Cool Re: Q-jet secondary metering rod question

No. All fuel that goes past the secondary metering rods goes out the discharge nozzles under the secondary air valve blades. For any air velocity to occur there, the secondary throttle butterflies in the carb base plate have to be open. If air is passing through the secondary side of the carburetor, the butterflies have to be open, so if your engine is idling and a small air flow can be detected at the secondaries, they must not be seated.Check and see if they are hanging open.
