There wasn't an arrow for a drop down box?

I don't know if this applies, but it is worth checking out.

I suspect the unit is seized in the rich position which makes for no
vacuum holding according to the book.

Jeep carb parts like the chokes and other brass rods have a tendency to
corrode where the brass goes through the white metal the case pieces are
made out of. This can be fixed by spraying with copious amounts of carb
cleaner or a good penetrating oil like PB Blaster, letting them soak,
then working them gently with a pair if vise grips to break them free.

This happens a 'lot' on the 80's carbs I see and repair. If you can
make the part move by hand already, then ignore this, but if it is
seized, this might fix it.

You will not likely be able to make it run with the wrong needle and
seat though, it's not just thread size.... You might have to buy
another kit....

was hoping to sell the CJ5 to see me throiugh a while. If I had the cash I'd
just buy a new carb. (Thinks???) Maybe I get my wife to sell her bug. AND

One other thing came to mind, does it move when you put the power to it?

Too bad about the blown part. I think I would look for a used carb for
parts. Maybe someone upgraded and has the old one kicking around? There
are two Rochester E2SE carbs for sale on ebay for $75 each....

I doubt it would pass the smog, but how does it run like that?

If you recommend I buy the new carb shall I stay with the E2SE or are

I don't see what you sugest I un-freeze. I can see no moving parts that are
accessible. The unit has those six holes in the side and you can see little
inside or get to anything to work it. I shall however let it soak for today.
I am going to take a chance on my engineering skills re the needle and seat.
I am told the kit I have IS the right one when it clearly is not. I will
retap the the needle seat insert so as to not modify the carb in any way
leaving my options open. As I see it all I need do is to get the needle seat
set at the correct height and this looks no big challenge as when I set the
float level any inacuracies will show up and I can screw in or out the
needdle seat to compensate. Any advice however before I do thias tonight is
much welcome. If this fails I will just have to buy a rebuilt carb as I do
not have time to mess with this much more. Thanks for input to date guys.
Jeep guys are cool and I regret moving to a Land Cruiser but I have bad
pains in my neck and need cover and warmth in my old age.

Regarding the spell check menu the drop down box is there but its only entry
in French?

Ok, I don't know what i am looking at then. The photo I thought was
right shows a rod coming out of it. The book calls it the mixture
control solenoid stem and it is supposed to be removable with an O-ring
under it. I was under the impression this should be a moving part.
