cd45 Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 I pulled the carb off, cleaned it, now it runs again. The carb had some dirt in the bowl, blew that out, cleaned all holes and passages, it works like a new one. Thanks to everyone here for thier help, you guys rock!!

MorganM Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 Always nice to get an engine fired back up after working on it. Glad to hear it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EA6BMECH Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Question guys, mine is starving for fuel, figure it might be filter. I changed the one on the drivers firewall/wheelwell. No luck. Now the part store sold me 2 filters. Where is the other one?? Or could it be a fuel pump. I had to get it home the other day by keeping it under 2K RPMs. So any suggestions?? '83 1800 GL Wagon 4sp.

Cougar Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 There may be one by the fuel pump. I know some models had two filters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
555Ron Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 2nd fuel pump is near the passenger side rear wheel arch. If you poke your head under the drivers side rear wheel, in front of the wheel... look driectly across and you will find a filter there. This is also where the pump is. There is a guard for the pump so it is a little hidden. A torch will be your ally, use the force and goto it. (this is on my EA82... i think your car will be the same.)

Sweet82 Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Or you could, follow some of the tubes comming out of the tank and you'll find the pump and the first filter together hiding under a plate. Good Luck. Glenn 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesFox Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 2nd fuel filter exists on ea81 models but not on ea82, to clarify things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EA6BMECH Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Hey people thanks!!!! I'll go look. Damn thing about died on me again. Kept is around 2K in 2nd gear to limp it home. Surely don't want to rip the carb off yet. Seems if I let it idle for a minute, I could romp on it for about an 1/8 mile and it started the bucking and jerking. Seems like it's gonna be an OK car when I get the rotors/drums turned and wheels rebalanced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A torch sounds good but "no cigar".... I found it and it was clogged with looked like water. I don't know, it looked milky. Anyhoo, that did the trick. Now for some wire and a coil as you all have suggest in other posts. Vacuume advance is screwed, but gave it a tweak in the advanced direction and I'll go with it for now.
