I have a 86 ea82 4x4 wagon that i just put a junk yard engine in with 96.000 miles. My question is what is the diff between 4x4 carb and 2 wd carb? Been running great for last 2 weeks but just today when i go around sharp corners the engine sputters then goes back to normal. So is it because i have a 2 wd carb on that came with the engine or is it a sticky float from sitting for two years? I have ran good carb cleaner in it but still does it around corners.

The sticky float is a good place to start. It wouldn't hurt to get an accelerator pump and a top gasket and do a "half-rebuild" on the carb. While you have it apart, you could inspect and clean the float and its bowl.

Your best bet is to swap complete manifold and carb from the original engine. Unless your vehicle has California emissions, I'm suprised it runs at all. All 2wd EA-82 carbs are ECM controlled, 4wd EA-82 does not use a computer exc. Cal. Computer controlled carbs. have a 4 prong elect connector, all others a 3 prong
