We will definitely check these this weekend, I kind of remember smelling unburnt fuel that is what lead me to believe it's running rich and something needs to be adjusted. Thank you for the quick response and info, hopefully we can get it back on the road this week!

Hello all! I've been a huge Subie fan for awhile now and have had several subies myself, 92 Legacy Turbo Wagon, 2007 FXT, 95 Impreza Coupe, 88 DL and my current ones 95 Leggy (Hers), 96 Leggy (Mine) and my 2002 WRX. My brother in law recently picked up a 85 GL Sedan for a commuter car and was wondering if I could help him out on it. We went and test drove it, actually ran great and only 120k miles. He ended up purchasing it and we made the 2 hour drive home. It ran great the whole drive back, cruised perfectly at 65-75 the whole time. When we took our exit off the interstate the car started to bog down and ended up dying. The previous owner was a mechanic and said he did rebuild the carb but it may need to be adjusted. Every Subaru (and car) I've owned has been fuel injected so I do not know anything about carburetors. How hard is it to adjust the carbs and any suggestions on what else could be causing the problem? Thanks in advance!

Thanks! And yea I've learned a lot of stuff already. Aaaanndd just got the new fuel pump in so I actually got to drive the car home last night. As soon as my check comes in I'll be ordering a few parts for it

Thanks! And I'll def be on here whenever work is slow Actually had some time today to start it up, drove it around the block and it seemed to be running great... Cleaned it out a little bit and gave it a bath. Hopefully I'll get a chance to take a better look at it this weekend

Hey I'm Dustin, I currently have a 2002 WRX, 2007 Forester XT and the dealership I'm working for just got a 1988 DL in on trade so I scooped it up too! Currently it needs a fuel pump but I'm def looking forward to fixing it up. It is in really good condition for the year and miles, currently 267k. Any good sites for parts/accessories I should check out??
