Hi Demonsizzler, I was just wondering why you wouldn't post your answers about the ThermoQuad on here instead of PMing or Emailing? It would help other Thermo owners now and in the future. Thanks

Well ...I will post for all to see The chances are VERY GOOD that this prob is sunken floats. I will dig-up the brass floats # and post it later. The float issue on the TQ is very famous. Other than a MALadjusted secondary air-valve .... the problem caused by these bad floats are majorly complained about.

I was looking for this topic before I hit-the-hay .... Most of the TQ's had "plastic" floats that did not need to be "old" to sink. Seems like some of the alky blend fuels did them in. ACC pumps ? .... I have done more than my share of the Plastic-Fantastics ....and honestly ...I have never had to need to replace one of those. ThermoBog ? ... ... you calling it that - you STILL could not have figured that AV out. ALL you need is that new-and-improved AV tool to tweak-it-right. Available from yurrs-truly !

If the gas is on the top O ring or jet wells leaking probably won't be the problem.
Another thing to check is the float level. That is measured WITH THE GASKET INSTALLED! So you may have them set too high.

I'd put a good filter ahead of the carb and a new needle/seat

that is a stock(airtex type I believe) pump. got a vacuum gauge handy w the neoprene adapter to fit it to your fuel line as most have a psi scale to use also but I will opinionate that excessive psi is not the problem.
