It is the hitachi carb

Is there a way to adjust the float level without taking apart the carb? My subaru is running fuel heavy, i think at about 75% in the little window on the carberator. Or do i need to buy a carb rebuild kit and take it all apart? Thanks!

Hey Guys, My 1983 Subaru GL Wagon is having this same issue. I replaced the rear fuel filter, the front fuel filter, but it has not solved the problem. Did you guys come up with any other solutions for fixing this problem? Thanks!

That would be awesome if you made a video!

Anyone have a good place I should go get/order a headlight for my Subaru GL 1983. It is the far drivers side headlight that went out. It works with the high beams but not on low. Thanks!

I need to replace the alternator on my 1983 subaru GL wagon... Anyone have suggestions on what alternator I should put into it? Engine- EA-81 4-speed

Do you guys run the electric choke or the manual?

I will definitely have to go for a Weber eventually then! I tried to look for a good walk through for the swap and didn't find a good one. Does anyone have a link to where I could go to read up on this swap?

I have tried turning the idle screw. It did increase the idle speed, but it did not decrease idle speed. I am definitely going to start with an oil change and other fluids and just do a general cleanup around the engine and see if that helps. I have also heard that a vacume leak can cause a high idle. Might have to check for a leak some where in the hoses.

Hello, I am new to the forum. I am from Beaverton/Portland Oregon. I just got a 1983 Subaru gl wagon four door. I am hoping to fix it up and turn it into a cool machine. It has high miles, at 190,000. Body is good aside from rust specks on the hood. Interior could use new seats in the front and the dash is cracked. The first problem I have encountered is that the engine after it warms up has a high idle. Up around 2000 rpms. I have a few ideas of what the problem could be after reading other posts on the forum, but I have not found anything that sounds exactly like my problem. The engine also seems to choke and sputter a bit as well. Yesterday it actually just turned all the way off. If anyone has any suggestions on where to start, I would greatly appreciate it!
