Every morning when I start the Jeep, she don't won start. The battery is new, maybe I can make a little tune up (spare plug and wire) and see if it's better?

Only in the mornings? Carb issue, probably choke. Do you press the accelerator to close the choke valve and prime the barrels?

The Jeep start but the second time I try to start it.

No I don't press the accelerator. But I need to make it before turn on the key?

Yes, but no more than once, otherwise you could flood it. You don't need to do this when the engine is still warm or even on a hot day.

Has it had this issue since you got it, or did it show up recently? I hate chasing no-start issues, but I always rule out the electrical first, and that means checking your ignition switch circuit.

MInes the same way, if you press gas pedal more than once it floods.Then you have to hold gas pedal wide open for it to start.
