Had not thought about flooding as a possibility. I don't think its that because I was able to prime start it and that would only make a flooded...
Oh, one more thing. I found a fuel pump without the glass bowl but it was listed as for a 1959 Jeep Pickup with the 134. I'd like to try one...
I'm convinced (now) its not vapor lock. In addition to the fact it only does it on steep bumpy roads, the last time it stalled I checked and the...
This has been such a long process I didn't include every detail in my original post. It is probably not an electrical issue as I installed a brand...
I've been having a fuel issue with my 59 CJ5. The vehicle has a rebuilt 134 engine. I have had this issue for at least 3 years. I've had it this...
I have a 59 CJ5 with the 134 engine. It has a standard 12 volt electrical system. I went to NAPA for a new coil and their book shows a 6 volt...
I'm looking to replace the PO installed copper tubing fuel lines on my '59 with steel lines. Some of you previously sent me pictures on how the...
While not the same engine, I had my 134 rebuilt last summer. I got quotes that ranged from $1100 to $2500. This was for a full rebuild, I drop off...
Tomcam was exactly right. When the wheel is turned all the way to the left the pitman arm swings up enough to hit the lower oil line. I had...
Last summer I had the 134 rebuilt in my 59 CJ5. I worked most of the bugs out (not just with the engine, the Jeep had been sitting for 10 + years)...
I recently had the 134 rebuilt in my 59 CJ5. There were two oil lines connected to the block near the rear of the engine on the driver's side. The...
Does anyone have a photo of how the fuel line is suppose to be routed from the pump up to the carb on a 59 CJ5? Also, what type of material is...
I need to quit working on it. The more I do, the more needs to be done. I have been chasing a fuel gauge problem for a month now. Last night I...
My 59 CJ5 came with a switch someone installed that allowed the Jeep lights to work when being towed. I've never really been able to make it work...
As suggested, I did a search and there is some very good information in this forum on the subject. One of the best linked to an article on the CJ5...
Here's how I keep the tranny together when seperating it from the TC. I take the top cover off the trannny and fish a piece of bailing wire under...
The system is 12 volts. There is an unused lug on the back of the fuel guage. Wonder if that is for 6 volt systems? (I tried it, the gauge didn't...
Yep, if was hanging free, you'd think it would show empty but it doesn't. I did check the resistance of the sending unit. As I recall, it was...
I have been trying to figure out what's wrong with the fuel gauge on my 59 CJ5. It typically reads 1/2 full when its empty, and pegs the needle...
I spent the better part of the weekend replacing the seal on the rear differential of my 59 CJ5. There has to be an easier way. I thought I'd...
