Ripped off
Sometimes there are things beyond your control. Like a miniscule hole or crack. Carburetors can be funny beasts. But that doesn't sound like the case here. I just got done building a Thermoquad for a member here. It's gotta go from Georgia to Oregon and I'm sweatin bullets hopin it'll be right. It came out nice. But I can tell you, if my customer has the difficulty you describe, I will refund every penny and pay him to ship it back. When you do one with the car in front of you, a Thermoquad can give you fits.....much less with someone else installing and adjusting it. But again, it does not sound like any of that was the issue. I am sorry this happened. I sure as hell wish you had asked me. I am in the Macon area and would have done the carb and driven to Nashville if that's where you are and even put it on for you and adjusted it out good. They aren't hard to build or adjust, you just have to do some unconventional stuff, like bend rods that you wouldn't normally do to another carburetor that's perfectly normal with a Thermoquad. If you keep havin trouble, PM me. I've been building carburetors since 1978. I'll help you iron it out for free just to meet a new friend.
Nevermind. I see you're in Virginia. I caint drive all that far. LOL Be glad to help you on the phone though.
