1948 CJ2a "Hefty Horse"

Sometimes pressure will build in the system if pedal adjustment isn't right or if brakes are adjusted up too tight.

My lefty does it occasionally but will turn off after 3-5 minutes.

The jeep still needs choke but only when I open up the throttle. When driving if I pull the choke when putting the throttle down, it runs really well. If not itll choke and die

If you have to choke it (enrichen the mixture), that indicates that it’s too lean. It probably does not “choke (enrichen) and die”. It probably “leans out [runs out of fuel]” and dies. What does this indicate? Not enough fuel available; float level too low? Metering rod not lifting enough, or not soon enough? Enrichment circuit (accelerator pump) not delivering enough or not soon enough, or even the fuel pump not delivering enough fuel. 

  Electrical problems can cause apparent fuel problems. A rich mixture is easier to fire than a lean one. A weak spark may fire a rich mix and not a lean one. I had a worn distributor that acted like a lean mix, and replacing it solved the problem. Had me fooled for a while. So, yes, I suppose a distributor issue could be the one.

Wont run without choke and doesnt seem to like the pedal at all

And on top of it all I have no idea what I'm doing

Is the heavy carbon and indicator of something? The sparkalators are relatively new. I got this one soaking is gas to see if itll clean it up some
