GENERAL DESCRIPTIO N
The Rochester Quadrajet is a four barrel, two stag e
carburetor of down draft design . It has been proven to
be dependable and a versatile performer as witnessed by
its broad application and usage since its first introduction in 1965 . Modern demands for greater fuel econom y
and improved emission control have resulted in significant refinement of the original design . The Rochester
Quadrajet has evolved to the point of being an efficien t
and sophisticated fuel control device that is right fo r
the times and yet maintains the serviceability that is s o
important to those responsible for vehicle performanc e
and customer satisfaction .
The Quadrajet carburetor has two distinct and separate design stages . Each stage operates to provide a
blend of economical operation and responsive engin e
performance .
The primary side of the carburetor (fuel inlet side )
has two small bores . Each bore contains a triple venturi arrangement equipped with plain tube nozzles . Th e
triple venturi provides excellent fuel atomization an d
delivery in the off idle and part throttle ranges of engin e
operation .
Fuel metering is controlled through the usage of
tapered primary metering rods that are suspended withi n
finely machined metering jets . The metering rods are
moved vertically by engine vacuum control . This is accom plished by the use of a spring-loaded piston and ro d
hanger assembly and results in the control of fuel allowe d
to pass through the metering jets and to the engin e
during low speed and moderate speed operation .
Some models use multiple stage enrichment method s
that may incorporate additional rods, jets and/or powe r
piston arrangements . There are models that have device s
that respond to changes in atmospheric pressure as well .
The objective is to provide a high degree of sensitivit y
to air/fuel mixture control at lower and midrange engin e
speeds . The primary side of the Quadrajet carburetor
has the design features to meet these needs . The individual systems are described in detail later in sections o f
this text .
The secondary side of the Quadrajet has two larger
bores . This increased area, when combined with that o f
the primary side of the carburetor, provides an air de livery capacity that can satisfy a broad range of engin e
operating conditions .
An air valve, positioned above the secondary bores ,
controls the fuel delivery for high demand conditions .
This secondary air valve is connected mechanically to a
pair of secondary metering rods that are tapered and ar e
suspended within a pair of fuel metering orifices . Th e
fuel passing through these secondary orifices is directe d
to a set of delivery nozzles located at the top of each secon dary bore and below the air valve . The fuel flo w
through the nozzles is thereby controlled in direct pro portion to air flowing through the secondary bores .
There are two basic carburetor model designs :
First released in 1965, the 4MV is an automatic chok e
model designed for use with a manifold mounted thermostatic choke coil . The 4MC model also is an automatic
choke carburetor but with the choke thermostatic coi l
located in a choke housing mounted on the side of th e
float bowl . Except for choke systems, all models hav e
basically the same principles of operation (Figure 1) .
First released in 1975, the M4ME models differ fro m
the conventional 4MV-4MC carburetor models in tha t
the "M" prefix designates "modified", indicating th e
primary side is revised to accomodate an adjustabl e
metering rod assembly with filler spool, or aneroid metering rod assembly, where required, and the auxiliar y
power piston assembly (if used) . The aneroid feature is
normally used to achieve altitude compensation in air /
fuel mixtures (designated Models M4MCA-M4MEA )
(Figure 2) .

IDLE SYSTE M
The Quadrajet carburetor idle system is located o n
the primary side (fuel inlet side) of the carburetor t o
supply the correct air/fuel mixture during idle and offidle operation .
The idle system is used during this period because
air flow through the carburetor venturi is not grea t
enough to obtain efficient metering from the main discharge nozzles . The idle system is only used in the tw o
primary bores of the carburetor . Each bore has a separat e
and independent idle circuit (Figure 11) .
The idle system consists of a calibrated idle tube, ai r
bleeds, idle channel restriction, idle mixture discharg e
hole, and idle mixture screws or needles (one for eac h
bore) .

OFF-IDLE OPERATION
As the primary throttle valve is opened from cur b
idle to increase engine speed, additional fuel is needed
to combine with the extra air entering the engine . Thi s
is accomplished by the slotted off-idle discharge port .
As the primary throttle valve opens, it passes by th e
slotted off-idle discharge port, gradually exposing it to
high manifold vacuum . The mixture added from the offidle port mixes with the increasing air flow past th e
opening throttle valve to maintain the required air/fue l
mixture of the engine .
Further opening of the throttle valve increases the ai r
velocity through the carburetor venturi sufficiently t o
cause low pressure at the lower idle air bleed. As a
result, fuel begins to discharge from the lower idle ai r
bleed hole and continues throughout operation of th e
part throttle to wide-open ranges, thereby supplementin g
main discharge nozzle delivery .
The idle mixture screw discharge hole and off idl e
discharge port continue to supply sufficient fuel fo r
engine requirements until air velocity is high enough
in the venturi area to obtain efficient fuel flow from the
main metering system .
The idle system functions in a similar manner in each
carburetor bore.
The secondary throttle valves remain closed during
idle conditions and on some Quadrajet applications the y
are coated with a special graphite material which is
applied at the factory to effectively seal the secondar y
throttle valves in the bores for minimum air flow a t
idle to prevent possible rough idle.
On many exhaust emission control carburetor applications, the idle mixture screw discharge holes have bee n
reduced in size . This was done to prevent a too rich
idle adjustment in the field should the idle mixture screw s
be turned out too far beyond normal idle mixture requirements . Also, starting in 1971, idle screw limite r
caps were added to emission control carburetors to discourage adjustment of the screws in the field . On later
models, the idle mixture screws are sealed to prevent
readjustment from the factory setting in the field .

The off-idle air bleed is adjusted at the factory to maintain very accurate off-idle air/fuel mixture ratios . It is
adjusted during carburetor flow test and no attempt
should be made to readjust in the field . A triangular
spring clamp forced over the vent tube covers the scre w
to protect the adjustment from being tampered with an d
it should not be removed . All service air horns have this
screw preset at the factory.
PURGE PORTIN G
To meet evaporative emission standards on late mode l
Quadrajet applications, fuel vapors from the carburetor float bowl and fuel tank are collected in a vapo r
canister and not vented to atmosphere . On many of these

carburetor models, vacuum ports are located in the
throttle body for canister purge . The purge ports lead
through passages to a tube in the throttle body whic h
connects by a hose to the vapor canister .
The purge ports may consist of a constant (fixed )
canister purge and a separate timed canister purge, o r
a timed canister purge only (Figure 12) .
The purge system operates as follows :

sensitive to air pressure change, automatically eithe r
expands or contracts with changes of altitude to lowe r

POWER SYSTE M
The power system in the Quadrajet carburetor provides extra mixture enrichment to meet power requirements under heavy engine loads and high-speed operation . The richer mixtures are supplied through th e
main metering system in the primary and secondar y
sides of the carburetor (Figure 19) .
The fuel mixture is enriched in the two primary bores
through the power system . This consists of a vacuu m
operated power piston and a spring(s) located in a cylinder connected by a passage to intake manifold vacuum .
The spring(s) under the power piston apply an upwar d
force against manifold vacuum force tending to pull th e
piston downward .
During part throttle and cruising ranges, manifol d
vacuum is sufficient to hold the power piston dow n
against spring force so that the larger diameter of th e
primary metering rod tip is held in the main meterin g
jet orifice to provide leaner mixtures during these period s
of engine operation . However, as the engine load i s
increased to a point where extra mixture enrichment i s
required, the power piston spring force overcomes the
vacuum pull on the power piston and the tapered ti p
of the primary metering rod moves upward in the mai n
metering jet orifice . The smaller diameter of the metering
rod tip allows more fuel to pass through the main metering jet and enrich the fuel mixture to meet the adde d
power requirements . As engine load decreases, the manifold vacuum rises and extra mixture enrichment is n o
longer needed . The higher vacuum pulls downward o n
the power piston against spring force which moves th e
larger diameter of the metering rod into the metering

During acceleration or heavy engine loads when th e
secondary throttle valves are opened, the manifol d
vacuum drops . The spring located in the vacuum diaphragm unit overcomes the vacuum force and move s
the plunger stem outward . This action allows the air
valves to open . The opening rate of the air valves i s
controlled by the calibrated restriction in the vacuum
inlet of the diaphragm cover and the valve closing spring .
The dashpot action, due to this restricted vacuum flow
and spring force, provides the required delay in ai r
valve opening needed until sufficient fuel flows from
the secondary discharge nozzles .

CHOKE SYSTE M
The Quadrajet choke valve is mounted in the air
horn located above the carburetor primary venturi . A
closed choke valve provides the correct air/fuel mixtur e
enrichment to the engine for good cold engine startin g
and when partially open smooth running during th e
warm-up period . The secondary throttle valves, or air
valve on some models, are locked closed until the engine
is thoroughly warm and the choke valve is wide open .
The Model 4MV choke system (Figure 26) consists of
a choke valve, vacuum break diaphragm assembly ,
thermostatic coil-mounted on the intake or exhaust
manifold, fast idle cam, and connecting linkage .
Heat from exhaust gases is used for control of thermostatic coil temperature . Choke operation is controlle d
by a combination of intake manifold vacuum, the off set choke valve, temperature, and throttle position .
The thermostatic coil is calibrated to hold the choke
valve closed when the engine is cold .
The choke system operates as follows :
When the engine is cold, prior to starting, depressin g
the accelerator pedal to the floor opens the carburetor
throttle valves . This allows the fast idle cam followe r
lever to clear the steps on the fast idle cam . At this
point, torque from the thermostatic coil closes the choke
valve and rotates the fast idle cam so that the cam follower lever comes to rest on the highest step of th e
fast idle cam . (This opening of the throttle valves also

SECONDARY THROTTL E
VALVE LOCKOUT
A secondary throttle valve lockout feature is used o n
many Quadrajet models to prevent opening of the secondary throttle valves during cold operation when wide open accelerations could cause possible engine damag e
or excessive wear (Figure 27) . On these applications ,
a lockout lever, located on the float bowl, is weighte d
so that a tang on the lower end of the lever catches a
lock pin on the secondary throttle shaft and keeps th e
secondary throttle valves closed . As the engine warms
up, the choke valve opens and the fast idle cam drops .
When the engine is thoroughly warm, the choke valv e
is wide open and the choke coil pulls the intermediat e
choke lever completely down and the fast idle ca m
drops down so that the cam follower is completely of f
the steps of the cam . As the cam drops the last fe w
degrees, it strikes the secondary lockout lever and pushe s
it away from the secondary valve lockout pin . This
allows the secondary throttle valves to open and operat e
as described under the Power System .
