    I found this video on youtube, and it makes my gut wrench. Surely his methods aren't good. I know I wouldn't want him to touch my carb. What do you guys think- Is he actually doing something worth it, or is he just destroying a perfectly good carb?

    When someone takes a BFH to the choke plate, you can pretty much assume it's a joke.

    He can't work on a carb any better than he can hold a video camera.

    I had no sound, either--but I think that's my computer.

    I wouldn't even want him to look at my car let alone work on it.

    I saw him say the choke plate had to go, (flappy thing), had to drill out the brass thingy, saw all I had to see.
    Has to be a joke because no one can be that stupid.

    That was funny! You could tell from the start the Q-Jet had seen better days, all corroded and grungy. I like how he increased his fuel flow and his cfm :beer Mark

    I laughed untill my sides hurt.... I just gave away several of those carbs....he should have given that carb to someone who would rebuild it....
    Instead of destroying it....

    I don't even want to think about how many quadrajets are going to die a premature death as a result if this insanity. I was hoping that idiot would was going accidently hit his fingers with that hammer :blast:

    I hope he doesn't quit his day job....IF he's even employed.

    Not really all that funny if you consider the needless/mindless destruction of something that hasn't been made in at least 30 years.....Cliff
