Ok, I got another phone call from my mechanic. He said he had replaced the hard fuel line up to the carb and now he believes he has stripped out the connection on the front of the carb, so now we have a fuel leak on that connection. He says he can't tap it out...I've been told different by others if he is able to use a bottom tap. Anyhow he has priced a new Quad carb, a little pricey. 800-1200 dollars for the carb...say what!!
He says if he could get a used Quad that he could transfer the parts over to the new (used) carb. My other source of information (80 miles away), is saying get rid of the Quad and go to a new Edlebrock high temp carb replacement, to which he has done on many of old Quad carbed motorhomes. This guy use to work on motorhomes in Colorado and had did upgrades to these old motorhomes all the time in Colorado. Some guidance for someone who is getting a little frustrated with this situation, since I have not yet got to use this coach this year. This mechanic started working on this motorcoach back in March and I'm still getting these kind of calls from him.
