I'm rebuilding the carb on the '81 exArmy CJ5. It's the Rochester E2SE and
my vacuum test show the mixture control solenoid is caput. My delema is that
I can not find this part under $85 and as there might be other problems when
the rebuild is finished (I'm no expert here I might adjust the carb wrong)
should I spend the
$350 for a new carb, buy the bit or just put the bad solenoid back and hope
it runs OK and passes California smog?

If you recommend I buy the new carb shall I stay with the E2SE or are there
any cheaper or better alternatives?

Thanks,

Mike Stevens

That part is 'supposed' to leak vacuum. It is called leak down and it
is supposed to drop from 20 inches to 15 or five inches in 5 seconds.
My book doesn't say how fast to 0, but the top test.

Oh and if the power is off to the part, it will not hold any vacuum....

Hi Mike: How are thos Canadian snows this year?
I know what it does and the specs-I do RTFM. I've tested it and it holds no
vacuum energised or not, hence my question.

We have basically no snow at all here in Southern Ontario. I was up
north a couple weeks ago and they had very little too. Barely enough to
run a sled on.

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?

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

See nothing move not hear any noise. But I got bigger problems. The needle
and seat in the kit is quite different from in my carb and I think I threw
the old needleaway! The only way I can now see to get it back together is to
retap the hole or re thread the seat. Things are real tight right now and I
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
now as I proof this message I see my Outlook Express has a Foreign spell
checker. Just for fun after I send this post I'll send you the corrected by
Outlook!
