This picture doesn't represent the current situation. I got all of the vacuum lines hooked up correctly (or to my knowledge).

So does anyone know where I can get a replacement? Should I try tightening the adjustment spring? Or is it easier to go with a new carb?

Yes, it's one of the easiest things to do on a qjet.

CALIBRATED FOR FUEL ECONOMY

Any time I see a product that is labeled "green," environmentally friendly, or as above, fuel economical, etc, my first reaction is to run. Most products with these labels, IMO, don't work well and are overpriced.
