The idle jets were 50 and 52 air bleeds/ 170/160 (I assume they were not switched up or does it matter?) mains are the only ones i was certain were correct: 140/140 spent $130.00 at advance auto on battery,hoses, thermostat, oil, ect.. still need to find fittings for the pcv hoses and a smaller air filter. Do i just put a 1/2" cap on the egr valve? might try to fire her up on Monday. thanks for all the help. would not have gotten this far without you. Pete

awesome!!! now i get it. Thanks a lot for clearing that up for me. i have always seen pcv valves on the valve cover. im going to now check the mains and air bleeds to see what redline put in. Pete

I took the fitting out. it has two 1/2 inch and one 1/4 inch ports. I don't think someone, before i got the car, put a pcv valve there. When i blow or suck at each of the three ports there is no resistance. Its just a empty fitting without any type of valve inside. What the heck!!!

so from the pcv valve it goes down into the intake at the fitting just to the right of the egr valve.

On the new set up for the pcv, I think i see from your pics there is a third house in the "T" going down from the two vavle cover pcv hoses. Is this correct and if so where is it going? Pete

I told them everything from your post. I assumed there was an even bigger assembly, when i saw how close this one was. I did not understand that it was just an inch smaller filter. Now i have the problem of finding out if they gave me the right jetting. Is it simple to tell? Thanks, Pete

I put my new weber 32/36 in. The air filter seems too tall. It's too close for comfort. the hood hindge is broke(the spot welds have broken) so i have not closed it all the way. Can i get a shorter filter? if so where can i get one. The weber tech line or the redline people say that the 2 5/8 is the correct size for the ea81 but its not working for me. I have looked at some pics of the new pcv routing but not certain where all the hoses are going. I see the single line into air filter and the hoses for each of the valve covers. It appears there is another hose going down from the valve cover lines "T" fitting.

Thanks for the quick responses. I looked at the block and see EA81. I just realized its not an 85 but 86 brat. Does this make a difference? Any ideas where the best place to buy the weber is? Anyone know where the best thread on the install is. thanks, Pete

I just picked up an 85 brat but know little about it. I was told that two mechanics have rebuilt the carb for 150.00 each time but still does not run right and stalls. I have pulled the carb out. I think it is the original hitachi 2 barrel. The only identification i could find on it is DCP306-26 150. I have called 3 subaru dealerships with the vin number of the brat and spoken to carburetor parts people but still not sure what parts / carburetor i need to get this thing running again. What engine do I have? What options are there for my 85 and how do i make sure what part numbers i need to order? I don't see any markings or labels on engine or under the hood? Thanks in advance. I have searched through 10 pages of posts but figured this would be quicker. Im guessing the weber is the way i want to go. Pete
