Asked by TuFst4U Jul 28, 2015 at 01:02 AM about the 1982 Jeep CJ-5

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Could this be the float valve in the carburetor? or something more sinister? I haven't had
a lot of automotive repair experience but I'm a quick study. Any helpful advice is much
appreciated. Thanks
