"Hello again, with the spring
"Hello again, with the spring just around the corner I have decided to have my Rochester Quadra jets rebuilt. They were troublesome last summer (flooding etc.) I want to replace the divorced choke along with the carb rebuild.However the choke is frozen in the intake manifold, I tried PB Blaster it didn't help. The treads of the screw are striped. My question is if I remove the carb can I use a map torch on the intake to aid in the removal of the choke. My concern is the fuel line that feeds the carb will not be caped.Can a map torch be used in this area with out the fuel line being caped. If not, is there a cap that can be purchased to place over the copper fuel line."
