Coming home last night in the Jeep (258 I-6) when it lost power and backfired a few times. It managed to keep going for about 1 mile in 2nd gear before losing total power and starting to get hot.
Now when I crank it it will try to start but backfires through the carb.
In the last week I have had trouble with crude in my gas, I changed filter and cleaned out all that had collected in the boll of the carb and it was running great.
My first thought was that I had sucked up some of that crude and plugged a jet in the carb..........but would that cause the backfire? or do I have bigger trouble?
