Scott's build of a 1981 CJ8 Scrambler

[GraniteCrystal]

Weber 38ORGASM. Got it.

I know. I had the same thought. Poor choice of naming conventions.

There's a guy in my town with a CJ8 and with a top like this. It's a really nice rig with the exception of the top. I too think it looks nasty.

I gess he had to use what he had lol. It just doesnt look right to me either.

Air pump came in from Pep Boys. Now need to figure out the correct pulley for it.



Also discovered some leaves in an unidentified tube that goes behind the dash. Heating maybe?

 

[GraniteCrystal]

That's probably not supposed to be like that

I am enjoying watching you unravel the mystery of this Scrambler. Good luck, we're all counting on you. :beer:

I think that hose goes to the vent on the cowl. Eddie may have addressed this on one of the Jane videos. There is also a hose that is under the dash to let the water out of the hose that you found plugged with leaves.

The two rubber black hoses are for the heater. I would assume that the plugged one would be an evap core drain if the vehicle has ac. If not, I have no idea.

No AC in this bad boy.

No AC in this bad boy.

No doors, no top = AC :thumb:

Hmm. Good to know. For now I just vacuumed it out. Eventually I'll need to pull the dash and then I should have a better view.

Got the carburetor back from the shop. He replaced a few jets and, most importantly, actually explained how this thing works. Turns out what I thought was the mixture adjustment screw was a screw holding in a jet. So, when I thought I was giving it more gas, I was actually probably introducing a vacuum leak. So, cut a new gasket for the top part right now and then I'll bolt it back on. Fingers crossed!

Awesome! Hope it works out better for you.

 

[GraniteCrystal]

Also, according to carburetor man, proper torque on bolts crushing any of these gaskets is snug + 1/4 turn

Awesome! Hope it works out better for you.

Thanks! Me too!
