Ok... this Hitachi has to go! Where is the best place to pick up this conversion kit thing? The best price I can find is $299.95+shipping. And thanks for the help guys, this thing is nowhere near what i'm used to in the south. But I like a challenge.

So umm.... where would i find this "accelerator pump"? as in where can i find a new one or replacement parts.

Ok soo... Found the original and fashioned a cap using it and a piece of high temp PVC. Also, instead of starting a new thread... I do have some other problems you could advise me on. Here is the issue. The engine will start, and it will idle (sometimes for 5 minutes, sometimes 30 seconds). When I apply throttle, instead of the RPM's rising with a vroom.... if putts out and dies. I had thought it was the fuel pump, so I replaced that... still didn't fix. Thought the fuel pump may not be receiving power since when i turn the key till just before it starts it doesn't "whirr up" so i replaced the voltage regulator... this is getting mildly frustrating... any ideas?

nope, that's it. I had hoped it would be that simple. Thanks alot! If there's amythimg else i run into i'll let you know... BTW what works to plug the hole that the valve was in, to keep fluid from coming out. (say i had an overzealous friend that may have lost said part) I have a rubber cork in there right now, but i don't expect it to hold to long...

ok guys, hope you can help me on this one. This is my first Roo (1981 GL 4X4) and i'm trying to get her up to running status. This is what is got, I recently discovered I have a broken temperature valve assembly. How critical are these to the engines operation... or is there a way I can bypass/remove this piece?
