Re: Problems with reman Q-Jet: round two

Ok, you have to get the curb idle down to normal. That can’t happen until the engine is warmed and carb off the fast idle cam. The fast idle cam system has an adjustment also, but dont touch that unless you have to. Curb idle is adjusted from the front on the drivers side. If you back the curb idle screw all the way off to where it’s not touching the linkage at all, it’s most likely an issue with the choke adjustment. The problem is that many reman carbs have the choke cover screws removed and rivets in their place. Which does yours have? Also, verify with a volt meter that you have 12 volts to the choke wire. If you don’t you’ll never get the idle speed down.
