Q jet loses prime.

I toyed with the idle/air adjustment, and now it seems to fire right up everytime. I think it was too lean the entire time. The idle seems kind of high now, but that might just be the nature of the beast.

Probably need to lower the idle screw since adjusting the mixture screws

The unfortunate thing is that the carb before this one was a rebuild as well. I guess my choices are either keep playing the rebuild lottery, pay a premium for a quality rebuild, rebuild my current junk, or just buy a modern 4 barrel carburetor and all associated adapters.

Or inject it
