...likes to give this Thermoquad "fix it" advice. Get a quart or so of gasoline and a metal bucket. Insert Thermoquad into bucket, douse thermoquad with gasoline. Stand back, light match and toss lit match into aforementioned bucket. Purchase AFB that should've been put on there in the first place.
The last line is actually my own. I've not had troubles with Thermoquads myself, but then I've only owned one and it was just fine though a bit piggish on the fuel consumption in the OEM configuration. I have however owned more than a few AFBs and am rather happy with them. I suspect Thermoquads may be a bit like the Quadrajet, as in, easy to find fault with one when not in top shape/tune. But as I understand it from some very knowledgable people, the Quadrajet is actually a very fine carburetor when setup correctly, *perhaps* the Thermoquad is too.
