Driving along and Engine dies. Common problem in older Willys CJ's. Particles in the gas tank have come loose and sucked down to the outlet blocking the fuel from reaching the fuel pump. Remove the gas tank and clean it out! Compressed air works well or flush the tank with gasoline.
Frequent Hesitation, Shooting black smoke. This is a common Carburetor problem. The throttle shaft has become worn and no longer fits causing too much air mixture. You can either repair by having a mechanic drill and insert a bushing, or replace the carburetor with an aftermarket Solex.
Hesitation while Accelorating. This is a common distributor advance problem. this can be mechanical or vaccum advance distributors. In a mechanical distributor there are 2 springs below the plate holding the condensor and points. One of these springs is broken. In vacuum advance distributors, the vacuum chamber could be faulty. Please see the Service Manual for information on disassembling and repair.

Serial Numbers. The chassis number may be found on a plate fastened on outside of left frame side rail at front end or at left of the drivers seat on floor riser on first CJ2A. Then it was re-located on the upper right corner of the dash panel under hood on the later CJ2A and all CJ3A.
