Need to know what you think. I last ran the jeep about 2-3 weeks ago with filthy fuel in the old fuel tank and since then have changed out that tank for a clean one. When it ran before it was slightly rich but no missing or really rich smell. I ran it today with new fuel and the new tank and it started really well and was on choke then when I let the choke off and it was warm it still ran rough missing and sputtering. I checked the plugs and the first was fuel soaked so not sparking the next black with soot, so too rich.

Any thoughts on why it ran well...better with the crappy fuel and dirty tank and now it is not?

I was thinking that it may have been set to run rich as the feul was old and probably the pick up was slightly clogged with rust?

Any ideas on where to get a decent price on spark plugs for this as well?

I will try to regap the worn plugs to see if this helps first.
Fuel mixture adjust is on Pas. side of carb correct?
No manual yet so working blind here but getting there.

Thanks for any suggestions and Info!

So close yet so far...
