it's good to see Cassie back in the shop

[@davidsommerfeld2955]

I’ve got a 76 CJ 5 stored in my barn waiting for some attention, it’s got carburetor and ignition issues and I bought something newer and better and it got parked. It hasn’t been on the road in 25 or more years and I just found your CJ 7 videos, they are giving me motivation to get the old girl running again.

[@B5Daytona]

Just found your channel. My wife actually watched the first two episodes on the CJ with me!!! Hoping for more content! Gonna finish all the CJ videos now!!!

[@Jomespt]

Just a suggestion, with all the solvents you are spaying I would put safety glasses into you budget and ware them🎉

[@MrJoecango]

Love those old carb motors, they're fun to play with. Great job getting it running. Keep jeeping classy Cassie!

[@rattlesadventures6125]

I used a 5 gallon gas can and a fuel line running into it on my CJ5 to get it running enough to see what all it needed. Turns out it needed a fuel tank because mine was all full of water and mud from the previous owner. Can’t wait to see where this build goes. Nice work so far keep it up.

[@adamgrant917]

My wife was on the couch on her phone while I was watching the video. She looks up and shouts. She’s got on my shoes. It scared me to death. She just bought shoes like yours this past week. lol.

[@JeepGearGadgets]

Tooo funny! Brooks Adrenaline shoes are my favorite🤣 next to crocs of course

[@mattbarrett41]

Drain and clean the tank. Replace the fuel lines and filter. Always the first step

[@seansullivan3795]

I'm not Mr. Safety but man I'd wear some safety glasses spraying carb cleaner. I've gotten that stuff in my eyeballs and it tends to melt my contacts. Good to see you guys back online. SEMPER PARATUS!

[@JeepGearGadgets]

I’ll wear glasses next time. This would be my luck 🤣🤣

[@donashcraft8617]

I love that you’re doing a CJ!!! I know that first drive had to feel great. Check the fuel cap and fill hose for a bad seal maybe

[@scottfritz6645]

Glad I found your page! Jeep fam in KS, 3 cj7s and a Tj, love the content!

[@bradtaylor1217]

The reason you got water was probably from todays gasoline blend of 10% ethanol. Ethanol is an alcohol, which absorbs moisture when it sits for a few months and eventually separates into 2, as you noticed. Ethanol free gas, typically 90octane is best to use for carbureted engines and small equipment.

[@Tommy-my1jw]

You beat me to it. You absolutely cannot let ethanol fuel sit for any length of time.

[@rightwingmanscott]

The best older platform is the TJ but still cool seeing the old CJ's got some life in them.

[@Satchmojones]

Wrong.

[@truck93]

I have a 77 CJ7 that I daily drive. It was a barn find, I slowly restored every system and upgraded evertying I could to make a fun family criuser. I love this Jeep. Keep up the good work on your CJ7, I can't wait to see it back on the road.

[@sandsstinnett7739]

So glad Cassie’s got new projects! Keep Jeeping Classy! Love you guys! We’re around Little Rock!

[@dinovelvet8933]

Look into HEI ignition and Ford Distributor cap conversion. Does wonders waking up the motor and reliability. Costs less than buying an after market HEI system and is just as good. Clean the tank with hydrochloric acid.

[@joshuapoche5137]

I did this in my 67 bug. After the debris and stuff settled, i did use the top fuel in my lawn mower and it ran no issues.

[@atomneely]

Glad you're making videos again, not sure when i'll be able to get a little project vehicle like this so its always fun to live vicariously.

[@xTinBenderX]

So awesome to see you guys get it running! I feel your pain having a fault fuel tank. Had the tank in my CJ lined with Red Kote when it was new and it began to delaminate and peel. Then the tank got rusty. I've been looking for a fix for it for years as it's a custom tank made by Trailquest for a CJ frame to a YJ body. They had to stop producing them so ordering a replacement isn't an option.

[@Dickson27]

Same problem happened to my Cj, except the excessive amount of water, 😄 you need to check the fuel sample after a while, the filter and carb can be dirty again and car wont keep idle. my tank is rusting so bad because the Cj was sitting to long and the tank had to be cleaned up or changed, mine was cleaned.. but hopefully your tank is not rusting as bad as mine was

[@TheForthElement]

good to see your channel back up and running .. would be great to see some action back on the trails soon :)

[@kerryclark1926]

Why wouldn't droping the tank and cleaning it be one of the first things that you did if it sat two years?

[@garyjohnson6156]

Looks like the pilot bearing has seized up a bit. That’s why the clutch isn’t disengaging fully. Also, with the choke closed it should idle between 110 and 1500 I believe. Then once off the step it should idle down to 650 or so. Check to make sure the choke linkage is working correctly. I would also flush the brake fluid by bleeding the brakes.

[@Smoke-LXXV]

Reminds me of my first 82 CJ7. This brings back so many memories working on my shit box!

[@michaelgreen4838]

Like the western bullets!

[@johnlow5489]

If you aren’t going to drop the tank, you could install a marine filter setup that separates water. Raycor is a brand. They make diesel water separators also.

[@dream_living96]

CJ is awesome!! Keep the content coming. Love seeing it.

[@jeremybeaulieu3702]

First comment ever on a KZbin video! Please please get that battery far away from those fumes next time! Love the vids btw

[@johnmcwade222]

Keep those original rims, hard to find. They look perfect on that Jeep.

[@richardpedersen9189]

Love seeing Cassie!!! Keep going, Lady 👍

[@jk_wrangler13]

Some of them old old jeeps like that you have to get the RPM's up to change them into gear. Even going into reverse. But it sounds good for an old jeep. I love them old jeeps

[@basshunter428]

The first thing I did when I bought my 98 TJ was replace ALL the hoses and clean all ground points.

[@toddhoffmaster6057]

Check for a faulty gas cap. If it has been sitting for a year, the rain has probably found it's way into the tank from the fuel inlet/gas vapor are of the cap.

[@benmiller5015]

Look for a vacuum leak with that high idle. Also id recommend hitting up Walmart n grabbing a couple of those ketchup bottles like restaurants use n put gas in em to squirt gas in carbs n they work good for filling the float bowl cuz they fit right in the vent tube. Definitely get away from the starting fluid unless its a last resort. But overall not too bad. N nobody ever learned anything by not trying so keep doing you n learning through experience

[@MrWricks01]

Makes me miss my 81 CJ7.

[@mikerichardson6252]

Great video, when Ben says let take a sample it reminded me of the Moonshiner’s show LOL.

[@birdmandavej]

My guess about the water is that it’s rain water that got in maybe through the fuel cap potentially?

[@lingerseason]

[@timholloway8821]

100%

[@fishaman7834]

I’m having the same problem with my 91 yj and was about to drop the tank to drain the old fuel and just seen how y’all pumped it out instead so that’s what I’m gonna try doing this week..

[@JeepGearGadgets]

Worth a shot! Let me know how it goes!

[@kevinbarrett9615]

I kinda laughed when you talked about budgeting, you know what Jeep stands for don’t you ? Just Empty Every Pocket! I should know , I’ve owned 4 CJ 7’s.

[@cjleon1104]

Get it girl! DIY that shit... excellent video

[@stroke0187]

Should've used an auxiliary fuel supply to the carb and let the mechanical pump pump it all out while the engine was running

[@JeepGearGadgets]

That’s a good idea! Would have made things easy for sure.

[@eminart]

I thought that was my old CJ at first. Wish I'd kept it. I'm on my 3rd now.

[@VARUNCOUTINHO]

12:15 good!

[@OnTheSideOff-Road]

I’ve got to ask. Given the vehicle had been sitting with unknown fuel for an extended amount of time why wouldn’t you check the fuel in the tank 1st and then move forward in the fuel system?

[@calimilk1113]

Awesome!!!!

[@lawrencefranck9417]

Better put a filter ahead of the pump. Crude in the tank will kill the pump.

[@calmsea1604]

I like the comment, “We might have to drop the tank” 😂

[@cjg1482]

I would assume that rain seeped into the tank. Was the gas cap NOT on while being stored? A big hole in the filler hose? A big hole in the top of the gas tank?

[@bruceklassen8261]

Great video

[@jeepdoctv]

Heck yeah!!

[@marloncausey392]

Glad to see Cassie back I was afraid something had happened. Why didn’t you go with a sniper kit or a Weber?

[@JeepGearGadgets]

Thanks! Work got crazy and just didnt have time for videos for a while. We will probably swap over to a sniper at some point, first i just want to make sure we can get this running and driving to see what all it needs!

[@MrSrtman18]

Safety glasses when spraying stuff that close to your face. I know id already have carb cleaner in my eyes. Lol condensation some how?

[@prestigepressurewashing]

love the videos!

[@JeepGearGadgets]

Thank you!

[@blastworksllc]

Love yall videos! But please stop using so much starting fluid. It washes down the rings. A little to start is ok but not to keep using like that.

[@Tommy-my1jw]

Your source of water is probably the ethanol in the fuel. Ethanol pulls moisture out of the air.

[@pedrogonzales4669]

The jeep is alright, but what was that next to it?

[@almonjacob3496]

condensation will give you water in a metal tank

always drop the tank or just use a small gas can as your supply.

[@johnmurray1944]

Why haven’t you two drained the gas tank?

[@silverthirty5262]

It’s hard to get into reverse because the idle is so high

[@jonsanchez55]

Guys, you have to put it into 1st or 3rd before you put it into reverse!!!

[@bdd1469]

Todays fuel has ethonal in it. Ethanol attracts water. Thats why they invented " recreational fuel " which is just the same ethonal free fuel they have sold in marinas for years. There is nothing wrong with your Jeep, you just need to put " rec fuel " in it if you are going to let it sit. The same goes for anything else that runs on gasoline.

[@chiplacey256]

Condensation will fill a near empty tank with water.

[@barryfrederick3305]

Drop the Fuel tank , there is water inside the tank. clean all the crap from the inside and add some fresh gasoline and see what happens

[@JeepGearGadgets]

Most likely will throw a new tank in it soon!

[@Vik_ter]

idk, i would just drop the tank and purge the system while your at it.

[@oscarpena374]

Those older carbs were notorious for not running right, a weber would work much better. Just saying

[@JeepGearGadgets]

Looking at changing it out sometime soon, I think a Holley Sniper would be a good reliable upgrade.

[@trinityparore4721]

looks like the vehicle has been drowned, I'd pull the head to make sure theirs no mud on top of the pistons, and check the intakes and exhausts on the head, or you'll wear your cylinder bores and rings and perhaps your valve guides and seats, or you could just pull the intake and, or the exhaust manifolds to check for mud

[@e46mblue]

You should still removed the fuel tank and clean it or you will have periodic acceleration and idol problems because the garbage left in the tank will get sucked up in your carb and clog your jets. Ask me how I know???

[@patrickgray4444]

It's the dum-dum show! Though you'd all wold know more than this. Hey, anyone that's pulled an old vehicle out of the weeds for rebuilding, knows that the fuel system begins with the fuel tank, then the lines, fuel bowl and pump etc. Drop the fuel tank, throw in a length of chain, seal it up (after removing the sending unit) throw a gallon of kerosene in and "shake dat thang" . Eastwood makes a nice fuel tank sealer kit that will seal up pinholes from rust.

[@JeepGearGadgets]

Thanks for this explanation. Obviously the source is the fuel tank, I don’t have the most knowledge or experience, but rarely do I see or hear people who pick up old vehicles immediately drop the fuel tank for a vehicle that was running fine a year ago.
