October 19, 201213 yr That's neat they had a cooler air duct attachment on those too. Never seen that on a US market car.
October 20, 201213 yr That's neat they had a cooler air duct attachment on those too. Never seen that on a US market car. I've never seen that period! Makes me want one (as well as an EA81S)!! Cheers Bennie
October 20, 201213 yr I think the ea82 carb cars had that when they were new, I bet most are broken and gone by now. Would probably be pretty easy to retrofit into an ea81.
October 21, 201213 yr They were standard on the EA82 Carby model in Australia, but the cold air pipe went to the same spot as where the MPFI air cleaner sits in the engine bay. TOONGA
November 2, 201213 yr Author More stuff!! Got the link made as well as a cable spool. now to weld it and powedercoat. and a custom airbox!
November 2, 201213 yr cool. I bet that linkage was fun to dial in. Ive got some old-school carb sync's if you are interested.
November 2, 201213 yr I know, but just getting the linkage sorted out can be a challenge. Have you ever tuned dual carbs before?
November 11, 201213 yr Hey Mark, Having any luck? During the warm weather the "Trasher" would start every time without the choke.Mine has a manual choke setup.Well now that warm weather is just a memory....Its getting harder to start,very hard.Most cars with a manual choke have a pattern to get it started. Pull all the way out and then 2 pumps or something like that..I can't find that with mine.Its like full choke and pump like crazy then push it in a little and hope it catches....and then pray it keeps running as it warms up. so I'm thinking its a fuel problem cause it starts right up when its warm ,by the sun or just by running.All I have ever done to adjust the carbs was just adjust one ...then the other one...And it seems to be ok..till now.You know mabey i just need a tune up or a hotter coil.Is there such a thing? So Mark ,good luck over there in Big Sky Country hope all is well
December 2, 201213 yr If i wasn't so extendent with bills etc at the moment I mite had been kean for some spares kiwi subbie - wondering if you can help me - how rare are those cold air intakes? Would there be one in NZ that could be sent over to Oz with the right arrangement?
December 3, 201213 yr kiwi subbie - wondering if you can help me - how rare are those cold air intakes? Would there be one in NZ that could be sent over to Oz with the right arrangement? Very rare. Never seen one till I got mine. My one the rubber is all cracked from aging and heat etc
January 21, 201313 yr Author progress! I quit one of my jobs so now i have a lot more free time to tinker. The motor is ready to go back into the car, and i am seeing all the parts i am missing. I dont know what the solenoid looking things on the front of the carbs do or how to hook them up, i am missing some return springs, various linkages and flanges, and the whole upper pivot bar. also i have no idea how to hook up the vacuum ports. :-\ I am also starting to think i dont want this motor in my wheeler wagon... not very much low end torque from what i understand.

I can tell you the soleniods are for the idle circuit, they need ignition switched power to turn them on and when the ignition is turned off so do the solenoids. I had one of these motors in an MY wagon and in low range it was very hard to bog ... the only way I could bog it was leave the tyres completely inflated and have the car full of people, and as soon as the tyres were deflated it would dig it self out of the sand with 5 people in the car.

January 21, 201313 yr Boy ,Your talking about duel carbs right?I never had any problems with low end tourqe.If you want I can take some pictures of my set up and you could fab things together..Don't give up. We can start a gang..haha the duel stack club or somethin.....let me know,todd the OSF
January 21, 201313 yr Author ok i will hook the solenoids up to ignition. for the vacuum lines do i just need to hook them all up? and how about the vacuum cylinder thingy on the rear driver side of the motor?
January 22, 201313 yr The vacuum lines just hook up to the manifold..as to that other thing I'll go check it out and get back to ya..have fun.snowing over there? we just have fog..
January 22, 201313 yr progress!! also, i dont have a throttle link for the motor, so i have to make one. had to fab up a bracket to hold the link on the passenger side we've got a powder coating setup at the diesel shop were i work. I love employee perks! and i decided to paint the hood on the wagon too. before after i had to factory order in a xt6 clutch kit so that is a week out. and i should have that throttle link done by the end of this week. Great Job! How is it running? I have a dual carb EA-71 that I just finished. http://s1275.beta.photobucket.com/
January 27, 201313 yr Author Today i put the engine in the car! i will get all the plumbing together tomorrow and see if i can make it run!
February 1, 201313 yr Author Its mostly hooked up and we can run it on brake cleaner! it was hovering around 0 degrees F today and the fuel pump does not want to stay running .
