update: carb aint as shot as i thought it was, the float level was off, exhaust leak in the tail pipe is fixed, it should pass inspection tuesday, if it does all i have left to do to the truck is fix the radio, make the fog lights work and lastly, learn how to drive stick, Redwolf

trails out on you're own property huh? sounds like someone want to start a little fun Redwolf

So glad I already have a random carb lying around and access to all the materials and equipment necessary to make it work...saves me the trouble of buying stuff :D no kiddin, i know my carb is shot because i rebuild it with the rebuild kit and it's suckin gas worse than a hummer h2, so i gotta find somethin to fix it weather it's a carb outta a junkyard or a new remanufactored carb, Redwolf

yup, either that or i might buy a weber or a remanufactored rotchester 2se, Redwolf

all this week and last week i have seen a total of 3 comanches, other than my own, when i went out to get parts for mine, all blue, one was a pioneer all blue, another was a blue one (if i remember right a pioneer as well) with a black driver side fender, and a blue one with a green camper shell, glad to know i'm not the only one in virginia beach with a MJ, sure would like to meet all yall in the virginia beach area once i get mine runnin and inspected, Redwolf

Honestly, with a little bit of ingenuity, i think you could make any two barrel fit. My dad has a motorcraft 2 barrel off of his old dodge 318, and I'm working on making an adapter plate to bolt it to the tbi intake that was on the s10 engine before i swapped it. I'll let you know how it goes..but for ready-to-go aftermarket, the 2se is all i know of... i'll probably figure a way to adapt a new one as long as it's a 2 barrel but that's my last project, right now i'm gettin my MJ passable for inspection, i just fixed my power steering (knock on wood) thrid time's the charm, now i gotta replace the flexable break lines and cut off my tail pipe and route it just before the rear tire just long enough to get a new one, Redwolf

that's what i'm gonna end up doin, i have no tac meter, are there any "after market" carbs i could put on my truck or just a 2se? Redwolf

ok, well i'll eventually learn em and learn how to drive stick, right now i just gotta work with the stuff i failed inspection for, and work on gettin a new carb, one that aint a 2se, maybe a holly, Redwolf

thanks, could i do 15, 25, 35, and 45, then 55 for 5th, also i still have a high idle on start up, it went down since i changed the fan clutch but still bad, i can't think of anything, choke on or off it does it, Redwolf

new update: the power steerin is fixed, went out to the junkyard and got a power steerin line off a 94 gmc sonoma and tried usin the o rings off it, that ended up not workin so i had to put the whole newer line on and now my mj has easier steerin than my mothers 2011 jeep liberty and my fathers 2001 jeep wrangler....yay.....now i just gotta adjust the valves then it's time for state inspection, Redwolf

thanks for the tip, i never did see a gasket for it but me and my father did replace the o ring on the distributors drive gear, Redwolf

update: the oil leak is fixed my not so smart father forgot to put the distributor all the way down and tightin the bolt for it, now my power steerin pump srapys like a fire hose and i gotta adjust the valves, it's gettin down hopefully tomorrow, does any one know what speeds i shift into what gear on the 5 speeds? Redwolf

i don't beleive i have a distributor gasket but it looks like the leak is comin from the distributor, i got the truck to stay runnin even when the choke is turned off, the fuel air mix was not right but i never gave it enough time to warm up like an idiot, i can't hear the vaccum leak anymore so my main issue now is the oil leak, i'm thinkin the distributor might be shot, could it leak oil if it was and also what would a distributor gasket look like if it had one, Redwolf

update: the carb is on, the air cleaner is on, EVERYTHING is on, but when i start my comanche it idols really high like 4000 or 5000 rpms then drops to a lower idiol like 1500 or 2000 rpms and that's with the manual choke on, i turn the manual choke off the truck dies, and after every rev from dancin on the gas pedal ya can hear a hissin noise from outside the truck like a vacum leak and i still have a oil leak from the rear of the engine but i have all the gaskets on but it's commin from the top rear of the engine, any ideas yall? Redwolf

got the carb yesterday, it's a E2SE instead of a 2SE but i can still use it for parts and that's what i got it, i'm no longer workin night shifts.....yay normal sleep again, so hopefully the mj will be runnin this weekend, still a few more things i gotta do to it though but right now it's all bout the carb, Redwolf

haven't had time to work on the mj lately, i've been workin night shifts, i bought a used E2SE carb off ebay the other day, just for parts so once it gets here hopefully she'll be done gettin parts for a while, i plan on doin some inside work like rippin the paddin out that's holdin water and paintin it with oil bases enamble since i aint got the money for all that bed liner stuff, i'll keep the updates comin when i get more, Redwolf

cheaper aint always better, but all the cheaper stuff i'm buyin is only a temp fix, i'm gonna overhaul my whole MJ bumper to bumper, and it's gonna look show room new, Redwolf

dealer aint got anything later than 01, auto part stores will only sell a carb rebuild kit or new carb, one of the local junkyards one have tbi engines so i gotta call pick n pull tomorrow and see if they got anything with a carb, doubt it but it's better than buyin a 300 dollar carb, Redwolf

found out what the issue was with the carb, the throttle has play in is and the throttle plate has a hair line crack it in, needle and seat wear worn down as well, anyone know where i can get the throttle plate for a 2se carb? Redwolf

i've played around with the screw and when it gets screwed in more it shuts the engine off, i have a manual choke so i've played around with that along with combanations that we could combind with the choke and screw and still the same resualt, i have left over gaskets cause i bought the full gasket set and there's always left overs, i got 3 gaskets left, heads, and 2 funky ones, but i bought a new carb base plate gasket so that'll go on with the carb when it's rebuilt and i'm thinkin i might take a video of my carb when it's pulled apart so i know how it all goes back together and such, i'm thinkin the neddle inside the carb is stickin cause all my hoses are connected, the only hose i don't have is the air intake hose from the grille to the air cleaner, Redwolf

can't find the gasket for the distributor and i've kept all my left over gaskets, and there's no leaks in the vacum hoses, i've checked em all, the only thing i can think of at this point is the carb, but i got a rebuild kit so i'll soon find out if that's the problem Redwolf

what do ya mean by the dizzy and could a hose from an air cleaner missin cause the high idle? Redwolf

it's a rubber gasket set, the only thing cork is the oil pan gasket, it looks like the leak is comin from the distributer but i'm not sure Redwolf

I have a mystery oil leak too. Although I'm fairly certain its from the rear main seal. And I would assume your carb needs adjusted or rebuilt. i'm thinkin rebuilt or a new one and the oil leak for me ain't comin from the rear main seal, it's riverin down the engine, Redwolf

got the engine all put back together and we can get it to crank and start but it'll have a EXTREMELY high idiol like you're bouta blow the engine and if we try to lower the idiol it shuts off, if it acts like it's gonna start but doesn't wanna i give it gas and it starts and has a low idiol, me and my dad can't figure it out, everything is tight and torqued properly, we also have a mystery oil leak and can't figure it out cause everything is on, any ideas cause i'd really like to keep this mj Redwolf
