Re: [Amc-list] BBD Saga

Been there, done that.  I know about the Rambler mentality because I am
seriously afflicted with it but it is time to stop buying rebuilds and
get a NEW carb.  Turner 4WD has new carters at

/BBD4.2S/NEW+BBD+REPLACEMENT+CARB+2+BBL+1978-86+CJ%2C+1981-91+SJ%2C+NON+S
TEPPER+MOTOR.html  For $260 it sure fixed a host of issues on my Eagle.
