Hi guys,
My 82 CJ-8 sat for about a year and half before recently firing it back up. I put in some new gas, but did not drain the old before running it( that was dumb). It started and ran just fine for about 3 weeks, and just recently won't start. It will crank, but will not fire. If I spray some carb cleaner into the carb, it will fire up and run with no issues. But if I shut it down and don't start it up again within about 30 minutes, it won't fire again.
Does this sound like a carburetor issue, or something else wrong with the fuel system? I've seen in a couple of threads from way back, concerning similar issues, that the fuel pump can be a suspect as well.
Just need a spot to start from to get it running again
Thanks,
C
