Anyone Running One Of These?

If so, do you like it and how does it perform?

 

Nope. I run a Weber. Tuneable. More performance. More modern design

 

Holley Sniper is the latest technology for your Willys!!

 

That’s what I’d do. Hellll yeah!

 

So I guess that's a NO?
If I wanted to go injected, I would've asked about that...
Personally I wouldn't waste the $$ to inject an f-head.

 

Yes ,Sid.......Get the Weber like Funk says.......His runs well with it.

 

The Webers are nice, but too pricey for me, and the original carburetors work just fine.

I suppose that is a knock off of a Carter YF.

I bought a NOS Carter YF from Dan Sharon (CMV Jeeps). Since it was old I refreshed it with a new kit and after adjustments it functions flawlessly.

He still has a few of these listed on his Ebay store.

Never used one, however, I'm always a bit skeptical about "foreign" carbs. In a perfect universe, I would stick to US or European made carb and rebuild it.
That being said, there are a couple of solid one barrel carbs out there (or, at least, used to be) that had promise.
Solex used to be a popular swap.
I'm a huge fan of the Rochester series carbs and the Monojet might be a good choice, as the Autolite 1100 that came on the Ford 176-200 sixes.
Of course you would have to find one, then adapt it over.

 

I don't remember where I got the kit, may have been from CMV, QTM, or may have been from "Scout Pilot".

I don't run ethanol in my Jeeps, but I paid the extra cost for a kit that uses modern material that will stand up to it for the accelerator pump diaphragm in case non-alcohol gasoline becomes scarce. Don't buy a cheap kit they are made overseas and who knows what materials are used.

I had to fiddle with the metering rod adjustment a few times to get mine right, but once I got it right it has been perfect. Put a good filter ahead of the carburetor....

 

Fifty year old rubber, or whatever it is, is always suspect in my book. It was worth $60 to get a throttle body that isn't worn out. The one I got came sealed in old plastic. It was clean and shiny.

 

My 2 cents: I agree with you that if you want to keep the Jeep original -- and not go with fuel injection -- then go with the YF. That being said, if you have a useable core, send it to Scoutpilot (https://oldjeepcarbs.com/) and you'll have a perfect running carburetor.

 

I no longer have the original carb.
Currently has a Solex on it, and is not all that cold weather friendly.

 

I'll add another 2 cents to this thread: Post a WTB add in the classifieds on this site for a useable core; or find one on Facebook Marketplace; or try eBay (https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fr...at=0&LH_TitleDesc=0&_odkw=carter+yf&_osacat=0). IMO, the Solex carb is junk. I've read many horror stories concerning them and few happy endings. You also might try reaching out to Scoutpilot directly and see if he has a useable core that he could rebuild for you. I do not trust other vendors' rebuilt carburetors. But I will defer to Glenn and others with more experience.

 

Carter YFs were used on a lot of vehicles other than Jeeps, so plenty of them out there, but most non-Jeep applications were for larger engines, usually six cylinders, so might need to change the main jet for it to work well on a F134, maybe not.

 

Pre-1987 F-Series Pickups with the 300-6 are good sources for them, and they're not exactly rare
