That float bowl was used on the W0 models 431 & 853 "Universal" carburetors.
Since they could be put many engines, of different displacements, it has that Hi-Speed circuit adjustment needle. Not standard for a CJ-2A carb, but it might be nice having that adjustability!

I have this carb on my CJ2A now. I installed it for a trip to Colo a few years ago. When it ran too rich at higher altitudes it was easy to open the hood and lean it up alittle. But I need another one for my CJ3A. Any one out there have one or even just the fuel bowl. in all the years I have been in the Jeep repair business I have never seen another one. Willing to buy one from you or trade for a remanufactured 636SA Louie larson |

Louie:
So it surely is useful! Nice
Considering it wasn't a standard jeep part, not surprising. I'm curious now. Since it's mounted on a standard 636 throttle body (or at least has the correct linkages), I wonder how it got that way. I would guess:
Here's Carters spec sheet for he 431/835 (2.5 MB PDF, zipped): http://www.cj-2a.com/documentation/manuals/carter/Carter_WO-431_835.zip Sean PS, is the bottom of the flange number stamped? Edited by sean - 04 Jan. 2011 at 5:46pm |

I pulled the air horn off this carb today. The metering rod was correct (75-390)
The metering rod jet was incorrect (120-151s}, however this jet and the correct one (120-73s) are very close in size. .070 verses .075. This makes it a little lean so the high speed needle needs to be opened a little more than normal. The idle jets and accelerator jets are the same as the 636sa. This carb came to me some years ago with some cores I had purchased. This was the way i received it so I just overhauled it and ran it on my CJ2A for a number of years. I really worked well in Colo in the high altitude trails. I took it off and brought it with me when I did MVPA 2009 cross country convoy in my 41 MB. I started out pulling two trailers in tandem. The route 30 hiway in Penn is sorta hilly so when i got to Chambersburg Pa. , I took off the std 539S carb and put this one on. After a little trial & error ajusting of the high speed jet It ran really good. I averaged 17.4 MPG @ our convoy speed (35mph). I also palmed off the 2nd trailer in maryland. This trip was 3638 miles. |

Louie, on my way to a CJ2A meet, I think it was the Great Willys Picnic, I was on the Interstate just South of Gettysburg when I ran up on an MB following a Duce and a half. I was going 70+ MPH and obviously they were not. So, I slowed down and followed them off the Interstate into Gettysburg. They were part of what I think was your convoy. In town there were a couple Jeeps Pulled over at a gas station as one had broken down. I chatted with those guys for a few minutes and then got back on my way. Where can I read up on this adventure and future such conveys?

I am sure that was us. The GPW had a bad generator so we were waiting for a new batt from
a sears store close by. We had a new generator at the motel that night. What a trip, the most fun I have ever had in a Jeep. 23 days of solving problems and having a great experence. I had 4 problems, a broken left rear axel, coil to dist secondary wire, radiator cap, and a flat tire. The next convoy is the Alcan hiway in 2012. Type in MVPA convoy 09 on your computor. |
