MonteMack Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Ended up getting my quadrajet rebuilt locally, popped it on along with my new intake and Hei distributor upgrade. Now its almost running steady again but at low acceleration it stutters and bogs making the car jump and stutter untill It shifts. Sometimes even backfiring at low speeds off the line. Once out of the exhaust and now out of the carb today. My question is, is my timing off or is it the carb that needs adjusting? And if so what adjustments exactly qjets are new to me.

stangeba Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 See if you have a good shot of gas when lightly opening the throttle. Many times the act of removing the fuel line and disturbing the (crud) that may have been there will plug the squirters. Good luck, Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam (Bones) Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 sounds lean at idle, Qjets like the idle mixture screws out 3 or more turns, not like the norm of 1 1/2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonteMack Posted August 2, 2017 Author Share Posted August 2, 2017 Ya its most likely running lean, its started stalling at low rpm and barely idles, will try adjusting the idle mixture screws aswell as timing. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
