    1989 Sea Ray 200 BR Interior rebuild and new layout

    Thanks, I would appreciate a look at your seat bases. If possible could you measure the pole. I was considering cutting the springs off the ones I have but I suspect tge pole is shorter on tge pre-made bases without springs.

    I was able to solve the problem. It came to cleaning and reassembling the seat and needle and then bench testing per Cliff's instructions.

    Quadrajet Replacement Options

    Regarding the too high fuel pressure...is it common for the fuel pressure to be fine and then it isn't and goes higher? This engine has a mechanical fuel pump. I assume when they go they drop pressure but that is based on nothing.

    Quadrajet Replacement Options

    A heads up to all, I went to Cliff's. He was super helpful and believes he can get my current Quadrajet back up and running to where it needs to be. He had model specific parts that I needed to resurrect it. I will update when the rebuild is complete and tested.

    Quadrajet Replacement Options

    Thanks all. I personally liked the Q jet. For those wondering, plug and play for me means very little need for additional parts accessories. Tuning is always necessary. Its a carb, it is as much science as a lost art of tuning. My carb is physically damaged. I am debating going the Q jet...
