I just bought a 1980 CJ7 304 V8 that is starting to stall on me at times when I don't have the gas pedal pressed. It seems to start up again with little trouble. It idles just above 10k ( i think this is normal) and I'm not sure if this is a fuel pump problem or a carb problem. Would a good dose of carb cleaner help?

well im having sorta the same problem with mine right now. But mine stalls with the peddle pressed and when i turn it back on i look at the exhaust and it appears that the carb is extremely loaded, so i knew it was a spark problem. On your case, it sounds like it is probably a fuel supply problem. Spray some carb cleaner in it, maybe replace the fuel filter, then the fuel pump. Oh, and about the idle, im hopeing you ment 1000 rpm and not 10,000 rpm. Good luck
Peace

Im good at being a Lil8itch, so im sticking to it!
