okie bill

Different option oops already posted. Sorry Bill

I'm sure you have thought of this, but whatever you do, Keep track of the original motor. A car with that much history should be kept original or have the ability to be restored to original. Bill

Betcha there have been lots of full sized ones trade hands for less. Bill

Texan, you are exactly correct. The only axle I ever changed, I put together like your drawing, then turned it 180 degrees before installing the pin. Bill

Drill out, tap, Heli-coil and replace 10x1.25 exhaust stud holes... Re-stud (now I have more then one per side ) and install new gaskets using the brass nuts the new stud kit came with.....Now I have Brass nuts Don't they clang when you walk?? Bill

86GL-10 you are my hero. Taking your car apart in the dark with a flashlight to help a board member is above and beyond. Now a question, my Brat doesn't have that spring, but the hill holder is hooked up, and has a pretty substantial looking spring. Shouldn't that be enough? Bill

When you mounted the left blinker did you make a good ground? Are the bulbs all the same? Bill

Did you find your problem? Guy on my MC forum chased one of these for a couple of weeks. Turned out that he had capped his bowl vent. Bill

One question, then I will let this die a natural death. How does a Hitachi carb "wear out"? What goes away that can't be rebuilt? Just curious. Bill

Try pushing in or pulling out slightly on your ignition key. Mine is really picky as far as the chimes go. Haven't gotten as far as the lights yet. Bill

As we say around here "Y'all please don't get in a pissin' contest." I am enjoying both sides of this conversation. Please review the first sentence in this thread. My planned 1st step in improving my Hitachi is to replace it with a Weber:brow: Now according to Bonvo and Dirk in Bonvo's adapter thread over in the historic section, at least some EA61's and EA71's came with 306's with mechanical linkages. Dirk I'm sorry I called you an Aussie Bill

I'm still trying to figure out what I have, remember my motor came in a basket. I'm assuming a 306-XX, where the XX tells me more than the 306. My motor included reman heads which were painted a silver color. The carb is the same color, and the machined flat spot on the float bowl where I assume there should be some numbers has either been painted over or sonic cleaned. No numbers. Is the "race Hitachi" streetable, or does it just want to run flat out? I saw a post by an Aussie talking about a mechanical secondary. Is this a different Hitachi or just different linkage? A small carb is not much of a concern. Look at my age. I got past 1100 double pumpers some years ago. I guess I need a book. Any recommendations?? Oh, and I already have learned something. It's spelled Hitachi:D:D Bill

+1 on wanting to see the Pics. I can't Bill

EvilDead, Info on your photograph? Not the car, the photo. Equipment? Filters? Notice I didn't refer to it as a pic. Did you do that on purpose, or was it an accident? Good photo either way. Bill
