Instructions and an exploded, numbered diagram will be included with a carburetor rebuild kit. You take it apart by the numbered diagram, clean everything with carb cleaner, make sure all passages are clear and not blocked, then put it back together by the numbered diagram in exact reverse of disassembly. Make all adjustments as you go along as the instructions dictate (like float level). When done, a new base gasket, torque down the mounting nuts, and make final adjustments.
I'm not sure, it's been a while but I think it's a 2 barrel. Take the breather off and look down inside the carb. There will be 1 or 2 "holes" going down, these are the barrels. Putting a larger carb on it will require an adapter plate. I do recall back in the 80's seeing an adapter plate for a 4 barrel for a slant 6. Probably your best bet would be to get in touch with a company like "Summit Racing" and see what they have available.
1985 Jeep Cherokee came with either a 4 cylinder 2.5L with a 1 barrel carb or a 6 cylinder 2.8L with a 2 barrel carb. The 4WD only had the option of a 4 cylinder 2.1L turbo Diesel.
The mixture screws are at the bottom front of the 2 front barrels. They poke into the barrels from outside the carb.
Butterfly usually refers top the throttle plates that open and close the barrels, but if you have a quadrajet, they may also refer to the upper plates on the back 2 barrels that only open when the throttle is wide open.
The float level is the distance of the top of the float when the float valve is closed. As gas flows into the bowl thru the float valve, the float rises and eventually closes when the proper float level is reached by the gas.
that 2 barrell needs some more work done to it and what was wrong with the 4 barrell the 2 main jets in a 4 barrell are smaller than a 2 barrell as long as you dont engage the 4 barrells your using less gas anyways.
