Default Help with Qjet tuning

Hey everyone


I'm from Europe. I want to tune my qjet carb from my original 77 L48. I have never tuned a carburator before...


I searched on the internet for information on how to do it yourself, but didn't find a clear step by step guide with photo's etc. ...


I've read that there is man called Lars, and that he has written a 'guide/manual' about how to tune qjet carburators.


Does anyone know if he would be willing to share his information?
How can I contact him? (Email address?)

This book along with Lars' paper and you will be set. The pictures in the book are helpful to understand which parts you are working with. Not sure if you can find one in Europe, but I was able to find an old Quadrajet on eBay for about $25 that I was able to take apart first so I had an idea as to what I was getting into.

People gathered round as the show down took place.....when Qjet made its move the people all gasped as Lars quickly took him down to bare parts....and stripped of his faded glory....to bring him back to life as a resurrected Q-Jet.....a man called Lars....a man called Lars....."

How many of us get our own Wikipedia entry?
