Jeep in Mud....

Just a little

Duster is road legal, but not road ready. Needs tuned better and I don't think it is shifting right.
Bogs down at about 25mph

it's a step in the right direction - now you can get 'er out on the road and experiment -test & tune!!!

Is the kick-down linkage adjusted properly?

[MOPARMITCH]

Yep, much easier with the tractor, honestly that's the first I've not been able to rock it out in this jeep. Probably gone thru that exact spot 500 times kind of surprised to get stuck there

I am guessing not. Don't know how ....yet

 

[ScampMike]

that left side is a big ol' hole - lucky to have a good to go recovery vehicle

Time for lockers!

Yeah, you found just the right soft spot and sunk too far to get it out without mudder tires.

how are the curb idle and timing?

OK, have some lockers!

looks like the muck up here in the corn fields closer to the Connecticut river...

I did set both. Pretty sure I messed with idle since. Will need to recheck all that.

How old is the fuel? Don't waste time trying to adjust a carb with old stale fuel.

 

[ScampMike]

there are so many little things that can trip you up... bad ground, 1 bad plug or wire, bad fuel, choke not set right, bad/clogged fuel filter....

Not to mention the condition of the plugs if it's just been sitting a long time.

They look reconditioned to me.

Should be fine ,. Kept it low and used stabil since I changed the tank a couple years ago. Most of what's in there now is not more than a few months old. Certainly very burnable. I figured I would be retuning through the first couple tanks anyway.

any other issues? ..dim lights? ..squealing belts?

No, I really think this is more trans than engine. I need to get it out again and really see what its doing. Didn't want to go far with it today and too much traffic on my road this afternoon to be f'n around with it.
