New Carb compatible for Jeep 2-Barrel BBD 6 CYL 4.2L 258 CJ5 Wagoneer Carburetor

Good carb, engine started right up.No more raw fuel pouring into throttle body.

Fantastic right out of the box! I did not need to adjust a thing on my 1987 Jeep YJ 4.2L. Way better than rebuilt.

If I knew I could have solved idle and choke issues for about $100.00, I would have replaced the carburetor with this one years ago.

I'll say first that I only just installed it, but it seems to be working fine. This is a "non stepper" model, which is perfect for me as my 1981 CJ7 with the 258 engine has had most of the emissions equipment removed at some point in its life. This says "83-87" but it's a basic Carter BBD knockoff carburetor and works fine with my 81 as I don't need the stepper motor. Out of the box the curb idle seemed to be set pretty well, the idle mix screws came set with 4 turns. I'm sure they'll need to be dialed in, but that's pretty much spec for this application. I didn't open the top of it so I can't be sure the floats are set right, but since the other things seemed right I'm not going to open it and mess with it unless I need to. It came with two gaskets, they were decent quality cardboard, sort of what you'd expect. All in all, it's just what I needed to get my "new" project running so I can get things dialed in. I don't know if it's going to last a long time or not, but for 100 bucks I just wanted something that works for the time being and it does just that.

Seems good so far and appears an exact match for the original in my 1980 CJ7. However, wish it had a manual showing the adjustment points, factory defaults, etc.
