Idle mixture is at about 1k rpms. It bogs when I put throttle on.

Welcome! I believe for soobs of that era, timing belts should be replaced around 90k, so you're not that far off. Can't wait to hear more and see more pics

Welcome! Can't wait to see pics!

I'm not 100% sure yet. I was also originally thinking some type of light green (not bright like irish green though). But the more I think about it, the more I'd like to redo the original blue. I really like it. I also have an '02 wrx that is the "other red" (I can't think of the name), and I really like that too. Somehow, I like keeping my cars as stock as possible. Regardless, when I do it, there will definitely be pictures posted!!

Thanks for the kind words and for keeping up with my thread I'm about to change out the doors for some less rusty ones. After that, I think it's time for a paint job. I'm really looking forward to doing that.

I bought my brat in Utah from a Usmb board member. I did a lot of searching before I found one in decent shape. Mine is not lifted, and I don't intend to lift her. Gl on your search and keep us updated!

Yep, I'm in New Orleans!

bump? Anyone have any more ideas on this I can try this weekend when I have some time?

what fantastic car! Glad you're here, glad she's in good hands, and looking forward to seeing what you do with her.

ok, I did what both Ivan and Ferox suggested. However, when I took off the fuel inlet, there was no fuel filter/ screen, and thus I could not see if anything was caught in it. I noticed a few screws were slightly lose though, tightened them, and restarted and drove the car. Again, It ran fine until a few minutes after it reached operating temperature, but then started to bog and buck again. The only thing I can think of is that what is malfunctioning must be temperature related. I haven't a clue where to start looking beyond this. Any hints would be much appreciated.

Any Autozone, O'Reilly's...etc. will have a carb rebuild kit. They cost around $20.

Thank you.

Is the window glass for a brat different for 1st and 2nd gens? In other words, if I have glass from a 2nd fen, will it fit a 1st gen? Thanks!

Thanks guys, I"m going to try both of these. I'll post the results.

I have the same issue http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/141160-hitachi-carb-issues-after-partial-rebuild/

Hi all, Recently partially rebuilt and cleaned out the hitachi carb on my '86 brat. Replaced the main gaskets and accelerator pump, which was leaking all over the place. Started her up again, and went around the block a few times. Everything was fine. Later that day, started driving to a destination about 12 miles away. Around the time that she reached operating temperature, she started bogging a little bit (at around 60mph). Within about 15 more minutes of driving, she was bogging and bucking like a bronco at a rodeo (while driving at around 30mph). Any ideas what I might have done that caused this? I took out the emulsion tubes to clean, and suspect I might have put them in backwards. Would that cause these type of symptoms? Only other things I can think of that is that I possibly connected the hoses wrong when I hooked things back up. Thanks in advance!

thanks!

I've got the 'how to keep your Subaru alive', here on my phone in PDF form. SnatchedHatch, do you have an email? I can send it to you there.

Here's the image he has posted with it. Thought it was worth saving for after the cl post goes down.

Did a best of vote too....this is priceless!

Welcome! What kind of soob are you planning to build? Looking forward to seeing pics!

I love living vicariously through you guys!

Where is the smoke coming from? What color is it? How much and how often? Have you noticed any change in the performance of your car? Details can help us help you.

Will a/c from a second gen brat ('82) fit on a first gen ('79)? Are any adaptations required?
