quadrajam:
Have you checked fuel pressure?

Also if you have a steel fuel line between your fuel pump
and carb make sure its not getting hot enough to boil
fuel in line. This will overcome any needle/seat/float
and spew fuel into the plenum.

srb12:
Yes, 5 psi.
Latest part is rubber. But last times starting was the engine cold.

Strange is that it also started right away yesterday on the choke. Turned it right off, because I couldn't go for a drive. But was curious if it would start and it did.

srb12:
Well it turned out I had a funky condenser. Worked sometimes, sometimes didn't. Multimeter tests aren't reliable apparently.

Fires right up on the choke. Idles well and stable, part throttle performs great and full throttle is fun :D Hot start is also great.

Thanks for your time Cliff! My remanufactured Q-jet luckily was salvageable.

Happy customer.

Cliff Ruggles:
Good news!
