FWIW when I see s Qjet with missing pieces I know some hack has been playing with it and would be looking for another one. I have bought a few carbs on ebay much better than yours for under $50. You may get lucky with yours though and hopefully somebody just tossed the rod and everything else is ok.

So you said you unstuck the secondaries!
What exactly did you do to do that?

jdf915 · 03-30-2015, 10:50 PM

Hammer and blunt chisel.
