Hi Cliff,
First, please accept my thanks for helping me to gain access here.
This site is a great service to all Q-Jet owners.
As you may recall (how could you ever forget(!) my long winded emails?
) I'm the guy from Nova Scotia with the modified 800 cfm single main airbleed carb # 17080213.
My question follows discovery of tolerance 'stack up' (sloppy factory machining) to the base plate of my carb.
The plate thickness (top to bottom face) is consistant front to rear and side to side... BUT have discovered both prim and sec throttle shaft bores were actually bored tilted ~ .009" to .010" from side to side... (measured with digital calipers).
Perhaps my concern is much ado' over nothing.
It just seems to me that running a fully divided dual plane setup that isn't precisely 'throttling' each side equally can't be a good thing.
An ever so slight difference (well... .009"- .010") in transition slot exposure can be seen upon close inspection.
Guess the question is: Nothing to be concerned about... or bite the bullet and do up another base plate?
Thanks for your time. Cheers!
