bratkozo914 Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Hi guys! I am new to this forum and Subaru world. But actually my first car was a Subaru 360....well it was driven by dad when I was a toddler. BTW, this weekend I will finally be able to buy a '79 Brat for myself. I am glad to have found you guys here! Thanks, bk914 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Loyale 2.7 Turbo, Thanks for the welcome message from Honduras! There is a one photo of the 360 & me in his biography that he wrote but I don't have a scanner so I have just asked him to send me some pix. He had 2, one was bought used and other one was a brand new. Bet he really loved that car. I might end up posting 360 photos before my Brat though... Thanks, bk914 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bratkozo914 Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 Hi, Got photos of 360 from my dad. The building behind me and 360 is a theater that is named after a founder of Hitachi, LTD. Are the Hitachi brand carburetors any good? Thanks for looking! bk914 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Thank you for sharing those wonderful photos, I bet that those contain lots of great memories... ... Are the Hitachi brand carburetors any good? ... Hitachi carburetors are Good, while they are New or unmolested for years, But once those get worn or has been "Touched" frequently, They become Craptachi... usually. Kind Regards.

spicypeanut Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Those are some wonderful pictures. I love looking at old photos, mostly to see how things have changed over the years. I know on my Brat, the Weber Carb is supposed to be the go to carb on these early motors. I'm not too familiar with the Subaru 360's but it might be worth looking into if a Weber fits on that motor.

bertmann73 Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 welcome...cant wait to see pics of your brat.....I would dismantle the carb and check the accelerator pump cylinder wall for scratches and pits. sometimes you can hone these lightly with a 2000 grit wet/dry paper given they are not scratched too bad. thats the main thing i look for because if they go bad the carb is toast. also check the base for over-torquing by placing a straight edge of some sort like a ruler to see if it is warped. you can also fix this by sanding the surface flat again. if your not worried about keeping her stock and want power get a weber kit and all your troubles are gone.
