondo held what was left together, the body was not a keeper)

1946-1948 cj-2as were a really close enough relative to the '41-'45 mb for me, so I jumped on this one. I gave the man a whopping $100, he signed over the original title, and I loaded him on my buddy's trailer.

Here's the kicker!

They all laughed as I unloaded him (family, and neighbors) and my buddy shoved him into the one car garage of the duplex I rented with his push bar.

Two years later, he rolled out looking real close to a "mb", I am still making improvements to make him get closer. The numbers on the hood is my daughter's birth date. She learned how to drive him well by age 10, took her driver's test in him too! (Yep, with no seat belts, and she hand cranked him, instead of using the starter)

He's not perfect, he'll get called out as an imposter by those who know their jeeps, but for the most part, he'll fool the majority.

Although there are many subtle differences, a quick way to tell a wwii mb from a korean war m-38 is the shovel and ax is on the drivers side of a mb, and on the passenger side of a m-38. Notice where I did the body work to make my shovel and ax fit!

I could go on and on

But

Whats the carb history on yours, so we can diagnose or make suggestions?

The medic

Buy a battery?

"trt 30" is the best-us code for anything over $50

Usually the intake sucks/ vaporizes any fuel in the intake while the engine is running, so it's dry when you shut the engine off

If it has not run, you have been actuating the pedal/ throttle. Each time the accelerator pump has moved up and down and squirted a stream of fuel down the carbs throat.

So, however many times you throttled it you have puddled fuel in the intake.

Holding the pedal to the floor and cranking the engine will "un"-flood the engine, as fuel is sucked on thru

Usually, when I wanna try to start a stubborn engine/ or diagnose one quickly (like, does it have spark without testing, a splash of fuel is fast and ez) i'd guess that i'm putting in no more than about 2 teaspoons of fuel

Still no start?

Loosen the distributor a little and slowly move it both ways while it is being cranked. Does it start or at least sound more like it wants to in the different position?

Is your firing order clockwise?

(my motorcraft below, clockwise rotation like a prestolite)

Made you another diagram

The medic

No hurry.

That cj has been off of the road too long!

Don't let it wind up like these "we" keep at my buddy's place

Send the link to the video!

A young jeep friend (just outta college) of mine showed me a bunch of snotty looking oil blowing into the breather. Definitely coolant in the oil. He ran it pretty hot. His engine was already smokin' some. He doesn't even wanna try to fix it. Kinda had that look like his best friend had died, and of course, fundage is really tight.

Another friend of mine who owns a production rebuilt engine shop, invited me over to his place two days later and asked me if I wanted to buy a crated 258 rebuilt by gm that was hidden for over 10 years in his "hoarder like" shop. Told me I could cart it away for $850.

I reckon ole tucker will have an organism when I spring the news on him, soon as I get off of here.

Pic of his "5" below, pic of him in my willys ("willy")-he's "sorta" looking for one of them too.
