    The last time I touched a Rochester Quadrajet was in high school...(25 yrs ago)
    My friend is having issues with the carb in his boat, so I'm the lucky one to rebuild it. I've done many Holleys, so I'm not really worried. But I thought I'd ask if anyone has any tips or tricks??
    The boat is a 1982 Chris Craft Scorpion, and it's never been touched, other than plugs, wires, filters and oil changes...Very low hrs.

    Make sure the rebuild kit is for a marine application... Epoxy the softplugs on the underside of the carb body (you will see em when you remove the base plate)
    Have fun!!!

    Oh yeah, we gave the speed shop the Mercruiser number off the tag. I told them to get the deluxe kit, and float.
