The problem i am having right now is I have fuel going to my needle and seat but I can't seem to get any in my carb. I have had some sever cold weeather lately and thought my lines were froze. Got by that and I thought my fuel pump was shot. Bought new one of those and now I am stuck. I am ready to rebuild the whole damn thing. Any ideas?

This is very useful information,however my problem was a litte deeper rooted within my carburetor body. I had to remove the top of my carburetor and blow air thru the idle circuit passage from the bowl to the venturi body. It wasn't really hard, except I had to fuss around a bit with the metering rods, as they are a little difficult to seat back in the passages upon reassembly. The cause was that the jeep had been sitting and some crud had gathered in the bottom of the bowl from the evaporated fuel. The only other thing I can offer is to make sure you have removed the accelerator pump check ball and spring from the carb body is you plan to remove the carburetor to dump the bowl. I had to learn this the hard way.
