high rpm issue on rebuild quadrajet
rytari:
i have tried to change timing but that wont give me any help, i can get idle rpm down by turning advance later but it goes too late, got backfire and low power.
i did remove idle tubes yes, but float is old one. rebuild kit didn't include one. i grind baseplate and inspected that airhorn is good but with the top of the carb out, it seems that my center of primaries is a bit higher than float bowl walls, i think my main body is a bit warped, i don't know what it is when i fit all together but like i said, i cannot find any vacuum leaks outside the carb with using highly flammable brake cleaner.
cliff, how much your kit shipping to finland would be...
Cliff Ruggles:
Rebuild kits are $45. I'll check with Marie for shipping price, send an email to cliffshp@embarqmail.com with an address to ship to and she'll send a quote....thanks....Cliff
rytari:
i got answer from marie about shipping... if i add kit+ shipping and add what goes to customs and tax... cost almost as much as i buy a complete factory tbi taken from some 90´s pick-up
have to little rethink again..

If you were thinking about doing an MPFI system, I wouldn't try to persuade you, but the QJ is going to beat that TBI up and down the block, especially for power.
