mcbrat Posted December 18, 2010 Author Share Posted December 18, 2010 it drives much nicer now... with the bad bearings before it had sort of a floaty feel like the rear end was just gonna slide away from me on dry pavement... even though I essentially only have use of the first 3 gears, this is still the most fun of my 3 old school soobs to drive regularly.

mcbrat Posted December 18, 2010 Author Share Posted December 18, 2010 You need more engine. EJ It. not worth it too me at the moment... though I already have an adapter... so if someone wants to donate an EJ22 I'd be happy to put it in Grizzly in the spring if it's still viable ....

mcbrat Posted December 20, 2010 Author Share Posted December 20, 2010 so the stereo is fixed up now. turns out the antenna wire was cut. put a new one in, and got all my stations back.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbrat Posted February 9, 2011 Author Share Posted February 9, 2011 I had found a vac leak a couple weeks back that was contributing to the low power on grizzly... but it was still lacking... so tonight I went to swap out to a different weber, and I found that all 4 nuts had loosed that were holding the carb down to the adapter duh... seems that at idle, the carb was sitting there fine and didn't have any vac issues, but when on throttle, it would pull up the base of the carb enough to create a leak.... so for now, I just reseated the carb with some lock washers and made sure it was tight... then swapped out to a different air filter and re-plumbed the PCV lines for the different carb base plate... so we'll see tomorrow how it goes....

bheinen74 Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Wow Mick. The Grizz sure has been keeping you busy. Hope you still have time to do normal other things. What about a spring meetup near DM this March? Glad to hear Grizz is getting some maintenance, just worried about when you will be done with it.

mcbrat Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share Posted February 11, 2011 didn't get to it last night, but tonight I did. got the manual choke installed , and adjusted the idle a bit... had to put a new fuel line on since this one was facing the front and I needed a bit more length... (it didn't have the ports tapped to swap inlet location like my other one....) also recentered the steering wheel... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Abides Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Sounds like its coming along, did you ever think about putting on the pugs from the blue brat to maybe get alittle better MPG on the highway. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben I don't have pugs on the blue brat. those are Genuine Subaru 14" chromed alloys! :cool: I sold the pug 15 alloys I had.... I just used these tires because I had them....

mcbrat Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share Posted February 11, 2011 well, with the recently rebuilt weber (manual choke) it's less sucky on the commute... still can't use 4th gear, but don't have to floor it to keep up anymore (well, at least not after I get the rpms up to around 4k) was cruising at 75 and still had a bit more I could have gone....
