Re: Green Machine
Now, with the carb clean and all the parts present, it was finally time to rebuild the Q-Jet! Starting at the bottom, I used some 0.015" teflon to bush the throttle shafts.
The idea is, take up the slack in the stepped area of the throttle plate so the throttle shafts ride on this teflon in the still round part of the plate hole rather than in the egg shaped part of the hole worn out over the years.
A few new screws to hold the throttle butterflies in and the base was ready!
This process was really quite easy and makes more sense to my feeble mind than boring out the base and bushing with metallic bushings. The parts were ~$20 delivered from McMaster/Carr and I still have enough teflon left to do a couple dozen more Q-Jets, lol!
