Re: Hard Starting Hot

I find it doubtful the fuel evaporation in less than 10 hours, overnight in cool-ish weather. It surely cannot be plugs (I have read a LOT about them), unless it wasn't rebuilt correctly by Quadjet Power - they aren't supposed to be any other places better (unless you got one done by Lars).

I went to great length to get the correct 72 Qjet for my truck (the one I took off was from a 78 Chevy Truck 17058213). But here is my number: 7042208. Which now has been worked on by Quadrajet Power (modified to Performance II). You wouldn't believe what I spend on the carb and then to have it worked on. Not to mention 18 weeks of waiting (and the two before it getting the 7042208).

I thought I was on to something when I found the truck will idle now at ~600 RPM's with throttle fully closed.. it will not die anymore with throttle closed.

Carb can idle with them closed. It has bypass air built in and we richened the mixture based on your engine descriptions.
