Re: Few questions about my Electric Q-Jet Carb

[quote=caffeineaholic;6118512Does anyone know if these carbs have lead in them? They seem very heavy and soft as if they are made with lead. I have been handling mine a lot and taken it apart numerous times.
Thanks.[/quote]

I doubt very much that there is any lead in the carb.
it is probably some type of pot metal used in the casting of the body and air horn and the base plate seems to be aluminum.
