Don't give up on her Nate... problems are always big when we cant figure them out, but there's 100,000 smooth miles after it's all figured out and repaired. And those miles will be sweeter... smile

Okay...called the shop and I'm going to have it towed over there this evening. Hopefully it's nothing serious (or too expensive) if not covered by the warranty.

My fingers are crossed for ya buddy. Just be patient, it will work out. Look how long it took for me to figure out my problem awhile back, when it was backfiring. Can't timing chain, waterpump(just because) wires, and all, and turned out to be a bad wire.

It will work out in the end.

It's an "80's" thing... it just misses all the long hair. Put on some spandex and a big hair wig and I bet it'll run like a top!

It's what you learn after you know it all, that counts...

Are you living to work, or working to live?

Update:

Shop called and it turns out the reman carburetor and used carburetor were literally dumping gas into engine and fouling out the plugs.

New carb and plugs are in order. They're going to do the work because quite frankly I was done screwing with it.

I guess...the price tag isn't good news, but at least I know the job will be done right. This shop does good work.

I am 1-for-2 in carb rebuilding success rate... have no idea what I did wrong on my second QJet... it's not easy!

so this work isn't covered by their warranty?
