This carburetor is listed to fit Jeep CJ3B (1953–1968), Jeep CJ5 (1955–1975), Jeep CJ6 (1955–1975) and applications calling for the F134 (F-head) style carburetor, including M38A1 models. Always verify fitment against your engine/manifold before purchase.
The product lists part numbers 923808 and 17701.02. Use these numbers to cross-check with your OEM part number or seller to confirm compatibility.
The package includes 1 carburetor as shown in the product pictures. Gaskets, mounting hardware, fuel lines or linkages are not listed as included.
In many cases it will bolt to the F134-style intake manifold on the listed Jeeps, but some vehicles may require new gaskets, manifold adapters, different studs/bolts, or minor linkage adjustments. Verify mounting flange pattern and linkage/vacuum connections before installation.
Yes. The listing specifically recommends using clean fuel and cleaning the vehicle fuel circuit and air filter before installation to avoid clogging. Also fit a good fuel filter and inspect fuel lines for debris.
The listing does not state ethanol compatibility. Ethanol can degrade some rubber components and increase deposits in older carburetors. If you use ethanol-blended fuel, inspect seals, float, and gaskets and consider ethanol-compatible components or an inline filter.
You should expect to perform setup and tuning after installation — idle speed, mixture, choke operation and possibly float level and jetting adjustments. Fine-tuning may be needed to achieve optimal running on your engine.
Most aftermarket carburetors of this style use serviceable jets, floats and needles, but the listing does not provide specific details. If you expect to rebuild or change jets, confirm the available parts and sizes with the seller or a carburetor specialist.
Common causes include contaminated fuel or clogged jets (the listing warns about impurities), vacuum leaks at the mounting gasket, improper float level, incorrect linkage hookup, blocked fuel filter, or need for mixture/idle adjustment.
No gaskets or hardware are listed as included. It is recommended to buy a new intake/carburetor gasket set and any required studs or nuts before installation.
If you are not experienced with carburetor installation and tuning, professional installation is recommended. Proper gasket sealing, linkage setup and tuning are important for reliable operation.
Compare the seller part numbers (923808, 17701.02) to your existing carburetor's part number, check the mounting flange pattern and bolt spacing, and confirm vacuum/port locations and throttle linkage compatibility. If in doubt, contact the seller with photos and vehicle details.
After installation, inspect for fuel leaks, verify choke and throttle operation, set idle speed and mixture, and periodically check/replace the fuel filter and air filter. If fuel contamination was an issue, consider flushing lines and cleaning the fuel tank.
