Questions: I have a 1946 Willys cj2a. 134 F head engine....wll this work for my jeep?
Question By: Angelo Bazzi on Jul 6 2017 10:57 PM
If you have the F head its unoriginal and would want the 923808 - the CJ2A used the L head originally and the 923806 would be the one for you.

Questions: i purchased the solex carb for my 1946 willys cj2a. i installed it and it ran fine everything worked as it should. After 12 hours there is no fuel left in the carb. i cannot figure out what the problem is. I have taken it to four professional mechanics and a local who worked on these while in the military and all of which say it has been hooked up correctly. So i had kaiser willys send me a replacement thinking it was a faulty carb but after installing the second one I am now facing the same problem. I cannot figure out what the problem is. I have put a new fuel pump in and i am getting plenty of pressure from it.

Questions: I have a CJ-3A that is backfiring and dying. If I keep the engine revved it stays running but you can feel the occasional bump of an almost-backfire. Distributor was replaced by a mechanic about 3 yrs ago, replaced the spark plugs yesterday. Tried adjusting the carb and while it helped the roughness of the revved engine, as soon as you let off the gas it backfires and dies. Was running fine until about a month ago. I am no mechanic, learning all this as I go. Suggestions?
Question By: Anonymous on Jun 11 2014 12:00 AM
I could be a fuel delivery problem. You may want to check your float. I would also try advancing the timing to see if that does the trick as well.

Questions: Hello, I have been looking for a replacement carburetor for a 4-134 in a 53 cj3b which has a 57 under carrage. I have a clearance problem, The carb which was on it was a holly and it drowned the engine, I have 6.5 between the manifold and the hood. I tryed the other Solex and it was too tall, The holly with the air horn is 6.25 tall, does the riser come off this Solex carb? Would it work?
Question By: Randy on Feb 27 2014 12:00 AM
The 923808 should be the right carb for your 4-134 F head engine.

Questions: I am using a electric fuel pump. What is the recommended pump pressure to use with these kind of carbs?
Question By: lucas on Nov 5 2013 12:00 AM

Answer By: Willys Tech on Nov 5 2013 12:00 AM
Questions: Mike, both the linked docs here and various boards recommend installation of an inline fuel pressure regulator, delivering between 1-3/4 and 2 pounds of fuel pressure. On installation of the Solex on my L134, the mixture doesn't seem to be able to be leaned properly - it always runs too rich.

Question By: keith on Feb 17 2013 12:00 AM
