About a year ago I was lucky enough to buy a new in box correct number replacement Qjet that Peter Huber was selling. I finally installed it. Drivability is excellent and no sags or flat spots. I only had to reduce the fast idle speed 1/4 turn and add 1/4 turn to the base idle speed. Idle mixtures ran perfect out of the box with factory cal so I did not touch. Pulling the old one, the well plug leak down was evident with pooling on the manifold floor, so morning starts at the campground should now be instant rather than waiting for bowl to fill. Manifold looks fine. That's good news. Time to change oil now that fuel dilution has ended. I think for drivability this is about as close as you can get to being handed the keys at a GMC Motorhome dealership in the 70s.

The leaks at the wells is a common problem on Q jets.
The fix is fairly simple. Drain the carb, blow it out and let it dry in the sun. Clean the well area with a course wire brush then clean with carb cleaner.
Mix a small quantity of quailty 5 min epoxy and completly cover the wells
