Q-jet starting issue

Ben Kallies · 07-30-2007, 05:26 PM

I have a Q-jet on my '71 Corvette Stocker (454/365). Whenever it sits for an extended period of time, the carb will not squirt any fuel. It doesn't matter whether or not the fuel pump is running. So I remove and disassemble the carb, find nothing, reassemble and reinstall the carb and it works fine. This has happened the last 3 times I've let it sit for an extended period. Any ideas? Remedies? Common problem?
