Anyone know where a exploded view (like the one that comes with a carb. kit) is for the carburetor on a 51 m38? I think my carb. is missing a gasket.

There is an amazing amount of technical information, manuals, etc. in the "Downloads" section of this website - just click Downloads above for the entire menu. This is the link to the rebuild info for the M38 carb: http://www.willysmjeeps.com/downloads/YScarb.pdf

surplusjeep.com is another handy resource for readily accessible exploded views of lots of parts:

http://www.surplusjeep.com/M38/M38_%20Lead_%20Page.htm

It's certainly less informative than a TM, but it's helped me a few times.

Toyvo,

I hope since you own an M38 that you have procured the applicable manuals. The illustrations you seek are in them. The M38 Parts Manual ORD 9 SNL G-740 for example. If cost is an issue simply download them from this web site and use them free of charge.

The manual for the carb itself is also in our downloads section.

Ok here is what I have found. Past bubbas have replaced the original military carb. with a Carter civie carb., then replaced that carb with a Crown carb., then replaced that carb with a Chinese Crown knock off that I can't get numbers off of to buy a kit. The owner brought me (thank god he saved them) all the replaced carbs. I took the civie Carter carb. bought a master kit and overhauled it. I would have really rather used the military carb. but he didn't have that one. The M38 runs like a top now. No hesitation, full power and good idle. The only draw back is that it is no longer snorkel worthy. If he ever wants a show car he will have to start looking for all the right parts. I may not be here for a while, the owner has spent his allotted funds and has started saving for the next round. BRAKES!
I am looking for a bad ass wheel puller for the drums. I had one I borrowed from another M38 owner several years ago but he is now dead and I will contact his son to see if he still has his dads tools. Till then thanks for the replies, YOU GUYS ARE GREAT!!!
Wess; I do have both manuels for this unit the military and civi. But neither one covers the Crown carb.

I would suggest adding the striker type hub puller to your permanent tool kit if you intend to continue working on these older vehicles. The tool is not jeep specific but used on many makes and years. I've had one since the 60's. Use it once every 3 or 4 years but still worth every penny.

Thanks Wes,
The puller I borrowed belonged to a guy that owns a large machine shop, he built this puller with 1/2 in plate drilled it for 3 different hole patterns and used a 1 in. dia. fine thread bolt in the center. He told me when I first borrowed it to tighten the bolt as tight as I could get it and use a 16 lb. sledge. As I recall his exact words were "KNOCK THE FLAMING DOG $HIT OUT OF IT!!!" Very Happy

He should have warned you to leave the nut on the axle so the puller and hub didn't go sailing across the room! The puller above is infinately adjustable to bolt patterns and is still priced very reasonably by folks like OTC and etc.

Wes, I was going to ask you where you bought that great device. Any place you particularly recommend?

I have acquired two over the years. An OTC and a Mil Surplus unit.

Here's a new one for $153

I've found OTC tools at very good prices at www.tooltopia.com. They have the Universal Hub Puller, #7394, currently listed at $123 http://www.tooltopia.com/otc-tools-7394.aspx
