Default Ouch.

Yes, that needs to be repaired before you try to run that carb any more. Otherwise the grit will work its way thru everything in the carb....

Sorry to see that happen, but these are fifty-year-old parts.

We've had three qjets do this and EVERY ONE was a Carter-manufactured quadrajet. One of them even stripped out the needle and seat threads. I presume lesser quality metal was used when they were made.

When you get it fixed, I'd suggest losing the bronze filter and installed a good paper one instead. My 2 cents.
