    yeah, because timing obviously isn't that important...it's all about that idle mixture!

    Also, if you're saying you pulled the outer ring off the balancer, as in the metal on the outside of the rubber isolater between it and the inner hub, you have successfully destroyed that balancer and It should be replaced. Unless you just like the idea of spinning a main bearing or throwing a rod.

    i got the fix for that. Just cut the same weight off the flywheel in just the right spot and it will balance it right out.

    seen it done before on the shade tree mechanic show.

    well, i didn't pull it off. but it rotated about 1/4" or so counterclockwise and out just a hair.

    And yeah, timing is important.

    But on a Q-jet, if the idle mixture isn't correct, then everything else is screwed up.

    yeah, qjets aren't that difficult, I've had a few of them but no matter how good a qjet is running, they don't like inclines. My suggestion to you is to get TBI or TPI on that motor as soon as possible.

    welll at the moment carb is all i've got.

    And q-jets are supposedly supposed to be the best offroading carb out there. So i'll work with what i've got...which is not that bad...just wish it was tuned right.

    Off road and carbs don't mix... I actually think it's dangerous to a degree, I wouldn't spend anymore money on that carb.

    nope the motorcraft 2100 or the autolite verson is the best carb it can take a 30 degree angle at best.

    fun fact of the day: it turns out that a scout is able to run upside down with fuel injection.

    Dude, I offroaded with a Qjet for a year or so, and my brother did for about two years. I wouldn't trust that pile of **** carb to be a doorstop much less work on angles. It's a smallblock chevy, it's not like it's hard to fuel inject it.
