This may or not help, but my Q Jet was on my car for over 15 years and the secondaries weren't opening consistently. I read all the Lars papers and try as a might; I couldn't get it fixed. So I took it to a local rebuilder and $250 later, the secondaries opened fine, but low speed was all jumpy and undriveable. I took it back, but he couldn't get it right. I have had good luck with Chinese clone motorcycle carbs and Chinese clone webers for my VW. So I took a shot and for a little over $200 got a new Chinese clone Q Jet on ebay that worked perfectly right out of the box. That was over 6 months ago and still going strong.

Not sure what exactly OP budget range is but there are a couple on e-bay that to me look like good candidates...
