first thing I'd do is cover up about 3/4 of the plastic air intake about 75% with scotch packing (or other) tape, if that cures your problem, it's probably the 50 cent plastic restricter that's fell out or not there for whatever reason. I spent about 300 dollars on parts i didn't need because of that silly thing. I've got a new carb i'll sell somebody cheap if they need it, or even THINK they need it :)

I was too determined to fix it to slowdown and actually analyze (accurately) what was happening. The carb did need cleaning though.

My travails are in the thread started by mrmopar

been there, done that, spent a bunch of $ when I didn't need to. rules are no html posting but if you'll go to the search box, while you're in this forum, and search on my username you'll find what my deal was (mr. mopar started the thread). I did clean the carb, which needed it, but the root cause having to run with the choke was the cheap little plastic restrictor had fallen out of the air intake tube.

I put the bigger jet in but didn't really need it. good luck.

I want to give mrmopar a hug!!! I've fought this stupid thing for 2 weeks now and have thrown parts at it like i worked at a dealership: new carb (thanks for nothing JD Dealership mech), new fuel pump, new coil assy, new plug, new fuel filter, and the only problem was the restrictor being absent. inherited from my deceased dad-in-law, sure he knew what the problem was, but...

I've ordered the 92 replacement jet and will install soon but for now it's running with just a strip of packing tape covering 80% of the intake hole. now i've got a spare carb and coil:-(

thank you again mopar for taking the time to write the crap up for the benefit of folks you'll probably never meet.
