ok guys this is about to drive me insane, and im about to sell my jeep i need to get it fixed, it shouldnt take long at all, as the majority of it is tuning... it all stems from a carb problem

(joel and i met up a while back and got the carb "baddog?" i think had given me as a core) it still hasnt ran since then...

ok, so i wanted to do the carter bbd -> MC2100 swap. so i got the carb. bolted everything up, got the linkage fixed, used to be up down, now front to back IIRC. and i cranked it up, i see smoke from under the hood. so i realize the electric choke wire was exposed and melting. i didnt hook it up because the mc2100 dosent have the same type of clip. i was wondering why it idled at 2k for so long, so i got on the forums, everyone said the best (not easiest) is install a manual choke, so i have more controll over it. so i go buy a 10 manual choke, and now im stuck. i cant figure out how to get the choke tang to catch the new gear i have. everytime the jeep cuts off it diesels because of all the gas being dumped. id also like to rip out all the stuff emissions etc.. that i dont need. get wires and hoses out of there

all i need is someone to install a manual choke for me, and mess with my idle adjustment if need be, just get the thing running right. someone who has done the mc2100 on a YJ before or someone who is VERY fluent in carbureators could probably fix all my problems in 20-30 mins. i just dont know what im doing when it comes to the carb. ANYONE who can help me, please let me know. WHENEVER you can help me is fine too just let me know, FWIW ill fill someones tank up, for coming out here, or just give them 50 bucks. whichever. im located in south winston salem.

gotta brand new carb sittin on a great motor, just need things to be tweeked so i can get this baby back out and on the road, and ready to sell.

thanks for anyones help.
 
When you installed the 2100 did you bypass the computer at the ignition module?
 
yes. i did, but after the "smoking" under the engine bay. i didnt know if it was the choke wire or the wiring i did, so i un did what i had done, and am waiting some help. but 99.9% sure its the choke wire, as it was melted as shit
 
I had your number long ago/earlier this year, I just didn't have the opportunity to make it over. Anywho, I'm out of town this weekend, pm me your number, and I'll see if I can be of assistance. I'm not promising anything, just maybe another set of eyes. I installed the MC2100 on my CJ, without the choke working.... I'm off Old Lexington Rd, on the southside also. I'll check the site Sunday evening, or Monday morning and see If we can touch base. Later, T.J.
 
damn man you must be RIGHT near me... i live off friendship ledford. so you couldnt be more than 5 miles from my house. nice. im sure we can figure something out, and if you cant fix it up, im sure you could help. anyway you just let me know when. fridays will ALWAYS be best for me.. and the weekends.

how old are you? or what school did you go to?

pmmed my number
 
bump. sorry for not being more active about trying to get MY own car fixed, but things have been crazy here lately. i just moved and i am waiting for time warner to come give me some internet, until then i can only get online at school :(

anyway offer still stands, thanks guys!
 
just finished the same swap on my cj
advance has a manual choke kit that has all the tangs and parts on how to hook up what i did was take all the automatic crap off the side of my 2100 and rand the cable right to the choke flap on the carb made a modified bracket to hold the cable.
will take some pictures of it tomarrow and post what i did and the instructions that came with the choke kit. i think the kit was only like 10 bucks or so.
i am expirecning the same thing you are lots of fuel. am upgrading to gm hei this weekend tho and getting rid of the motorcraft ign system.
