The car idled and drove fine a day ago, but still no top end power(only sat off the car for a day). Its a q-junk, factory lg4 305 with the TPS sensor and the other plug on top. I didnt really get the inside/bowls with the carb cleaner just sorta sprayed down in and around the secondaries and the outside to clean it up a little. The carb is pumping up with fuel and i have good pressure but no its pretty much not making its way into the intake. Should i visibly see fuel from the accelerator pump? Im pretty sure i messed up the float or got some gunk in the jets like suggested. Oh well im pretty sure the carb needs a good rebuild anyways. May pick up another qjet from chrisinNJ(cant remember exact spelling). Oddly enough with all the lg4/l69 ownage ive never had a problem with a q-jet so idk how to diagnose or fix them ...OR i just had a holley in its place. I had an edelbrock carb on my work van too and that never gave me a problem either
