I have used both the Q jet and the 1406. I love the Q jet. BUT I got sick and tired of changing out the nytrol floats due to the crap alcohol/gas that we have in Colorado. The float will absorb the gas and set low in the bowl allowing the float level to be too high. I tried adjusting the level multiple times with little luck. The 1406 has not had this issue. The 1406 ran good for me out of the box, but I do miss the secondary strong kick in of the Q jet! I wish we could buy real gasoline that the Q jet loves. Good luck.
