Re: Your thoughts on GQ 4.2 petrol not running well

carb "n" gas at woolloongabba would be the ones to fix it , BUT you will pay through the nose for it .

They are pretty exxey in price but will rebuild the carb , and tune it on the car

They did this with my sisters car and it wasnt cheap from memory
