Re: need help with 84 b2 carb

I just responded on the member rides section. One thing I did was look in the phonebook and started calling places. I went with a place called automotive rebuilders: rebuilders of all sorts of parts.

Re: 84 B2 She is new to me

She runs really good except I put in some ethanol fuel to help with the emissions test and now she doesn't like to idle. I need to add more fu...

Re: Hows this deal on a BII?

The guy wanted $1,100, about 142K miles I got him to take $800.00. I need to align the front end, I just put on a rebuilt carb, I need to put tires on and title a...

Re: Which is better a rebuilt or remanufactured carb?

Vabronconut thanks for the reply,

I am still going to leave the fuel line insulated as she runs better, hopefully with a good functioning carb she will run awesome. :D

Which is better a rebuilt or remanufactured carb?

Well she failed the emissions test today. My 84 BII failed on the idle & high speed Hydrocarbons and the Idle & High speed Carbon Monoxide. the tech thought because too much fuel is dumping in the system. I am still having my flooding problem when it gets warm so I thought time to replace th...

Well I wanted to find something I could haul my pedal bike with to the dirt trails and go on back road excursions here in hot Las Vegas, Nevada. I also wanted to keep the miles lower on my mini cooper. I started looking at Samurais, then I decided to look at Bronco II. :eek: Well I left the house on...

84 BII rear hatch handle?

Does anyone know if the later model rear exterior hatch (liftgate) handle fits the 84 hatch.

The Hatch handle on mine is starting to spin around and around.

Thanks-Kelly
