When you remove the hose off vacuum advance should I plug it or just leave it open? When I checked timing today I just removed the hose and didn't plug it. I did clean up the timing area to allow better sight. I will check tomorrow what happens when I plug hose back on while timing. 3rd gear acceleration at 2000 rpm results are just pure sluggish. I rebuilt the carb with new accelerator pump and gaskets. I however didn't replace floats but they did look good and measured right. I also checked to see if gas pumped in when throttle worked. And there was a healthy stream spraying in. I recorded a video of me driving today to show what is going on. youtu.be/_6qs9undipA

Well got car running decent today. Replaced idle mixture screw and idle rpm screw. Bought a timing light and set about timing. Went to loosen bolts for distributor and they were already loose, hmm. Check timing and it was about 15 or so degrees btdc I think. The marks were really rusty and hard to see. Brought it down to about 8 or so and car started behaving a little better. Actually idling about 800-900 rpm. Took for a test drive and much more responsive, but still when I put pedal down, I hear secondaries opening but very slow to accelerate. I think I can get car up to about 50 mph now yay. Still need figure this out before I set it on fire.

I would love to find someone with a carbed GL and take a picture of how the vacuum is hooked up correctly. That diagram is helpful but still kinda confusing.

only thing I could find sorry. http://www.cobbtuning.com/products/shifter-bushings/subaru-5mt-shifter-bushing-pack

Hello, new to the site and hope y'all can help me. I just purchased a dual range 86 Subaru GL for a price I couldn't turn down. Engine idles like a dream, but once rpm's start rising it starts to stumble upon itself causing it to not go over 30 mph. New fuel pump, fuel filter, previous owner said he rebuilt carb. Any tips or ideas on what might be causing problems? Timing? Read something about needle valve in carb clogged possible cause. Any help would be great thanks.
