Hi, I have a 1994 jeep grand cherokee laredo, and the carburator is dumping gas into the crank case. i was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on what this could be.
Thanks

the float level or there could be debris in the needle valve holding it open.
But... Doesn't that have throttle body injection?
the older rigs with mechanical fuel pumps had a tendency to get fuel in the crankcase due to bad diaphragms.

Yea, 94 should be injected... they did away with carbs around 88 I thought...
If there is gas in your oil (crank case) you could be looking at a case of bad rings. If the rings are no longer sealing well against the cylinder walls they could be allowing blow by, or gas to seep down into the crankcase. Have you checked your compression lately?
So it's not a Jeep... sue me... it's still faster!

could also just be way past due for an oil change, when they get done at 2500 miles even with bad rings the oil wont be in to bad of shape, if it is there definitely is a problem.

I missed the part about the holley, wonder why someone did that? Do check the float level, they will dump it in.
