Re: Quadrajet carb and poor miledge

Never heard of the silver-soldering on a carb before. Although, JB weld hasn't leaked on any q-jet my dad or I did. My only suggestion would be making sure the casting is completely dried out of any fuel. Adding heat from soldering could be a potential problem. I would hope that a shop you brought it to would understand that, but good ones are hard to find.

Thats why I like the JB weld method. The key is to let it cure throughly before reassembly.

Either way would work though.
