Sorry for the delay. My old workshop computer seems to have given up the ghost. I need to buy a new HDD and then recover all the old info off the old drives.

Looks perfect. It's from a gen1 ser1 legacy. I will dig up the wiring diagram and let you know.

Check for power going to the carburetor when the engine is running, it needs this to warm up the electric choke. Without this power the choke butterfly will stay shut and over fuel the engine and it needs more air (hence why you need to hold you foot flat) to start. There are a few rebuild kits available for these carburetors but they are very finicky to do correctly. My suggestion would be to pay a specialist to do it for you. But you may not need to do this if it's just a power issue. Grab yourself a copy of the EA81 workshop manual, this should also give you some points of interest in fault finding and should also have a wiring diagram in it.

No probs mate, it's only a guide to show you what the ecu numbers look like. I'll need your ecu number to get the correct wiring details for your loom. 4 yellow plugs only gives me half the info, which it's gen1 legacy but I'll need the number to determine if it's series 1 or 2. If you could post up a picture of your ecu, we should be able to help you out. As for your question, nah bud, there is a lot more needed. My best suggestion is to nail the loom (not through the wiring of course) and then remove all of the black convoluted tubing to expose all the wiring. Here are some pics of one loom we did many years ago

Yeah Jonno, please don't interrupt our conversation without saying breaker, breaker.. :-) As for the tool, I brought my snap-on socket about 20 years ago but they no longer do them. I did however find this one on fleabay... https://www.ebay.com.au/p/1606270717 Not 100% sure what the factory designed correct torque settings are for these bolts but they cannot be too much, as the head of these bolts are quite small. I did spray some forch black magic in there and left it overnight but this did not seem to help. When the head broke off, I had to turn to the angle grinder. I did use a breaker bar but pretty sure you'd get away with just a good quality ratchet wrench. The really sad thing is I've replaced, rebuilt and custom built so many Subies but nowdays, there isn't much memory stored away. I was very happy to see Andrew and the team have managed to get the aussie subie site back up and running, cause there is so much info on there.

Sorry don't have my own photo for you but this is one I've found on the web to give you an idea of the numbers needed. Also can you please tell us if it has 3 or 4 yellow connectors.

Definitely reseal the oil pump and pay close attention to the spindle shaft that comes out front of the pump. Check for any wear where the front oil pump shaft seal sits and if the wear groove is too much, then I'd recommend replacing the oil pump gears.

12, 13 & 14 look like the connectors that go to the engine bay fuse box. I'd definitely grab a copy of the ecu wiring diagram and follow that. Have you got the ecu number? We might be able to source the correct ecu pinout from that number.

Thanks Bennie, I've pulled apart a standard diff and I can use one of those in my lsd. You are correct, they are both RH threaded bolts, I'm guessing that I put too much force on one of them. As for your earlier question, can you call me (my number ends with 350) because I'm not sure what type of output shafts you are looking for. Cheers, Paul

Sorry, no pm from you Teamemdor

Hi all, I'm looking for a good pair of door window weather strips for my 78 Brat. Does anyone have some available or know where I can buy some. I'd love to buy new but pretty sure I've missed the boat on these. Many thanks, Paul

There is a few ways to do this but if you put the EA shaft next to the EJ shaft and have a look at the inner CV joint, you might be able to swap parts over. I've used the EA inner CV race inside the EJ inner CV cup before and other times I've had to use the complete inner CV joint on the EA shaft. I've also brought new inner CV joints from the EA82 EFI 25 spline model and fitted them to the EA81 shafts. Hope this can help and let us know how you go.

Yep, centre bearing stays in the same spot for the same year/models but changes for different EA and EJ models and because you do not already have a mounting spot for the centre bearing, then you just need to make up the correct length and then add the centre bearing mount afterwards

Hey Bennie, Thanks bud. I would have called you back but it was 2130 when I found my phone still in my car. I will message you today and we will chat when both of us are free. Cheers, Paul p.s. here's a pic of the bolt I removed

Cogs working overtime in empty space.... If you are using 2 piece propulsion shaft and making a centre bearing mount, then mix and match EJ auto and EA82 shafts. 99% sure this is what was used in Toonga's Brumby when we fitted the AWD EJ 5spd box behind his carburettorred EJ20 SOHC setup.
