# Its leaky fuel bowl. As in nearly all carburetors, the Quadrajet's bowl had pressed-in plugs used to seal holes left after drilling fuel passages during the manufacturing of the carburetor. These plugs in the Q-jet sometimes leaked fuel causing; (a) a cold engine being hard to start, (b) erratic idling, (c) poor fuel mileage, and (d) excessive emissions. Many Quadrajets have their fuel bowl plugs sealed with [[epoxy]] when rebuilt to prevent leaks. | # Its leaky fuel bowl.
