as my message kinda described, the q-jet secondaries are opened up on the lower end by linkage, but the top end opens up by vacuum. there is a vacuum diaphram that holds a linkage to keep the top plate of the secondary ports closed, until vacuum drops, then they can open up.


I have been driving my coach for about 8 years now, and It is a great system, and easy to figure out and get information on fixing stuff. 2012 I had my carb rebuilt, and now 6 years later, I probably should go through it again. It does sit idle for 5-6 months because of winter. It is tried and true, however I am now going to seriously look at EFI systems such as atomic and FI-tech, just because I want to get my fuel system better in check as Vapor lock does seem to be more common of a problem. They are starting to get to be more main stream, and tried and proven to work. The big key and from what I have observed on any system, is they all can have some odd issues, and it is nice to have the same systems on many different vehicles as usually you find someone who has had the same problem and worked through the fix before you.

I have helped many people with there gmc, and it is sure nice to be able to compare apples to apples. once in a while I will reach out to someone that has a problem, and they have some obscure modification to there coach that I have no idea what could be wrong.
