When you go back to the tail pipe I hear excess sputtering.
I suggest you do a complete electrical tune up according to the USM before you touch the carburetor adjustments.
Also I hear it idling fast.
I suggest that you set dwell with a timing light and meter if available then slow the idle speed down to 600 rpm if it will still run.

The standard Willys tune-up begins with checking the battery condition and ends with adjustment of the carburetor.
It is a series of tests that are progressively dependant upon the sequenced input.

I don't recall that anyone has ever uploaded the complete sequence as it is presented in the Universal Service Manual.

Nice looking Jeep, I'm sure you will get it running right. Is that a 6" suction nozzle in the back?
Old retired fart living in Ione, WA. I have a 1964 CJ3B. Recently overhauled original motor, transmission and overdrive. 11" Bronco drum brakes on all 4. Needs a new coat of paint but that will have to wait till next summer, it's next summer and I'm working on that now :) UPS & FEDEX will continue to profit :)

Steve, without a doubt, that's one good looking five-four! Don't know what it is about that familiar deeper metallic green paint with black trim, but whatever it is, I dang sure like it!

PS...noting that the rear top bow pockets are missing (from the outer corners), is your tub a repro from MD Juan, or were the pockets simply removed?

Larry thanks , it is an original tub minus the bow brackets . I took them off during the first rebuild never replaced them (and I should have) still a lot of stuff to do ..I was thinking of painting the rims the same as the body ..what do you think? I also set the timing and points and do you think it sounds any better than before ? thanks StevePosted Image

I have a hard time getting on those two links but it does seem to be much improved.
Lower RPM and less sputtering.

Is it an original color? If not, what is the color?

It looks great.
