I put this carb. on my '74 AMC 304, bored .30 over ~4 years ago. The engine was completely rebuilt at the time of the install it's from an AMC AMX, (larger cylinder heads). It was then swapped into an '86 Jeep CJ-7. It has been parked for the last 2 years. I'm ready to get this Jeep back on the road, so I've been fixing it over the last several months. I have been starting it and running it up to temperature every couple of weeks with no problems... until yesterday.

The throttle linkage is on the drivers side, the choke linkage (manual choke) is on the passenger side. The fuelline enters from the front passeneger side (lower left in picture). Fuel was pouring from another linkage in front of the throttle linkage (accelerator pump?... lower right in picture). It filled every basin on the stock intake manifold in a matter of 3 mintues was pouring down the back of the engine igniting on the header pipe. Wasn't planning on setting the Jeep on fire just yet...

This carb has never leaked anything before and is now suddenly POURING fuel everywhere!!! If anyone has a schematic of this carb, or knows where to get one, please le me know at jeepinebay@yahoo.com

Thanks in advance for your advice and "quick fix" ideas.
