I am hesitant to say this but is it possible the mixture screws are leaned out to the point that it needs choke to run?? I'm looking for other opinions on this.

On a bbd the metering screws should be between 1.5 to 2 turns out. Their is a possibility that the metering rod well is stopped up and choking it is forcing engine vacuum to pull the fuel past the rods to the main jets. Kind of like a stopped up pilot jet. Its tough to speculate.

Should I screw the mix screw in all the way, and back it out two full turns? At this point, I am willing to try anything. Taking the jeep to a mechanic is my last option, because I am trying to keep a tight monthly budget. I will do it if I can't come up with anything else.

Go ahead and remove them and spray some carb cleaner in the ports, then reinstall them. Screw themin untill they stop, do not force them in or you will bend the tips. Then back them out 2 turns. At least you will know that setting is correct.

When you refer to "them". I want to make sure you are talking about the air/fuel mix screw and the ide screw, correct? Want to make sure we are on the same page.

You have a YF. Unplug the line next to the fuel line. that is a bowl vent and needs to be open to atmosphere.
