pitscars Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Hi all - I have an 82 sportswagon - EA81 - sometimes - travelling along at say 100kph and I back off on the throttle just a bit - it is as though the motor suddenly makes 10 more horsepower for a few seconds - then back to normal - of course if you TRY and make it do it - it wont - then a few days later - ZOOM - I know the Hitachi carburettor has its mysteries - but this is weird !!! ???

Dee2 Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 have you checked the throttle linkage ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Len Dawg Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 (edited) My ea82 seems to have always done something like that.. 3,000rpm 5th gear. Never a need to floor it ESPACIALLY going up hill.. always at 1/2 throttle lessen it up a smidge and it gets a stronger pull. I've checked anything with intake system connections no cracks no nothing... never ever even taken the throttle bore apart or off the intake.. been this way to over 10yrs.. Not really trting to jack your thread man.. but I'm feeling the way you do lol! Edited July 2, 2018 by Len Dawg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pitscars Posted July 2, 2018 Author Share Posted July 2, 2018 Everything seems to be as it should - funny thing is - if you PUSH on the throttle at 100kph - not a lot happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jono Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Mixture must just be coming on to a power sweet spot. I get this if I have asked too much of too little fuel with my propane systems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
