Sweet82 Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 82 Subaru Usually runs rich when first fires up. Blows black smoke on a rev. before it's warm. Used to run fine after warming for a minute. Now it... Cranks fine. Has spark. Has fuel to the front filter. Will not start with starting fluid. Have blocked open choke valve...didn't do anything. Dropped it off at the muffler shop for some custom exhaust raising work and now it... Won't Start? Cleaned the BLACK plugs and got it to attempt to fire for a second. Any thoughts? I'm not having a good Subaru Day! Glenn, 82 SubaruHummer--mad about something. 84 GL--blown emission part. 01 Forester--dented! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subarian Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 I'd start by replacing the plugs. Then you need to tune your carb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wintersubaru Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Did they check the cat to see If its clogged ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tin Soldier Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 I would suggest Tbelts but you don't have em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooziewhatsit Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Did they check the cat to see If its clogged ? that was my initial thought. Drop the exhaust at the headers and see if it will start? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet82 Posted November 29, 2005 Author Share Posted November 29, 2005 They didn't mess with the cat? They re-shaped the end of the Y pipe and a installed higher exhaust line. I'm going to change plugs and see what happens??? I hate working on cars in the cold when it's dark..... Glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet82 Posted December 5, 2005 Author Share Posted December 5, 2005 Even though I cleaned the plugs it wouldn't start...... Over the weekend I finally replaced the plugs... and it fired right up. Thanks Glenn, 82 SubaurHummer--now happy! 84 GL Mad Max 01 Forester--dented not sturred! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
