- '78 cj5 258 straight 6, 3 speed manual, hei distributor, motorcraft 2100 carb with electric choke.
I have '78 CJ5 that I've only had for two months. I'm slowly learning the ins and outs. Jeep is mostly stock. 258 engine. I believe the carb is new but I'm not sure of what type. It's always started right up, but now sometimes it's having problems. I'll have to push gas pedal all the way down and let the engine turn over until it starts. When it does start, black smoke comes out. The black smoke only comes out right after starting. Any ideas? Thanks
