Q-Jet Secondary Lockout Not Disengaging

[axisg]

yup what he said. Choke needs to be off 100% before it will let the secondaries engage. 1st mod to all my carbs is to ditch that damn latch

How's this?-

Works fine as long as I hold the choke down.

get a 12 volt source, put the ground on the carb and power to the tab on the choke, give it a few minutes and that will pull the choke off and the secondaries will be free.

That's what I'll do, thanks again Steve.

Well I certainly appreciate it. YouTube videos will only get you so far when you have specific questions like these. I'm sure I'll have more for you eventually.

Choke has to be 100% off and check to see if it moves with throttle open and check thermostat off of carb. Maybe housing screw to tight...Bind in linkage..
