1968 Cj5 225 Intermittent Flooding Tap And Clears

I have a 1968 CJ5 with a Rochester carburetor that loads up and floods intermittently. If I tap the side of the Carburetor, it clears up. I was wondering whether it's the power value or float sticking or needle and seat. I have O-haul a lot or Rochester and Quadrajets. I am going to pull it apart without a kit if I don't tear the gaskets. And clean it out. I was just wondering what you guys find?

 

Has to be a problem with the needle & seat or the float. Pull it apart & check everything closely. Remove the inlet fitting & blast everything out with carb cleaner.

 

I appreciate this walk-through video. Easy, while sitting in the arm chair, way to be reminded of the inner works of the 2G Rochester carb.

 

You guys are right on track. I have two cans of carb cleaner and watched the video to refresh my memory. I getting ready go through it today. I will let you what find if anything. Thanks for the info.

 

If you are have a Q jet lying around and can score an old spreadbore Offy 360 for your rig, the Q jet is 'da bomb on the 225.

 

X2! Small Q-jets run really well with the right manifold.

I like Quadrajet carburetors for me they have good performance and driveability. But I think the Old Rochester is going to be good enough. I can't believe what a difference in starting changing to HEI made. This thing has no move since I started restoring it I started with the front bumper and making my way back every time I look at the engine compartment it make me smile. I replace the steering wheel and installed an AutometerTach and drill and install a voltmeter and pressure gauges and cleaning painting everything. Lot to This will be my last restore job and wiring is my specialty.
