Good idea, will do mate. Thanks for the reminder.

Hahahaha! No, I was just driving along and it died, tried to start it again and it wouldn't run, then I noticed some smoke coming from the engine and discovered that little mess

Should be 2 wires, 1 short earth and another longer one that goes to a white connector? The wire is easily removed from the connector. I need them intact because my wiring was literally melted out hahahahhaa. Price is more than fine to me. Can you please post some photos?

Appreciate it mate

Hello all, I'm chasing a part for my 1988 Brumby. I've spoken to a heap of people and done some searching to no avail. I believe the part is a Bowl vent valve? Or an idle cut off solenoid(See attached photos). I'm a little unsure which.

Yea it's factory fit, it has the dual thermo's. I'll do the flush when I get home. Any recommendation on a rebuild kit for the Hitachi? Thanks again for your help/patience

Guys thank very much for the advice. I really want to do the swap, though I think at this point it's probably going to be too time consuming. The car is running, it's just not dealing well with the heat here.. I thought it may have popped a head gasket but i've checked the oil and it's clean, checked the exhaust for excess water vapor and it seems ok so it must be thermo, radiator or a fan problem. Probably not a bad idea to replace the lot whilst I rebuild the engine. Is it worth looking for a weber carb? Do they make that much difference? Or just keep the original and put a kit through it?

Hello all, I've bought a Brumby (Obviously an Australian) which is a clean little car. The engine has 365,000km on it and has a few issues. (Overheating, doesn't idle, Air Con doesn't work). So my question is.. Is it worth pulling the EA out and rebuilding it, maybe a few upgrades as well or do i look at a swap for an EJ? A friend of mine is a mechanic who knows Subies well, and is very experienced but I don't think he's done a swap before but is keen to give it a go. Thanks all.

Hello all, Just joined as I've recently bought a Brumby and i'm back in the Subie family. It's a pretty clean little car but it's going to need some mechanical work so i'm sure i'll be annoying the brains trust here in the near future. I was a member or the old GTRYDAZ forum for Forester owners back in the day so I know how enjoyable these forums can be. Looking forward to chatting to you all.

This is great! I'm going to venture down this path soonish as the old girl's original engine isn't well..
