I am looking for a single barrel carburetor for my CJ and it seems difficult trying to find one....any suggestions or assistance would be great. Thanks

Guessing you have a Carter YF. Good simple carburetor. I have one on my CJ5
What's wrong with the one on it?

What problems are you having?
You might need to take a look at it your self. Or it might not be a carburetor problem at all.

HI,
Not knowing your knowledge.
Did you try adjusting the Air/Fuel mixture screw.. that needs to be adjusted per what the pacific motor needs.. A Miss adjusted mixture screw can cause the motor to miss , run ruff, run rich at idle, not wanting to idle. this setting is usually like 1 1/2 turns OUT form LIGHTLY seated. The mixtue screw is in the base of the carb and has a spring around it.. as well as the choke if electric or heat operated needs adjusting as well.. As well as the idle screw'S one is for fast idle when the motor is cold and the other is curb idle for when the motor is warmed up.. Have you tried adjusting these??

Age of a carburetor is not always the measure of when to replace it, its more the soundness of it, and how it has survived the amount of use it has on it.
I have an MC2100 2 bbl carb, it was manufactured in September 1966. Original use was on a Ford Falcon or similar car, has been passed through several owners in its lifetime, no doubt rebuilt who knows how many times. It runs my '81 CJ5 w/258 but feels like the truck has a V8 in it instead of the I6, and the carb performs flawlessly from idle to WOT.
Suggest to check all other systems in/around the engine bay, then if it is found the carb is the issue, you go through it yourself. These are very easy carbs to work with, and a ton of info here to help you work through rebuilding it............IF needed.
