ShawnW Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Most would say step one, remove carb. Step two: Toss in scrap bin. Install weber carb. I think if you have 1 minor symptom or its just gummed up from sitting its probably worth rebuild kit and time. If its got multiple problems, toss it. Essentially its like any carb. Pull apart and lay it out as you take it apart. Take notes and replace a gasket at a time out of the kit physically matching up each little part. Usually comes with a diagram. Try to get a kit from Subaru if its still available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ontherun987 Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Take it slow and use a camera, I did my first rebuild on my hitchi carb. It's not as bad as it sounds, however I would not touch the electronics. spit and replace gaskets and parts, I still haven't got my choke adjusted correctly:mad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quidam Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 FYI, an ebay auction ended yesterday for a Holley remanufactured carb for your car. $75.00 starts the bidding with free shipping. It had no bids. The auction was reset and it's up again. Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferox Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 The Haynes repair manual found at many auto parts stores has a decent (numbered) step by step for the Hitachi. It's not good for much else, but it goes into detail on the carb rebuild section. I always tell people on their first rebuild, tape each part to a sheet of cardboard or paper with transparent tape as you remove it, and write the part name and step in the rebuild process next to it. Reassembly is basically reverse of disassembly, so if everything is laid out consecutively and labeled it makes reassembly very easy. Getting the float needle seat out of the choke body can be difficult. Use a large screw extractor and it will come out very easily. I just rebuilt the one on my '81 hatch and replaced the vapor canister, and I am now getting over 30 mpg. Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
