Can anyone recommend a supplier for rebuilt Rochester Quadrajet carburetors. One of my 1987 270 Crusaders is in need. Thanks.
 
I have one I rebuilt within the past year off one my 270 Crusaders. It ran well but I went ahead and replaced both mine with the Edlebrock 1409s. You can have if you want to pay shipping...
 
Jamie: Thanks! I just sent you an email. I may be reached at itscapt (at) hotmail (dotcom). Thanks again. J
 
For others' reference, there is a site called nationalcaburetors dot com that advertises rebuilt marine Quadrajets.
 
Also FYI Edelbrock is the new Quadrajet. I think they bought up the old Rochester castings, tooling.

I bought a couple from them a few years ago before I repowered. They were real crap. They stand behind them, but you still have to send them back and wait for another one.
 
flyingfish carburetors

They send you a rebuilt one and you send them your old one back in the same box. They pay the shipping and send a shipping label with the rebuilt carb.

Very easy.
 
jStokes,

Not sure where you are in Georgia but Robert Dollar of Dollar auto parts in Gainesville, Ga has a great Q Jet carb rebuild bench facility in house. He can probably source a new one or make your old one as good as new. I had a few rebuilt Quadra jets and no one did it right until I got to them. They really did it right....
 
Jlee: Thanks for the tip re the Gainesville Q-jet shop. I'm in Augusta, but UPS can make his shop next-door for me. J
 
UPDATE: I bolted up the take-out Quadrajet that Jamie so generously gave me today and the engine fired right up. After just a little tinkering with the linkage, it's running better than it has in years. Thanks to all for your ideas and info, and especially to Jamie who has me back on the water again!
 
John,
It was my pleasure to help out. Hope it gives you some more pleasure time out on the water!
 
Ahh this is why I like the forum so much, Boaters helping boaters...
 
That was very nice of you Jamie.

Glad to hear it's running better John!
