Re: Backfire through carb under load
hello<br /> whoever did the carb last knew some about the q-jet. q-jets are incredibly simple carbs that have been about since 1965 or so. the epoxy on the passage plugs is something I always doo. make sure its still there and in good shape when the dunking is done.<br /> the red seal is not a seal.<br /> its a retainer. the seal is between the bore and the jet holder body. engine vacum holds the spring loaded jet holder down. when the throttles are opened and engine vacum falls the spring pushes the holder up and the tapered rods retract from the priamry jets and more fuel flows through the primary circuits. like I say its a very simple carb but requires some knowledge on the circuits and how each works.
