Nice lookin RS! The dangly icicle plant look neat too! Steve

Yeah, this is the coldest year of the decade.... I demand Al Gore stands up and applogosies for the global hysteria he caused with his kindergarden graph that went up into the clouds to greet the giants.....

Might have to partake in both a hurricane AND a hand-grenade (frozen of course!)

There is actually a White Brat under all that snow

Hurrah to sluthing Boo to bugs Steve

Like a chimney - will do that till the water boils out.... Steve

De nada.... Just keep everyone posted on how your strip-down adventure goes Steve

. https://www.1stsubaruparts.com/partscat.html . Part# Lookup . Search by Factory Part Number . 497001900 (Make: Subaru (duh!)) Also, this is the path to follow in the catalog for a different car: Fuel system - Fuel induction - Carburetor - Overhaul kit - Overhaul kit Steve

But does it come in a collectors items "Genuine Subaru Parts" box?

So all I need now is a Melon with a sliced off head... Did you use a hack saw for that or a regular old Kitchen knife? :grin: Thanks all, I will get to it when I get back from (another) evacuation Steve

Anyone got any advice/tips??? Steve

An update.... This problem re-occured so I blocked off the EGR completely. Still had problems. I'd forgotten this had happened before. Symptoms start off infrequent and progressively get worse. I pulled the carb off today, lo-and-behold... The old coolant getting past the gasket problem. (Should have remembered from last time but I've had to fix so much stuff lately it slipped my mind). I had put a custom cut gasket below the spacer and the felpro one above the spacer... The only thing I did (as an experiment if I remember rightly) was to NOT cut out the hole for the coolant passage to see if this would completely seal it off. I guess it didn't because water gradually made its way under the gasket and into the intake. Maybe if I'd tightened those front two carb mounting bolts a little tighter?????.... Anyway, cut out two new gaskets today (with coolant holes this time!) and installed a recon carb that came with the car (only had 1 choke pull off compared to the original). Will reply back if I have any more problems but that should fix the stall on idle problem - for now at least, until the water gets past those gaskets again Steve

Will measure up all the distances and tolerances and pm you... Can you buy these online new or do you need to use one from a JY? Steve

Cheerz! Definately clean that EGR by soaking the inside passages with carb cleaner and scrape out the gunk with a screw driver. My cars "stall on idle" problem cleared up after taking care of mine today.... GD... Can you "manufacture" one for me?!? ! I don't have a welder and am willing to pay I figured the EA82's were SPFI and had the electronic air-bypass solenoid???? Steve

Thanks for advice all, it was the EGR. Cleaned it up today and popped it back on with a new gasket and all is wonderful and smooth again. (I can't even tell the engine is running when the A/C is on because that is the load configuration where I have the idle speed set to 800). Hurrah for 200k service, new motor and tranny mounts Steve

Unforch the FSM isn't much help for A/C photos. They have a diagram of the vacuum system and the wiring circuit but no photos of the physical equipment because all A/C systems were installed at the dealers and can be of two or three types. Anyways, Here is a pic of it on (It pulls back a lever that is presently on another carb). Here is a pic of it off: It connects via a vacuum line to a vacuum switch near the bank of relays in front of the passenger side strut tower. Steve

Hey Connie, If your A/C idle-up acuator works I'll take it! I'd even buy the whole system as backup for mine of you want... I can even give you the lighter A/C bracket from my other Brat.. Don't know if it will fit the XT6 alt though... Steve

Good news :headbang: Woudln't hurt to send some fuel system cleaner through it now.. Steve

Lookin nice and new again Watch for that woodruff key when you pull off the main pulley - I left mine out and it caused timing issues :-\ Steve

I'd clean up your EGR valve while the intake's off... I just started having idle issues that may be caused by mine sticking... http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=90121 Steve

Cheers all, Drugh - I wish the EA81 was computer controlled. I'm gonna do the SPFI swap when I find a good donor. The older subes are purely mechanical with most actuators driven by vacuum, not a computer. Thanks tho. Spiff - the one thing I did check was take off the air cleaner cover and make sure the choke plate was in its diagonal position - which it was. Maybe not all the way closed though..... GD - I'll have a peek inside. I know I'm gonna havta drill out the rivets and screw the cover back on so that was gonna be my last test Miles - I will check the EGR - definately haven't cleaned that sucker up - should have done that when I had my engine out - live and learn... Steve

Just started experiencing this the other day... Faulty fuel pump? Vac leak? Bad coil? Is strange that it will idle fine when warm, but you need foot on gas (only at 1000rpm) to stop it quitting on idle until then? Any off-the-bat suggestions before I delve into a mass of troubleshooting techniques? Steve

Dunno about flywheels but one piece of advice I can offer from pulling, restoring and replacing my EA81... Take the oil dispstick out! I have snapped the two I own. They can easily get caught when jostling around the engine bay - especially when you're trying to get the engine lined back up to the tranny.... Have fun with the cleaning Its good to see the shine come through... A brass wire wheel on a drill does wonders to remove the tough stains after you have cleaned off the loose crusted oil and wet slime with engine cleaner. In fact I used a regular wire brush to clean off the crusty stuff with a newspaper underneath to catch it all. Then I used engine cleaner to clean up the brush. Looks like the caked on oil has preserved a lot of your exterior components - they'll come out looking sweet when spruced up. Have you got a car parts cleaner??? Cheap at Harbour Freight.... and worth there weight in gold - if you have space in your garage... I store things on top of it when mine's not in use. Steve

Read it. Mentions you know how to use one. You need to do that first. Steve
