Oh, and thanks everyone for the tips and suggestions. Fortunately I had another float from a spare carburetor since the carb kit didn't come with...
Well, those that thought it was a flooding problem were correct. After pulling off the top cover of the carburetor the problem was obvious. The...
Thanks homersdog!! Looks like that kit is even available at our local parts store.
That would be appreciated. My '70 CJ5 is sitting in a barn out of state so I can't get to the carb. number easily. Thanks!
Hope all are OK with a stray question but what is the part number (NAPA?) for the carburetor rebuild kit? Are they all the same for the 225 V6?
Chances are the area would've still been prone to rust with the steel bushing type reinforcement if no other form of rust protection was applied....

I have a Delco distributor (not HEI), changed from the previous Prestolite. Yes, I have a tach.
What wheelie said. I recall pulling one out of my '70 CJ and it was only a few inches long.
I've had my '70 CJ5 (V6) stored in a barn for the past 9 months. While trying to start it a couple of weeks ago I couldn't get it to run without...
Yes, not to mention that the literature here totally refutes claims made by book authors that R1s came in only 3 colors, blue not being one of...
Real nice!!! What was your source for the exterior paint?
Hi Dave! Another San Diegan here. Let me know if you would like to take a ride in mine on the freeway. I have a stock '70 CJ5, 225 with 4.88...
Maybe a dumb question but are the kits now available suited for the gasoline used today? Seem to recall that the old seals and gaskets,...
