hey guys i just finished my weber swap to fix the problem with my old hitachi. this is in an ea82. Anyway with the old carb the car would have to idle really high to stay running and until it was warm i would have to feather the throttle to keep it alive. now ive got the weber set up properly with the jets specified on this forum. but im still having the same problem it seems. im trying to tune the carb but i cant get it to idle no matter where i have the idle screw set. should i try larger air correctors, could my timing belt have slipped a cog or something? any pointers or suggestions will be a huge help:burnout:

hey guys back again been working alot so haven't had much to work on my sube, but hopefully ill have some extra money to get som projects done. well i was planning on rebuilding my old hitachi, which i still am but just for experience and to have a back up carb. anyway as is most logical im going with the weber swap:banana: now ive got pretty everything together and i just mounted the adapter plate and carb, but ive got a coupe questions. thanks to loyale 2.7 turbo i got the pvc stuff figured out, but i was just wondering about about jets. i got the carb off a buddy toyota 22r should i re-jet it? if so what size combanations have worked best for you guys? also doesmit matter which vacuum line you rout to the weber?

yeah i already pulled the carb, i've got it on a bench in my shop. but yeah you are right they stick out just a bit on the bottom but i didnt think i could get to them. thanks for the info thats a great idea! I'm definitely going to try that tomorrow. so when i take the choke body off i should be able to rotate the choke enough in the carb to get a grip on the back of the bolt? ive been working off a guide that came with the rebuild kit, its a little vague but it shows all the parts and labels them and gives a disassembly order. ive been bagging and labeling all the parts i remove and ive been take notes of my progress so i think i should be ok

i tried the dremal but i just couldnt get the cutting disk down in there. i would be a little worried about welding because its in the carb, maybe a little jb weldon on the tip of a screwdriver?

heres the pic

so i started disassembly today, didnt have too many problems until i got to the choke. i had spryed everything with pb blaster the night before and even gave it a quick spraydown before i tryed to undo the little screws holding it on. the first one broke free just fine but i started the second one and it didnt want to budge. Also because of the tube that enters the at the top of the carb and the angle of the choke, i couldnt get the full head of the driver in the screw. So i guess i got a little over zealous and i ended up striping the screw can you guys think of any other ways to get the screw out other than drilling it? any suggestions will help ill post a picture for refrence. never mind i cant figure out how to upload a picture but ill keep trying

Thanks man I really appreciate it. I'll probably be taking advantage of that I'm a little intimidated haha so many little parts!

Haha you where more successful than me! My driver side wiper would sit just barely above the window making it ineffective, it would just kind of smear the water around. One day i decided i wasnt too lazy to fix it. At first it seemed like it was going to be an easy fix. It was just loose at the base of the wiper so try to tighten it on the stud, the nut doesn't move, so i try to back it off. After some muscle it breaks free and I can adjust the wiper where I want. Then naturally Get the nut back on and tighten it until its nice and snug *** *** *** ***but the wiper is still loose. I try a few more times and still loose, at this point I'm starting to get mad but I decide to try one more time but this time I was really gonna be a macho man and tighten 'er down. And swear not even a quarter turn after it's snug i hear the dreaded POP and my wrench came free I knew had I just broke the mounting stud in the bolt. But lucky for me I just adjusted the passenger wiper to cover the whole window (carefully as to not break this one too!) and it actually worked better than be for so moral of the story is, one good wiper is better than one good one and a really ************ty one haha and you fix something by breaking it... Sometimes***

So I finally found a place to work on my soob. Got the carb pulled yesterday and I plan to start the disassembly and cleaning today. ***This is my first rebuild so I plan to take it slow and be as careful and methodical as I can. Since this is my first rebuild I there anything ***I should watch out for or be especially careful or worried about?*** I can't wait to get this done and get my Subaru back on the road (and off it!) then I can finally start working on custom bumpers and a lift:headbang:

Yeah thats the way I wanna go. It's the best option, I just might have to hold off for awhile, due to lack of a stable work place. Can I still get rid of emmisins crap if I stay the stock hitachi? I'm down in Corvallis

Oh yeah and it's a 86 gl wagon 5 speed dual range

Yesterday my carb finally took the dive. It's been running rough for a while, idling at 2000 rpms, won't stay running until it's warm and has almost zero power in anything under 2000 rpms. I've just been figuring that it's vacuum lines but everything seemed to be connected right, except the egr has been plugged where it pumps into the intake, could this cause problems? or maybe some internal choke problems? Well yesterday while I was driving and my car decided It wanted full throttle... All the time! Anyway I got it home and fiddled with it and everything mechanically seems sound. So I figure now would be a good time to either rebuild the carb or go with the webber option.*** A couple questions I have are: With a rebuild what kind of emissions stuff can I get rid of and simplify things under the hood as much as possible? (I don't have to worry about smog)*** And with the weber I've been hearing a lot of things about the parts and jets being hard to find. Is there any other carb options that would be easy to source parts for and still give me some more much needed power and performance.*** Any help is greatly appreciated!

Type of wrenching: novice, maintenance*** What: anything with an engine! Soobs are my favorite right now though!*** How long: about 4 years*** Other skills: wielding, some metal fab, wheeling (although I have infinite room for improvement!)*** I've been looking on this forum for a while now, you guys have really helped me diagnose some problems(thanks!) not to mention I love to look at all your amazing soobies, hopefully mine will be there soon, it's on it's way! Oh yeah and I have an 85 gl wagon dual range. It wheels way better than I thought it would stock and I can't wait to start upgrading. I'll post some pictures if I can ever figure out how to do it from an iPhone.***Anyway I'm really excited to be apart of the community now:headbang:
