Hey,
Welcome to the Jeep world! I'm a newbie Jeep owner too and these guys have been a lot of help for me so far. I know I've asked some pretty stupid stuff and no one has taken my head off my shoulders (yet). LOL

I have a 1985 CJ7 that is currently not running. With luck and the advice I got here, I am hoping it will start up tomorrow.

Sometimes the figuring out what is wrong with something is the most fun of working on this stuff. Everyone said pretty much the same thing...check the basics. Make sure you have fuel going to the carb and check to make sure you have spark at the plugs. I had neither when I started this morning and now I at least have the spark at the plugs.

Good luck.

Mike
