Re: New fuel pump removes carb flat spot ???

That kinda makes sense. The Q-jet doesn't have a very large float bowl, so if the engine draws fuel faster than the pump volume can refill it, you'd get a flat spot. Makes sense!

I just got through doctoring my worn out Q-Jet using Cliff Ruggles book. I also put in new throttle shaft bushings, too. Runs really swell now!
