A birthday ride in the 1948 Willys CJ-2A gets cut short by a classic mechanical failure: the dreaded lean bog. When your vintage Jeep gasps, hesitates, and stalls under throttle, you have a fuel delivery problem. In this episode of Hacking Patina, we dive straight into diagnosing a severe hesitation issue on the '48 flatfender. We tear down the Carter WO carburetor to inspect the float needle and accelerator pump, and run a dead-simple visual test to prove our mechanical fuel pump diaphragm has completely failed. Watch as we clear the fuel lines, install a new manual-prime fuel pump, and get this classic L-head engine roaring back to life without hesitation. #WillysJeep #CJ2A #CarterWO #Willys #Flatfender #JeepRevival #Mechanic #CarburetorRepair #HackingPatina
