bakerman1 Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I originally had a carter carb and went to a junk yard yesterday, pulled off a hitachi intake off a 84? Wagon. Got a redline ea81 weber kit. Put everything together today, I have the electric choke in the front, linkage on pass side and fuel inlet facing rear off car on drivers side. It started right up and sounds really good, a lot better than the carter. Problem I'm having is my throttle cable isn't long enough to reach my linkage??? Was the carter carb linkage shorter than the hitachi? What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brat78 Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Must be because the stock hitachi one fits, at least it did on my gen 1 brat. Rock auto has them I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Are you Using the Accelerator's Cable Bracket? It must be Used along the Accelerator Plate from the Hitachi, on the Weber... if not, the Cable won't Reach properly to Fully Open the Throttle. Kind Regards.

Hitoshi Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I'm doing a weber swap from a weber/carter and it looks like mine is going to be a bit short as well. I'll examine it a little more tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakerman1 Posted July 2, 2012 Author Share Posted July 2, 2012 My problem was the carter throttle cable. It is shorter than the hitachi one. Picked a new throttle cable and all is good Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
