Quick Q-jet Question
Looking for an experienced q-jet person. Its about my boat, not about my vette, but since I find knowledgeable folks here, I need some confirmation.
Had my q-jets rebuilt on my boat. It starts poor, like it is over rich (flooded). I backed down the low idle mixture screws and it improved, but they are bottomed out. I beleive the floats are set to high.
Logical conclusion?
If there is a better forum to get q-jet answeres, please point me there.
Thanks guys.....

Cliff Ruggles has a forum for the Q-jet.
This is his home page;

Just click on the "forum" tab on the left.
Pretty hard to diagnose all the possibilities for your symptom without more info, but over there they can probably hone in on your issue quickly.
That being said float level too high is a good place to start.

I have been told there is a difference between automotive and marine carbs. I believe it has to do with baffles and vent systems in the marine version due to the excessive motion in marine use.
