Man, that really sucks Rich. After your experience I will not use QP when I do decide to have mine rebuilt. I'll use National Carb here in Jacksonville; one week turnaround and I can go right to them if something's not right.
I wouldn't let QP off the hook; if it's their fault, they need to make good on it.

When I got my truck, she ran like crap... turns out the choke was fully closed all the time! Not to mention poorly adjusted mixture screws, idle screw, timing set WAY too advanced, and more.

A very generous forum member close by in Daytona helped get mine running 98% ... just a little hesitation/stumble/bog if you really hit the gas that we couldn't get rid of, but otherwise she runs great, starts hot or cold, I can't complain.
