I have been doing a lot of searching about rebuilding my stock hitachi. I know that webber is much easier to maintain, but I can't afford to make the swap and I still have emission to pass.

 

Is it possible to rebuild a hitachi?

 

How hard is it to tune?

 

Where do I find new vacuum line?

any tips and advice

Webers are not "easier to maintain".No maintenece required on either.

Crappy airfilter on the Webers.No carb pre-heat.

 

Of course you can rebuild a Hitachi.

 

Not sure what you mean by "tune".

Subaru has already tuned it for you.Easy.

If you mean adjust the idle mixture and speed,it is the same as any other carb.

 

Buy vacuum line at any autoparts store.

 

Careful attention to detail is required when rebuilding any carb.

Fair bit more difficult than the grunty type mechanical repairs.

 

Don`t bother if the throttle shaft has lots of play.

 

My 4 cents.
