and were should I connect the egr vacuum hose to? the only available port on my weber is the one the distributor goes to?

My engine has 2 egr's, one on each side. both are plugged up and did nothing when I hooked them up. I did get the idle down, it was the cable. Somehow it was too tight even after I adjusted it the first time.

AHHHHHHH! it was the throtte cable. pissed me off, but now thats all well and good. thanks

My idle is too high and the adjuster screw is not even touching the throttle. is this a problem with the electric choke set wrong? runs well now that ive put some time into it but the idle needs to come down from 1500 to 7-900. anything will help

I think Ive gotten all the uneeded vac ports plugged up. One issue it had was the distributor vac hose wasnt going to the carb. runs way better now thats corrected and other ports closed off.I know what the egr does because of replacing one on another vehicle, but I dont know what it looks like on my subaru, and does it need to be operating for it to run correctly? Is there any threads anyone can link on tuning this carb? its the K730 Thanks so much for all the help, you guys are great.

thanks guys for the replies. Nice to see someone from grants pass and seattle, closer to home,Im originally from medford. I had a friend of mine do the carb install because he has done a few of them before. I think I worked out the throttle spring problem, at least for the mean time. there is no great place to anchor the other side of the spring on the intake. the spring is nearly verticle now. It does have idle speed problems with the new carb, I dont know what the "loose lever" is that u guys speak of. I will try and get a few pics up of the setup so maybe it can be pointed out to my ignorance. The vacuum lines, know the one that goes to the distributor needs to be used, but how do I tell what other ones need to be used and which to not. My friend said its best to take the intake off and plug them from under neath to make sure there are no leaks. This idea sounds time consuming but seems like the best way to get rid of vacuum leaks. thoughts on why or why not? how do I tell which are the vacuum ports for brake booster, heater fan blower function selector? Im sure I can figure it out but there is a million of lines on this engine.

I have 4x4 81 gl wagon with the 1.8 liter. new weber carb is is on and was told to take off all the un needed vacuum lines. this means the intake has to come off, but how do you plug the holes after the lines are removed? and the throtte return spring that came with the weber busted after 2 days of driving it. It was a heavy spring, and I put the original on to get home. but now it idles faster than usain bolt, because the throttle bar that is supposed to stop on the adjuster screw is not touching it. Any advice on the throttle situation? and the vacuum lines, has anyone done this before?
