My original thread was on 10/23. I just drained the oil in my newly acquired jeep..from my sister. It had been sitting for many years..and there was water in it. well the newest update is this...I changed the oil, filter, plugs, plug wires, rotor, cap, points, condenser..started her up...now it starts..but won't keep running. First few times it really backfired..now it starts but won't keep running. When you give it the gas, it dies, and when you let it try and idle it dies. Any clues? SHould I focus on the carb..maybe rebuild it? The plugs look fine after I fired it up. I don't think it is electrical..atleast it is starting up and all. Thanks for the help. Paul
