May 16, 200520 yr I'm having similar problems even though my carb was rebuilt about 3 weeks ago. I hate carbs.
May 16, 200520 yr The base plate on these carbs tends to warp. Companies not familiar with Subaru carburators will rebuild them warped and that would mean to me that you have an internal vac leak. Their diagnosis is probably correct. Who rebuilt your carbs? Did you have Roobuilders do it? He specializes in Subaru carbs and does fabulous work. Just hard to get a hold of him.
May 16, 200520 yr Author Yup Kerry @roo builders....kerry's a great guy , he told me to ship it back and he'd fix it in no time and pay for the frt......the prob i have now is that the hornet is the only car i have and my left head gasket is now shot i need to get somebody local (seattle) that is good to do the head gasket......PS...anybody wanting to know about ROO bulders let me tell you.....Kerry is a upfront guy 100% ....no b.s..... i'd buy from him again...... spark
May 16, 200520 yr About a month ago, my father rebuilt 3 carbs in one week, one had zero problems, other came back for minor adjustments,(linkage was dried out) but the third it left and was running perfect, the owner called and said it hadn't ran that well in about a year. About 2 weeks later, he called and it wouldn't idle, my father took it apart and 2 times and couldn't get it to run right, even with a different car top. Finally just rebuilt a different carb for him. Carbs can be tough. If the car was running, I would have hoped he would send you out the other carb first if he has an extra so that you can keep your vehicle on the road. But the fact that it has a blown gasket, makes that point void.
May 16, 200520 yr Author it might no just be the internal gasket leak......i think my air suction lines may not be hooked uup right....roo bldrs sent me a new map of my lines i'll ck that out before i send the carb back... spark
