Hail Comrades!
I have a 90' YJ Wrangler,
All pretty much stock....for now.
This is my 20th year in the Army (1st Sgt.) I have absolutely no knowledge of building up a good 4x rig, so any advice is always appreciated.
Like, how on earth do I tune up my 2bbl Weber on my 6 cyl.?

I am embarrassed that no one has responded to your post. I don't know **** about 2bbl Webers beyond the fact that I think that is a carburetor. On the other hand, we all, even though unexpressed, cherish and appreciate your service. Welcome to the group. I am located, for now, in Wisconsin, but will be back in early November. I hope to see you on the trail this winter. I am not dreadfully aggressive on the trail, but would welcome your company on a trip. There are people on the board who will know about the weber, for sure. Post up guys. :)

Almost threw out a knee-jerk response re. your carb (ie. how to tune it? take it off and throw it away!), but then re-read and saw the key word: WEBER.

If it's really a Weber replacement of the P.O.S. Carter that came stock, then I'd say it's worth investing a bit into, as they're supposed to be a pretty decent performing carb. Are you local now? If so, try Hopper's Automotive in Tempe. Jim knows his stuff, and has forgotten more than I'll ever know about Jeeps.

If you do still have the true stock Carter carb, then Hopper's is still a fine choice. Another place I went years ago was Shuman's (also in tempe), but they really don't want to touch much that isn't stock.

I don't know recommendations for other parts of the valley.

For what it's worth, I ran that stock Carter on my 87YJ for a few years. Shuman's tuned it up and ran OK. Did NOT like steep climbs, but if your wheeling is mild, it'll get you by. The mild AZ weather makes some of the cold issues with that carb non-existant. From the Carter, I went to a modified Holley 4bbl...kinda a home version of what's now their Truck Avenger line. It worked really good, but was a bear to get through emissions. So after several years running that 4bbl, it's now in a box in my garage, replaced by Howell FI. Totally different world of performance!!!!

Good luck!
Tom

I don'y know anything about Weber carbs but it is just a carb. I would need to see it feel it smell it before I could do anything with it. Our new friend is in Eugene OR so I am unable to help. Not something I know enough about to do over the forum posts.

HMMMMM Road trip ? :) Eugene is a pretty cool place if you can get past the rain and clouds.

Top,

Sorry that I cannot be helpful to you. Thanks for putting 100 years (in NCO years) into the Army....I'm going on 20 years (in NCO years) which is closer to 7 :D

WOW!
This comradery is awesome! Your all like a brotherhood in a specialized unit!
Well, thanks for your response, I've got some money tucked away and although I don't want to pass any of my Jeep on to someone else to repair and rob myself of the education, I will have to try to find someone who will walk through it with me or a doggone good FM or TM....or whatever the civilian term is.
Wow guys, your enthusiasm, drive and attitude towards fellow Jeepers is invigorating. A group like you would be a formidable opponent on any field.

Load up all your junk and move to AZ and I'm sure someone would be happy to come over and drink your beer. Oh and help you learn the ins and outs of working on your rig :D

Problem is once you get a taste of the rocks, you'll never go back to slop (mud) again :)
