Rochester carb choke repair

[Joan Musemeche]

I have a 1985 Comanche Jeep with a Rochester carb. The choke is unusable. Any fix or kit or parts for this?

The first year for the Comanche was 1986. Are you certain you have a 1985 Jeep Comanche? What engine?

The '86 model year was first released in late '85.  I guess it depends on what you want to call it..

Rochester sounds like the Chevy 2.8 v6 Jeep used. Not sure what the 2.5 engine has I’d think it have to be whatever the renix system is.

If it’s is the 2.8 V6 honestly that carburetor is junk one of the Weber DGES 38 conversion kits would be better in the long run.

Far as parts for that carb they should be around if not in the Jeep parts catalogue then look under the 1984-5 Chevy s10 parts catalogue

You call it what the manufacturer called it, and Jeep called it a 1986. Just like my 2000 Cherokee Classic was bought in November of 1999, but Jeep called it a 2000 and it's titled and tagged as a 2000.

Agreed. Years ago there used to be a guy around here who specialized in carburetors for race cars. His business was called "Mr. Carburetor." I knew of him through having crewed on a stock car. I took one of those carbs to him for a friend. He worked on it and got it running, but he said they were junk and best used as paperweights.
