My Q-Jet Started boging, after I pulled the emissions, it doesnt bog ALOT, but its pretty gay.

I wanna know how I can stop this from happening and while Im at it how to preformace tune it, for a lightly moded 305.

Thanx.

 

Usually it's from setting the air valve to open too easily (not enough tension).

Try increasing the tension in 1/8 turn increments.

 

How exactly is a carb gay?
Check your adolescence at the door please.

 

i was wondering the same thing

how is a carb gay???

does it like other carbs??

only other quadrajets??

i must have missed something..LOL

 

hey hey hey.... lets not dog on the 3rd gen members here. The dude wasnt saying carbs are gay, he is saying that the fact that it is not working is gay, another way of saying its something he doesnt like. Keep the thread alive, dont flame it and help out another 3rd gen driver.

 

Wow, some people need to learn how to keep up with modern day slang around here. Relax guys, just because you use certain words to describe a situation, doesn't mean you are immature. It's just like dropping the F bomb, which I'm sure many of you have done yourselve's in the past when being upset with your car.

Check the A.V. tension like suggested above.

 

hey now thats not a good thing to call your camaro the "F BOMB"........A.K.A.= FORD.............LMAO...LOL......LOL.....LOL

:lala: :lala: :lala: :lala:

 

All your tuning needs for the CC Q-jet here .

 

Modern slang? Hmmm, to me its simply a measure of ones maturity and intelligence.

 

Well, be as it may, but as the old saying goes, never judge a book by it's cover.

 

but its always easy to tell a fool by his words...... ...

 

I agree with ljnowell here. Not only is that immature, it is offensive to some. One of my best friends is gay, and I suspect that he would take offense to you using that word to describe something you dislike. JMO

I object to homosexuals highjacking the formerly perfectly fine word "gay".

But, on a technical note...

I really object to people's disparaging opinion of the quadrajet when they haven't even attempted to understand it. The answer to most q-jet problems is typically a simple two-step process:

1) Tune up the ignition.

2) Adjust the q-jet.

 

LMAO, that is the truth!

But technically, as Five7 said, You can usually tell a persons experience by thier vocabulary. Things like quadrajunk, quadrabog, etc.

 

i also get a kick outta the many many different spellings for edelbrock or is it edelcrap or edlebreak...LMAO....these guys crack me up ...LMAO

 

Yeah, I hear it all the time too. Most of these guys are under the impression that if it isnt holley its junk. Personally I would take a Qjet or edelbrock over a holley any day. For my daily driver anyway.

 

Well, I've got a Holley on one car, a CC q-jet on another, a manual q-jet on the horse trailer tow vehicle. They all have their place.

I haven't had a problem with q-jet bog because I've known since about 1973 how to adjust the AV tension. I didn't appreciate the importance of the choke pull-off in that process until about 5 years ago. You need both - AV tension adjustment and choke pull-off properly operating. If this condition has developed recently, I'd check the pull-off first.

I replaced the Edelbrock Performer q-jet with the Holley on the 396 because the AV didn't open consistently - always had a gritty feel to its motion - and inconsistent AV opening isn't a good thing in a bracket racer. Supposedly, Edelbrock "fixed" all of the problems Rochester never did. I didn't see it. I sold it for $75 at a swap meet this spring. The Holley has served very well, was fairly simple to set up for what I'm doing, and has been much more consistent.

I haven't had a single problem with the CC q-jet on the Camaro. I even raced it for one season, and it was reasonably dependable. If I was racing it now, I'd make a lot of changes, but not to the q-jet (assuming I was also driving it daily as I am now).

 

ur ****ing gay

 

and again maturity shows ....LOL

 

And you have been reported, buddy. have a nice life in high school.

 

honestly, let's not make this a politically correct forum. i get enough of that bull**** watching TV. he has his right of free speech. millions of people are offended by things like that every day, but it's only an issue if a minority gets offended .

 

i can see freedom of speach and all that but what about comments like this should this be okay???

it should be an issue no matter what even if it isnt a minority being offended that type of laguage and bs shouldnt be allowed on here...LOL

i can understand why he put what he did about his carb some people just dont have a good way of saying things they use slang instead of the correct words ...

 

i'll concede that whoever made the f-ing gay comment was well, below a high IQ (i say this in hopes of not offending stupid people....my apologies), my point is to simply that the uproar because he called his carberator gay is unneccasary.

 

There was no uproar, just the statement that this is an adult forum, and that juvenile statements like that will get you no help whatsoever. This isnt about being politically correct its about being an adult. You should treat everyone here with respect, then there wouldnt be problems like this. Besides, this is way off topic.

 

How about a Holley rebuilt Quadrajet? .... My carb is having an identity crisis.

 

I dont know, that is kinda confusing for your poor carb. Maybe you should get it some counseling!

 

LMAO.....how about rochester.......LOL

 

this forum is going down hill

 

this one started out on a down hill roll ...LMAO

 

lol snow ball effect

 

No matter how bad this thread is this was funny. And if it is Holley rebuilt is it bi? I had one on my 83 and it worked rather well.
