Excellent video, thank you. My rebuild would hav been all wrong without this and I would have been in big trouble, great job, cheers

Great video, I watched many Quadrajet KZread videos. I think this is the best one. Lots of great information here. Thank You!

There's only 2 videos worth watching how to rebuild a Quadra Jet carb and this is one of the best! Thank you for doing it. I really learned a lot quickly from your income full video.

You're a maestro sir !! It's always a pleasure to watch a pro at work making everything look so easy. Awesome job on Chris' carbs. He did well to send them to you for the rebuild. Cheers

Thanks for the detailed video rebuilt mine with your help and I runs better than ever.

Great to hear!

I've owned 3 quadra jets now, this video makes me like them just a little more. It's the nuance's and I appreciate them.

Absolutely the best video I have seen on a Quadrajet overhaul. Really well explained.

Thank you very much for a great informative video, I had a great success rebuilding my carburetor with your video

I noticed your big paws get in the way, of the view, in critical times. However your instructions are the best. Thank you.

Amazing work Chris. I can't say thank you enough for getting those sorted out.

Its a testament to the quadrajet that its used in marine applications

I have to say this is a great video. Lots of great detail. Only complaint is would be extra great with like a split view of an over head close up shot when doing certain things to help see a bit better but still definitely a great video. I’m gonna call you out in the choke lever you forgot to install. Editing for the win lol.

Damn, I must have missed you taking out the idle air screws ugh! Watching now you telling me to put them back in I'm like huh.

I came here just for the stupid spring on the jet needles and i didn't see shit! Get closer, and use smaller tools next time please 🙏 other than that this is by far the best info ive found so far on these new to me marine quadra craps. 👍

The best ever video for Rochester marine carb👍👌 Would you please explain in writing down the measurement of the float lever in “millimetres” because I couldn’t realise it exactly…. Thank you so much

Just had my quadrajet 4 barrel carb done at a carb shop here and I'm trying to tune it and it's been tough. I did notice on the choke linkage side of the carb there is gas going in at idle but none on the other barrel.. 91 5.7l omc cobra...in a ski sanger

Nice video

This video is amazing. Clear and concise instructions, educational explanations. To me, a dumb young 26 yr old engineer, carburetors were just magic before, and now I know some of all the engineering that goes into how they work. Also, you saved me 400 bucks on my project boat. Followed this video and that 1978 Chevy 305 is running like the day it was made. Thank you so much sir for your video and best wishes to you. Quick question I had that some others might - the needle seat in my carburetor had two cut outs on the side in addition to the hole in the top. The one in the kit didn’t have those cutouts. Are those for higher fuel flow or something? Thanks again!

Just design is all. It really doesn't matter IMO.

Isn't that crimp mounted diaphragm assembly for opening the secondary side ? I'm pretty sure the first item removed was the choke stove. That's what's used for operating the choke on a Rochester. Great visual how to video. I like how you're pointing out all the little things , like the secondary rod identification letters and all other explanations. Nice job man . 👍

Thank you so much. Followed your video and hopefully should work 😂

Thank you for doing such a detailed video on the marine quadrajet! I appreciate the little nuggets of info and rebuilt mine with confidence and your video. Could I use the pull off vacuum and a vacuum gauge to dial it in on the boat. As you know there are no other vacuum ports on the carb?

As you say in the video, if I have not misunderstood, both the primary and secondary needles should cut off the flow of gasoline at idle, that is, if I mount the primary needles, I press them as if the engine were generating a vacuum, it should not if there is clearance between the needles and the nozzles, and also in the secondary needles, ????? And if the fuel level float is higher than it should be, would it also enrich the mixture more? greetings and thanks for your video

Can i bend the tab the way you did on a 83 Pontiac Volvo carb? I looked at the linkages and i didn't see one that looks like what you bent but then again, your hand was in the shot. Thanks in advance. This was an amazing video

Not going to check the throttle plates for leaking around the shaft

Question: for some reason the vacuum does not release when full throttle and idles rough when vacuum is connected and bogs because it won't allow the big barrels flaps to open. Kinda weird and runs much better with the vacuum disconnected. Carb is rebuilt ,Would you know what could cause the vacuum to not release when opening up the throttle?

so there is no air screw adjustments?

Hey I really appreciate your video on this, I have the Rochester quadrajet on the OMC cobra 5.7 gm 350, I have a couple of questions, on my primary metering rods I do not have that spring that you mentioned in this video was installed incorrectly do I need that spring, and then the gasket you mentioned you only seen the Omc use that you believe is to prevent the lag? Should I use that gasket or the one that does not have the gap between the primary and secondary’s? Thank you so much!!

what is the difference between a marine carburetor and a car carburetor ? and why are they paint in colour like blue and Black ,i am talking about the QUADRAJET ? and also your video are one of the best ,it is sensas ,very instructive thank you .i can not find your other video on QUADRAJET ,could you give me the link please ? thanks you

Nice instruction, thank you, but the low resolution makes it difficult to see the finer detail like the primary needle retaining spring.

My last run of the year I was running really rich with black smoke. Then half way to my destination, port engine quit. Would start back up and idle but die with throttle. Any suggestions? Was think accelerator pump took a shit. As for black smoke I'm unsure. (Both engines black smoke)

Sounds like fuel supply. Does it start good when cold? If so, pump most likely isn’t your concern.

Do I need the choke, and can I put an old fashioned knob choke in cab for manual control? Thanks in advance. I am going to run all manifold vacuum from the intake, and plan to put a vacuum gage and o2 meter gage for manual afr.

Great vid. My kit came with a black foam to cover main plugs. Is this needed after jb?Also my kit came without the accel pump spring.needed to remove from old one.Don`t ask me how i know..lol 20 minutes later too find the spring that launched

What would you charge for this minus shipping?

My 1988 318 has this carb. It starts fine and runs fine , with no black smoke while running But It smells rich and black carbon is visible in exhaust water at idle. Is there an adjustment to correct this or is a rebuild the only fix ?

Fantastic video here’s my question. Carburetor Rochester four barrel on a boat just like what you’re demonstrating it was rebuilt by a guy and his company down in Florida that specializes in it the ability to test without putting it on the water I wish I knew his name it was set up by my marine mechanic. What is that white pad inside at the bottom of the secondary chamber.

Is there a fast idle cam on a marine quadrajet ? Also is there s fast idle set screw on a marine quadrajet as well?

There is not. The linkage is there sometimes, but I haven’t run across one that the screw is present.

Que número de espera primaria o chicler lleva para un motor OMC cobra 5.0 v8 ,? Un saludo

One more question friend, I'll tell you, I have a Rochester Quadrajet carburetor and I want to change the primary nozzles along with the primary needles, and since there are different numbers of nozzles and primary needles, I have to deduce that depending on the number of nozzles, I must set the needle number equal to the nozzle number? I mean, if I put number 0.72 primary nozzles, should I put number 0.72 primary needles? I understand that in this way, the idling engine has the primary nozzles blocked with the primary needles, since they are of the same diameter, and that when accelerating and losing vacuum, the primary needles begin to rise, allowing fuel to pass to the primary jets, is that correct? all the best

Hi. Thank you so much for the video. I have a question. My numbers have been ground off on my quadrajet and I have an electric choke setup. Can I still get a service kit to do a strip down? I dont know which kit to order. Maybe I could send you some pics by email. I would really appreciate a little help as I am in UK and there are no specialists. The carb is from a GM 5.7 LG SGI motor 10263880. A kit would be fantastic, if only they were universal enough and I knew a part number. Thanks again. Nigel

I have the same Carb on 1996 350 Chevy engine boat and the other day I took the boat out to sea gave it the gas and it bog down and died, I started again and begun to wave and then died, It started right up but wen I gave it power it did the same thing, it runs fine in low power. What do you think it is?

Sounds like fuel delivery. Check fuel pump pressure/suction first. Also ten on a separate tank of fuel as well to eliminate your tank and fuel pickup.

I disassembled mine today. On the throttle body where yours has the two skinny tubes pointing downward mine has four of them. Are they all four supposed to come out when you remove the throttle body from the air horn?

Yes, that would be a big deal as under a load the metering rods won’t rise out of the jets to allow more fuel into the engine. That could cause issues it drivability concerns.

How do you final adjust the jets after the carburator is installed on the motor? This is a fantastic video. Also, I can't find my part number in any listing for a rebuild kit. The part is17080565 date code 0054.

Turn the idle screws in or out till you get your highest and smoothest idle. Or you can use a vaccum gauge till you achive your highest reading.
