CLASS RACER FORUM - View Single Post - Q-jet Fuel Pouring out

JP Schuster · 04-15-2015, 02:06 PM

Hey guys, just another update:

Being the rookie that I am with these carbs, I looked right past the fact that the needle and seat could be stuck... It was a fresh Q-jet, however it sat for a number of months before actually getting to put it on.

Nonetheless, I was told to tap the front of the carb, pulse the fuel pump for the initial filling of the bowl, then let it rip.

Sure enough, no leaks.

Thanks everyone for their help and technical expertise! It was just a simple fix (or procedure) that got me back on the right track.

Thanks,

JP
