Haven't had any time at all to even worry about the carb issue, just been running the rig with the old carb on there.

I did however just pick up a used Q-Jet at a friends garage sale for $10. He said it ran 20 years ago, so should be a good NON-FRANKENSTIEN rebuild candidate.

I just ordered the Cliff Ruggles Q-Jet book. As soon as I finish getting my shop cleaned up, and a work bench cleaned off, I'll do some reading in that book and get started.

Thank you all for your input on this thread!
You won't be disappointed. Just take your time...don't rush. I knew next to nothing about these carbs, and rebuilt mine with his book.....carb works great. Good luck.
