Guest Dantana Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 (edited) Gents, I have a leak in my Rochester Qjet on the passenger side. Its coming out of a spot thats not a hole but looks like an internal part is set there, the silver circle. Sorry, I am not sure what it is. I will take it apart tonight but in the mean time do any of you have a suggestion on how to stop the leak? No one likes a Car-B-que...I was thinking JB weld or epoxy.Thank you Edited January 18, 2011 by Dantana Forgot to say thank you (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dantana Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 And yes thats a bake lite electrical cap next to it plugging the vac hole. I will fix that as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RivNut Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 (edited) When it becomes necessary to buy parts for this carburetor, be advised it's not a Qjet. Buick put its first Ojet on the Riviera in '66. This carb is a Rochester 4GC (C for choke.) They were used by all GM divisions for a number of years. Jon "The Carb King" reads this site sometimes and can give you really good advice. He owns The Carburetor Shop in Eldon, MO. I replaced the 4GC on my '63 with a Carter AFB a long time ago. The AFB doesn't have any gaskets below the float level; therefore no leaks.Ed Edited January 18, 2011 by RivNut (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dantana Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Ahh, I actually have an AFB at home. I think I will just replace it with that one. Thanks for the reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
