Wont idle right

[budmc77]

My 500 Rubicon won't idle right. As soon as you put it in gear it will die. If you give it a little gas, it will go into gear and not die. it doesnt do it 100% of the time just most time. It just started doing this just the other day all of a sudden. Could it be the idling is off? I think it might have something do with the air filter and not gettin enough air but not sure.

Thankx in advance for any help

Re clean the air filter and turn the idle up just a bit, check your jets to make sure they are clean,

Is it real hard to clean the jets?

try cleaning the air filter and with the pet cock off, drain the carb of fuel. pay attention as to whether or not theres warter in there. you may also want to add a bit of stabil in the fuel. this will aid is burning off any impurities in the fuel aswell as cleaning things within the carb.

Where would the water be coming from? Condensation?
