Default Carbeureter Question

Anyone know of like a "how to rebuild or repair a quadraject" instructional video or something? I'm living an automotive nightmare right now.

Joe, why don't you send it to LARs for a rebuild. He is the man when it comes to QJETS. He has done hundreds of these for forum members.

:iagree: If you have the time and $ send it to Lars and it will be done right the first time. But, it can be done reasonably well by a novice. (I did). If you do decide to do it yourself though, get the Book by Doug Roe "Rochester Carburetors" . Take your time, be methodical and clean and it should turn out ok.

Hey! Everyone!!! I just got back from a bar so bear with me for a few, I'm a little tipsy... don't worry I had a designated driver, as always. Anyhow, I just bought the book by Doug Roe and I'm going to try and get things working with that... If I have no luck I'll buy a remanufactured one and send my original one to Lars... I've seen his troubleshooting post on http://www.corvettefaq.com which is an awesome site by the way... Also what is Lar's Addy/ phone #? I'd love to at least talk to this guy since he is so highly reccomended. If I ever do learn quadrajets well enough I'm going to create a nice video showing the average carb nobody how to do a basic rebuild, unless someone beats me to it... *Cough* Lars *Cough* Anyway... I really appreciate the feedback guys. I was begining to think I wouldn't get any. I've got a butt-load of carb questions since I plan on rebuilding my top end I'd like some good tips on tuning. Also a nice explanation of what part is called what in a tutorial with nice diagrams or photos would help... the stuff that came with my rebuild kit would have been fine if I knew something about carbs...

Yes I am a dumb butt, it seems
