Thermoquad Flooding. Floats? needle/seats?

Had the same problem with my carb, turned out that the floats were way off..start there and trouble shoot as suggested.

Okay. So to check the floats the whole top has to be removed? What holds it on, the small 4 bolts/screws on the top four corners?

Hey Eric ...do you have a Mopar service manual ?

need to loose 4 rods/links:

passenger side:
manifold choke rod
choke pull off rod

driver side
high step cam push rod
Accelerator pump

Disconect gas line

10 screws on top... 8 are visible. two are inside the front airn horn

then will be able to remove the top section of body

You can make mounted on engine yet, and rest of parts will keep on car.


assemblying will need to remove metering rods, and mount them back once top plate is mounted. With everything in place, the Common metering rods link need to be loosen ( small screw on top and a cover. that will give you teh chance to partially loose that link.

also will need to remove the metering rods covers ( one small machined screw on each side and the cover )

hook the metering rods to the link, and push it untill get in on jets centered ( you can feel it, trying to push them down without problem ), and get the cover assemblied back.

Hey Nacho .....did you ever get a specific outlet name and part # on that primary O-ring ?

I posted on the respectivelly thread with pics

Hey Doc, No, I don't have a service manual. I'm in the market for one.

Nacho. Was that one of my threads that I forgot about? Got a link?

Thanks

TQ Chrysler manual ( 72, but works the same to all carbs, except on measurements to adjustment, but dissasembly and adjustment procedure )

O rings info ( on a previous thread where we were talking about )

https://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/show...rue#Post5261439

yesterday I used the last two ones NEW MATCHING O rings from rebuilt kit ( two like the left/bottom O ring on last pic I posted with 5 O rings ), just to try them, but Honestly I got very happey with the replacements I got and is a fact they are more reusable than originals.

Now I just have One original O ring ( the right/bottom on pic ), what it was diff mesurements than the other ones. Thats why I say, you can use any O ring size as far seals and don't break on assembly.

Drop base air cleaner! I've been using a drop base air cleaner but I have a small 1/2" riser that sits on top of the carb and under the drop base bottom part of the air cleaner. Is it possible that the bottom of the air cleaner could be too close to the vent stacks???? I've only used the drop base style cleaner before so can someone recommend a good functional air cleaner assy?

NOTE:

REMEMBER I'M JUST AN AMATEUR on this, so anything I can tell can be corrected by DEMONSIZZLER or any real carb tech. with all what I have experienced with my carbs, I just can tell from experience playing with then without REALLY KNOW what the hell I'm doing in some cases LOL

Hey Nacho .... how many TQ's have you built ?

And just because someone doesn't label themselves a "professional" does not mean that they know LESS than someone who might CHARGE to make a product or perform a service.

LOOK at some of the postings on transmission and engine topics. The knowledge of some here that are so-called amateurs some times is far more impressive than people who do-it for a living.

just mine... well I have three one: in DECENT conditions ( in my car ) and two more that could it be fixed, tuned somewhere, somehow... just that still dunno exactly how LOL... HAVEN'T TRIED EITHER again since I have the best I could get working already mounted. I'm having some issues on the very first initial gas press quite often... dunno if acelerator pump/linkage adjustment... or something else. I already tried changing pump itslef ( rubber, leather ), check valve ( roller, rubber ). I still can make some other experiments. I have got changes on every try, some better, some worse. Right now is better than last time. I changed the pump for leather kind 2 days ago. A friend of mine told me SPREAD OUT the leather to get a better seal against the walls ( I didn't make that first time I mounted the leather pump kind ) did work, at least better than initially.

I have read manteniance and rebuilt manuals several times, but still don't get some stuff. maybe a technical language issue

and failed on one try on a friend's car

Eric ... blocking or restricting the vent tubes is uNlikely.

But to check-it ... use some clay.
