I cant get a good idle, it loads up and it falling over about 90 ft. out then pickup a sec. later.
The carb was built by a local SS racer a few years ago. It has the pri. rods removed.
I have to have the throttle open a lot of turns to keep it running.
The fuel is being pulled from the mains and the idle screws have little affect.
I have tried other Q jet carbs, even a new Jet stage 3.
I guess the question is, how do I get this to run right.
Did this carb ever idle on your car? When you tried the other carbs did they work properly?
