New carb? Used carb? Did you replace the fuel filter at the same time?
Sounds like the accelerator pump isn't doing it's job.
New carb both fuel filters are new and a new fuel pump

Hello everyone. I have an 86 brat that has a Weber conversion. I've tried the carb according to instructions this it is idling fine like it is supposed to but whenever I accelerate from stops it cuts out. If you slowly move the throttle it will not cut out but if you hit it fast it cuts out. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks

I just finished doing a Weber swap on my 86 brat just wondering what to do about my throttle cable bracket. The old one is just barely to far away and my kit did not come with a new one. Just looking for tips and ideas thanks in advance

sorry for the late reply, i have no internet and have been traveling for a while. the oil is bad but not too bad i guess, i will check the sending unit and pump. thanks for the advice everyone. I might get in touch with Idasho later still want to do a rebuild in the future.

So my brat has an oil pressure problem going on. when ever it is in gear the oil pressure gauge tops out. I am pretty sure it has blown some of the gaskets because there is oil all over the bottom of the engine. I am just looking for someone in the moscow pullman lewiston areas that could rebuild it for me, I would love to be able to help and learn as well. I would try to do it my self but I am moving in to an apartment that wont allow me to work on my vehicles in the parking area. Please contact me with your rates and we can work something out. I would really appreciate the help since i relay on the vehicle to get around while my wife has the car. my email is jeremy_lee_miller@yahoo.com. I will be getting a cell phone soon so I will post the number when I get it.

I have found that i like almost every car subaru makes, I used to own a 93 legacy which i sold for my Brat, my brother has owned a few ea 82 wagons and an ea81 wagon, but this will be my first experiance with anything older than the second gens. I go down to California to get it this june, i will have to post op some pics of it when i get it, it is almost entirely rust free. anyways, good luck with your project, i can not wait to see what you do with your Brat, looks good so far, i like what you did with blacking out the lights.

I have never owned a first gen before, the one i am getting used to be my grandfathers, he loved that first gen brats.
-
I think i remember seeing that one go by, yeah the white brat there is mine, i also might be getting a 79 this spring
-
yeah
-
Nice Brat, I can not wait to see how this project turns out.
-
wow, this brat is awesome, can't wait to see how it looks when you are done with it.
-
Wow, that is an awesome build, would love to do something very similar with my brat.
-
great ideas, I am thinking on going the enamel and and bed armor route. I am in the process of removing the old paint and fixing all the rust with Ospho rust converter. then I will be painting. I am also fixing all the rust I can get to on the inside of the bed panels. I am planning this to be as rust proof as it can be.
-
I was thinking of the rustoleum stuff or this stuff i found on amazon

after doing some reading on bed liners I dont think that they are quite what I want to use. any one here know of a good undercoating that will protect the underbody from rust and damage?

The accelerator pump was exactly the problem. I had put in a new diaphragm right before the fuel pump went out last summer and entirely forgot to put the spring back in. It has been over a year sense last I worked on this thing so I far entirely forgotten. Thanks allot for the help she is running great now
