Rebuilding 2150 Carb, what parts needed?

[Charles Kline]

How did you decide which power valve to get?

JMO - if the QuickFuel valve is single-stage, it has to be opening sooner and running richer than the 2-stage OEM replacement. Depending on your state and what's important to you, you may or may not care. These two styles of valves have a different design, and - also IMO - you can't tell much about them by looking at them.

Note the comments on the Harbor Freight site - users recommend the Simple Green degreaser (which is not green), not the regular Simple Green. I'd expect any "degreaser" detergent would work ... I have used "Purple Power" from the HD with good success, but not in an US cleaner.

Note that Holley ahs a tech page about how to pick a power valve for your application. http://documents.holley.com/techlibrary ... valves.pdf This assumes a single-stage valve.

Well isn't this fun. Ants in the sediment area. And pieces of nut shells. Carb must have been dry for a while at one point. One major bit of questions I'll have once this is done is what vacuum ports are and are not used on here. The vacuum port on my power valve was capped, and so were at least 2 other ports.

Crazy!

Capped power valve meant it was constantly enriching the ratio but with all that junk in the bottom it probably wasn't doing much.

What's your elevation? I see you have 55 jets. Do you know where your Jeep came from originally?

We're discussing the different jets and what they should be on my hesitation thread: http://www.fsjnetwork.com/forum/viewtop ... ead#unread

The Jeep has definitely always run rich for me. I bought it in FL, but it's in PA now. Only history I have goes back to about 2010 and it was always a FL/Southern GA truck from that history. My current elevation in the second floor of my house according to MotionX-GPS is 319 ft. The highest that motor will probably ever see realistically under my use is 2500 feet.

Stupid question, what are these two things?

You have the TSM for your year? You should be using the book as your guide.

Carburetor idle solenoid, aneroid (altitude compensator).
