January 31, 20215 yr I am going to purchase the carb rebuild kit from rockauto.com. It is made by Standard Motor Products. While I have the carburetor out for a rebuild, what else should I do? Edit 1985 Brat. Edited January 31, 20215 yr by mkoch typo, and then to add more info.
February 1, 20215 yr Throw it as far from the car as you can and replace it with a Weber. I spent a LONG time learning to rebuild the Hitachi's and make them run right. Was a complete waste of effort. For the $300 price of the Weber kit - you can't beat the reliability and performance. It's not even worth looking at a Hitachi. GD
February 1, 20215 yr I agree with the Weber, you will get better millage and more power, on a lifted wagon I managed to get 42mpg following a trailer with a bunch of fence... I miss that one
February 1, 20215 yr what i did with my old webber setup was cut a peice of sheet metal into the oval shape the factory air cleaner has and welded on a couple bolts where the top screws on, gave it a nice stock ish look and i kept the oem filter

GD I Totally Agree. in case you need a guide for retrofitting the Weber on your Subie, ~► here is one for the EA82 is pretty similar to the EA81 engine, being the adaptor plate the main difference. Kind Regards.
