vent system. The charcoal canister in­
corporates an integral demand valve
which
regu­

lates
vapors entering the canister as
well
as a
limit
fill
valve
to control air trapping during tank
fill.
The
Fuel
Evaporative Emission Control System
incorporates the following new or modified parts:

E-3.
Canister
The canister used for the vapor control system has
provisions for containing activated charcoal gran­ ules. The material used for the canister body is a

special,
fuel resistant, heat stabilized nylon. At the top of the canister there is the demand valve which
has connections; one vents the vapor to the canister
while the other connection joins the canister to the purge system. These
tubes
enter the canister on

opposite
sides of a baffle which permits uniform
vapor distribution throughout the canister. The
bottom
of the canister is fitted with a filter element
that allows fuel tank venting to atmosphere after vapors are trapped in the activated charcoal.

E-4.
Demand Valve

The
demand valve is integral with the canister. It
is essenitally a combination pressure regulator and

vacuum
relief valve.
This
valve regulates the rate
of vapor
flowing
from the fuel tank into the canister.
The
valve consists of a housing, a spring loaded
diaphragm,
a diaphragm cover, and a vacuum

relief
valve. The operation of the unit is such that
as tank vent pressure increases the diaphragm lifts,
permitting vapor to enter the canister. The pres­
sure
under which this occurs is 4" to 6"
H2O.
This

action regulates the flow of vapors into the canister
under severe soak and operation conditions (temp, changes), but generally prohibits the flow of vapor 111

during
normal temperature vehicle operation, thus
minimizing
driveability problems. An additional
feature of this valve is a built-in vacuum relief

which
allows inward air flow under negative fuel

tank
pressure conditions. The valve housing con­
tains the normal tank vent and purge connections.

E-5.
Fuel Tank

The
fuel tank is external expansion type.
Fuel

tank
venting is accomplished by several vapor
lines which lead to the vapor separator or expan­
sion tank. The vapor lines which lead from the
fuel tank are located at the front and
rear
so that
during
any inclination of the vehicle, at least one
line
will
be open to vent at all times.
E-6.
Vapor Separator
or
Expansion Tank

The
vapor separator is chambered so that the
rear
fuel tank vent lines lead into a separate chamber

with
a fuel shutofl valve.
This
prevents solid fuel
from
flowing from the fuel tank to the vapor can­
ister during uphill operation or parking of the
vehicle. A single vapor vent line leads from the fuel
vapor separator to the vapor collection canister
where fuel vapors are stored until they can be drawn into the
engine
and burned.

The
expansion tank allows expansion of the fuel as

required
during temperature changes and simul­ taneously
becomes
a liquid trap that only allows
vapors to pass.
E-7.
Sealed
Gas Cap

The
sealed gas cap is designed to allow no vapors to
discharge into the atmosphere under normal
operation of the system. If the system
becomes
plugged or a failure of the demand valve occurs 112

'Jeep*
UNIVERSAL
SERIES
SERVICE
MANUAL

E
there is a relief valve that
opens
to reduce high
(dangerous) pressures in the fuel tank. In con­

junction
with the pressure relief valve there is a
vacuum
relief valve to
stop
collapse of the fuel

tank
in case of a plugged system or failure of the demand valve. When replacing the gas cap, the
same type must be used as originally installed.

E-8.
System Inspection Test

The
fuel emission vent system should be checked

carefully
to ensure the absence of any leaks to the
atmosphere of either liquid or vapor which might
affect the accuracy, safety, or performance of the control system.

To
assure that the sealed system has been properly

installed,
the following
test
procedure has been
developed.
Disconnect the vent line from the fuel tank system
to the activated charcoal canister, induce l/i p.s.i.
air
pressure. If this pressure can be maintained for

a
few seconds the vent system is assured to be sealed. DO NOT add air pressure to the canister
because damage can occur to the demand valve if
care
is not taken.

E-9.
Servicing the System

Periodic
Maintenance — Replace carbon canister filter at
12,000
miles
[19,200
km.] or 12 month in­tervals (more
often
for operation in dusty areas).

This
is the only regular maintenance service

required.

CARBURETOR
—
HURRICANE
F4
ENGINE

A
single-barrel manual choke, down-draft carbure­
tor (Fig. E-6) is used on the
Hurricane
F4 engine.
The
carburetor is internally vented by a tube
opening located in the air horn body of the
car­

buretor.
This
opening is connected by a rubber
tube to the air
outlet
horn of the air cleaner thus
allowing only filtered atmospheric pressure air
to enter the float chamber for balance pressure
of the carburetor fuel.

Note:
A carburetor with a specific flow character­

istic
is used for exhaust emission control. The
carburetor
is identified by a number, and the correct

carburetor
must be used, when replacement is
necessary.

Early
production models
CJ-3B,
CJ-5,
CJ-5A,
CJ-6,
and
CJ-6A
have a
Carter
YF-938SD
carbure­
tor superseding the earlier
YF-938SC,
YF-938SA,

or
YF-938S
models.

Note."
Conversion kits for changing earlier models
to SD models are available. See Par E-23. It is recommended that when a carburetor is converted
that a tag be fashioned stamped with the new model number and installed under one of the air

horn
screws.
Look
for such a tag to determine if
the carburetor has previously been converted.

Carburetors
listed above are all in the same YF
series and have only minor differences. Descriptions
and
repair procedures given in the following
para­
graphs apply equally to all
YF-series
carburetors.
YF-series
carburetors employ manual and vacuum
control of the metering rod and accelerator pump.
The
carburetor controls and vaporizes the fuel
through five separate systems: float system, low-
speed system, high-speed system, choke system,

and
accelerating-pump system. A description of the function and operation of each system provides an over all description of the carburetor.

For
identification, the series designation is stamped
on the body under the name
Carter
and the model
designation is stamped on a flange protruding
from
the body.

Note:
When checking for carburetor icing causes,
also check the vacuum-pump-to-manifold vacuum
line connector. 113

Float System

The
float system, Fig. E-7, consists of a float,
float
pin,
air horn gasket and the
needle
and seat assembly. These parts control the fuel level in the

carburetor
bowl, a supply being maintained for all
systems under all operating conditions. To prevent
float
vibration
from affecting the fuel level, the
inlet or float valve is spring loaded. Should the

needle
and seat
become
worn, they must be re­
placed
with a matched set, including the spring,

which
is the only way they are supplied. When
reinstalling
the float, be sure to install the float pin

with
the
stop
shoulder on the side away from the bore of the carburetor.

E-12.
Float Adjustment

Correct
float level setting is required for accurate
metering of fuel in both low- and high-speed jets.

To
set the float, remove and invert the bowl cover. Remove the bowl cover gasket. Allow the weight
of the float to rest on the
needle
and spring. Be

sure
there is no compression of the spring other

than
the weight of the float. Adjust the level by
bending the float arm lip that contacts the
needle
(not the arm) to provide specified clearance be­
tween the float and cover. The specified clearance of the float is
L74\F
[6,74 mm.] on current models
(including
Exhaust
Emission Control) and [7,93 mm.] on early models shown as A in
Fig.

Low-Speed System

Fuel
for idle and early part-throttle operation is
metered through the low-speed system. The low-
speed system is illustrated in Fig.
E-9.
Liquid
fuel enters the idle well through the metering rod jet.

Low-speed
jet measures the amount of fuel for
idle and early part-throttle operation. Air-by-pass,
economizer, and idle air bleed are carefully
cali­

brated
orifices which serve to break up the liquid
fuel
and mix it with air as it
moves
through the passage to the idle port and idle adjustment screw

port.

proportionate to the requirements through the
higher
speed
and power range. The metering rod
is both mechanically and vacuum controlled and is
attached to the metering rod arm assembly.
During
part-throttle operation, vacuum in chamber

pulls
diaphragm down, holding metering arm
assembly against pump lifter
link.
Movement of the metering rod is controlled by the
pump lifter
link
which is attached to the carburetor
throttle shaft. At all
times
vacuum in the chamber
is strong
enough
to overcome the tension of pump

diaphragm
spring. Upper pump spring serves as

a
bumper upon deceleration and as a delayed
action spring upon acceleration. Under any operat­ ing condition, when the pump diaphragm spring
overcomes vacuum in the chamber, the metering

rod
will
move
toward the wide throttle (power) position.

Note:
Nozzle is pressed in and should not be
removed.

E-16.
Metering Rod Adjustment

Check
metering rod adjustment each time the

carburetor
is reassembled. Before adjustment is
made, be sure that the flat of metering rod arm
is parallel to the flat of pump lifter
link
as shown
(Fig.
E-10.).
With
the throttle valve
seated
in
car­

buretor
bore, press down on the upper end of
diaphragm
shaft until the diaphragm
bottoms

in
the vacuum chamber. The metering rod should
now
seat
on casting with the metering rod
arm
flat against the pump lifter
link.
If the meter­
ing rod

be­
fore the metering rod arm makes flat contact with the pump lifter link, make adjustment by bending
the lip on the metering rod arm.

E-17.
Choke System

The
choke system consists of a manually-operated
choke valve, a fast-idle connecting rod, and a fast-
idle arm. The choke valve is offset-spring loaded to prevent over-choking during the starting warm-
up period. When the choke valve is moved to a closed position for starting, the fast idle connector

rod
in Fig. E-ll revolves the fast idle link.
This
action increases the
engine
idle speed to prevent stalling during the warm-up period. A fast-idle
connector rod return spring prevents partial closing
of the choke valve. pump lifter which is connected to the throttle.

This
movement forces fuel from the chamber
above the diaphragm through discharge pump check valve and discharge pump jet.
This
auxiliary discharge of fuel supplies
engine
requirements for

quick
acceleration and heavy loads. When the
throttle is closed, the diaphragm is again pulled
down by high vacuum and another measured
charge of fuel enters the chamber above the
diaphragm
through the intake passage to be
available for the next cycle of operation.

Note:
The pump jet (see insert drawing in Fig.

E-12)
projecting into the air stream is permanently pressed into the carburetor body and should not
be removed. Also, carburetor design makes it im­ possible to adjust the pump stroke.

ing the fast-idle link at
offset
as shown by (No. 2).

E-19.
Accelerating Pump System

The
accelerating pump system shown in Fig. E-12
provides a measured amount of fuel for rapid acceleration and smooth
engine
operation when
the throttle is opened at lower speeds. In operation,
vacuum
is applied to the underside of diaphragm
at all times when the
engine
is running.
Lower

and
more uniform vacuum is provided by vacuum
restriction
and vacuum bleed passage. When the
diaphragm
is in its maximum down position at
low throttle resulting from high vacuum in chamber the chamber above the diaphragm is full of fuel

which
has been admitted through intake passage.
When
the throttle is opened, vacuum drops in the
chamber and the diaphragm is initially forced
upward
by the spring on the diaphragm shaft.
The
upward motion is picked up by accelerator

Accelerating Pump Maintenance

If
engine
acceleration is unsatisfactory, remove the
pump diaphragm and check the diaphragm for wear

or
damage. Then remove the pump check retainer
ring
located directly above the pump check weight

and
pump ball check. Pump ball check must seat

properly
as a leak
will
cause poor acceleration performance. Inspect and replace all worn or
damaged parts.
Clean
and blow out all passages

with
compressed air.
Note
that when testing the pump for discharge volume with the carburetor
off the engine, only half of the maximum pump capacity
will
be discharged. When the
engine
is
operating, vacuum controls the balance of dis­ charge. 116

Inasmuch
as a flat
spot
on acceleration or low speed
stumble can
come
from causes other than
car­

buretor
malfunction, it is recommended that
engine

tuning be thoroughly checked before attempting
any
actual carburetor work. Make sure that
ignition, compression, and timing are correct and
that fuel pump is supplying enough gas. Also, the F-head
engine
employs a water-heated intake

manifold.
Proper vaporization of the fuel depends
on correct intake manifold temperature. Since this
temperature is controlled by the cooling system
thermostat, include an operational check of the
thermostat when diagnosing the stumble. Operating
temperatures consistently below

can cause stumble.

If
the stumble persists, a
YF-938-S,
YF-938-SA,

or
YF-938-SC
carburetor can be converted to a
YF-938-SD
carburetor by installing Special Kit
924161, consisting of a pump discharge check
needle, a metering rod, and a metering rod jet. If this kit is installed, the pump discharge check

needle
replaces the original
ball,
weight, and re­

tainer
and the small wire-type retainer used with
the
ball
check assembly must not be reinstalled.

When
installing the kit, check the size of the pump discharge jet, No. 2, Fig. E-14.
Early
production
YF-938S
and
YF-938SA
carburetors have a .025" [0,635 mm.] jet installed. If the carburetor being
converted has a .025" jet it must be opened up to .031" [0,787 mm.] by running a No. 68
drill
through
the jet as shown in
Fig.
E-14.
The jet must be drilled
as it is a pressed in part and cannot be replaced.
Upon
completing the installation of the conversion

kit,
mark
or tag the carburetor to indicate that it
is a
YF-938SD.

Steep-Grade
Carburetor
Kit

In
the
field
where a vehicle equipped
with
Carter carburetor 938-S is required to
idle
on
steep

slopes,
flooding
of the carburetor sometimes results.

A
steep-grade
carburetor kit is available that
will

allow satisfactory
idle
operation under this condi­

tion.
This kit (Part
No.
#94481,
Carter # 75-960U)
contains a metering rod, a metering rod jet, and a
plug.

To
install
this kit, replace the standard metering

rod
and metering rod jet
with
those
contained in the
kit.
Place the small
brass
plug
in the accelerator
pump
well.
Exert
finger pressure only when in­

stalling
this
plug.
Forcing the
plug
in too far
will
damage
the accelerator
jet.
Make certain the meter­

ing
rod and
float
level
are set to specifications.

When
reworking
the carburetor to include this
steep-grade
kit, check to determine if the seal (Carter #121-172) and retainer (Carter #136-152)
are installed. If
these
parts are not present, they

should
be installed.

ENGINE

A
double-barrel, manual choke, down-draft car­
buretor (Fig. E-15) is used on the Dauntless V-6 engine.
Note: A carburetor
with
a specific
flow
character­

istic
is used for exhaust emission
control.
The
carburetor is
identified
by a number, and the
correct carburetor must be used, when replacement
is
necessary.

The carburetor
fuel
bowl
is located
forward
of
the main bores. The carburetor is compact in design

in
that all of the
fuel
metering is centrally located.
See Fig. E 16.

This
carburetor
uses
a calibrated cluster design

with
main
well
tubes,
idle
tubes, mixture
passages,
air
bleeds and pump jets in one removable as­

sembly.
This cluster assembly can be easily re­

moved
for cleaning and inspection purposes. It is

mounted
on a
flat
portion
of the carburetor
bowl

in
front
of the main
venturi.
The
idle
and main

well
tubes
are precision
pressed
fit in the cluster
body.
They cannot be serviced separately. The

main
nozzles and
idle
tubes
are
suspended
in the
main
wells of the
float
bowl.

The main metering jets are of the
fixed
type. A
system of calibrated air bleeds gives correct
fuel-

air
mixture throughout all operational
ranges.
This
carburetor has a vacuum-operated power sys­

tem
which
supplies extra
fuel
when needed. Power
mixtures
are regulated by drop in engine
manifold
vacuum,
regardless of throttle opening. Thus, addi­

tional
fuel
is supplied for power mixtures accord­

ing
to engine demands.
The accelerator pump plunger has a vapor vent

ball
in its head. This
ball
and its
seat
form
a valve

to
vent any
fuel
vapors
which
form
in the pump

well
to the
fuel
bowl
during hot-engine operation.
This
ensures
that the pump
well
and
passages
will

be primed
with
solid
fuel
at all times and im­ proves accelerator pump action. The carburetor is
internally
vented through a hole

in
the air horn.

FUEL
SYSTEM
There
are six adjustments: curb idle speed, curb
idle mixture, float level, float drop, accelerator pump, and fast idle.
This
carburetor has six basic systems: float, low
speed, main metering, power, accelerator pump

and
choke.

E-26.
Float System

The
float system controls fuel level in the
car­

buretor fuel bowl. It maintains constant fuel level
to assure proper metering through all operating
ranges.

Fuel
enters the carburetor through the inlet screen
and
inlet valve. It flows past the valve
needle
and into the fuel bowl.
Fuel
continues to flow until

increasing
fuel level raises the float to a position
in
which it forces the inlet valve
needle
into its seat.
This
closes
the inlet valve. As fuel is used

from
the bowl, the float
moves
downward slightly.
This
allows the valve
needle
to
move
away from its
seat.
This
again allows fuel to enter the fuel bowl
to maintain fuel level. In this manner, float level maintains fuel level constant. See Fig. E-17. 12838

A
float prong, at the
rear
of the float arm
between

the float hangers, prevents the float from moving too far downward, yet allows it to
move
downward

far
enough to allow maximum fuel flow into the
bowl. A
pull
clip connects the float arm to the valve needle.
This
keeps the
needle
from sticking in the seat because of
dirt
or gum formation.

E-27.
Idle System

During
engine
idle operation, air flow through the

carburetor
venturi is very low. It is insufficient to
cause fuel to flow from the main discharge nozzles.
Therefore,
the idle system supplies fuel-air mixture

during
idle and low-speed operation.

The
idle system consists of the idle tubes, idle pas­

sages,
idle air bleeds, idle mixture adjustment
needles, off-idle discharge
slots
and idle discharge ports. See Fig. E-18.

Valve
in Off
Idle
Position
In
idle speed position, each throttle valve is slightly
open.
This
allows a small amount of air to pass

between
the carburetor bore
wall
and the throttle valve. Since there is not enough air flow for ven­

turi
action, manifold vacuum draws fuel directly

from
the fuel bowl through the idle system.

Fuel
from the float bowl passes through each main metering jet into the main well. A metered amount
of fuel flows through the idle tube restriction. It
then passes up the idle tube to a passage where

it
is mixed with air drawn through two calibrated
idle air bleeds.
Fuel-air
mixture then flows through

a
calibrated restriction into a vertical passage. It passes through another calibrated restriction to the off-idle discharge slot just above each throttle
valve.
This
injects additional air. It then flows
through the idle discharge port. The idle mixture
needle
controls the amount of fuel-air mixture

which
enters the carburetor bore at curb-idle posi­ tion of the throttle valve.

As
the throttle valve
opens
farther, more and more of the off-idle discharge slot is
exposed
to manifold
vacuum.
This
slot supplies additional fuel-air mix­
ture to
meet
off-idle
engine
requirements.

E-28.
Main
Metering System

As
the throttle valve continues to open, its
edge
moves
away from the carburetor bore
wall.
This
reduces vacuum applied to the idle discharge port
and
off-idle discharge slot, so that the idle system

ceases
to supply fuel-air mixture.

With
increased throttle opening, air velocity through the venturi increases.
This
causes a de­
crease of pressure in the carburetor bore, which is multiplied in the venturi. See Fig. E-19.
Since
the low air pressure (vacuum) is in the
venturi
at this time, fuel flows as follows:

Fuel
from the float bowl passes through the main metering jets into the main well and rises into the main well tubes. Air enters the main well through the main well air
bleeds
and mixes with 120
