Failed miserably this year....450ppm HCs at cruise. Took it to the downtown emissions guru that I tell everyone else to use. He tweaked it down to where it should have passed and he offered to take it through for me. Since he had two cars waiting behind me I said I'd take it through...Big mistake. They make you get out and run it themselves and when it didn't finish right away, the guy just kept upping the rpm in 2nd. It failed with 172 ppm(limit 170:eek: ) Warren took it through without any changes and it passed. The secret, run it in third at lower rpm, not in second....it passed just fine, just cost me another $15 for the re- test since they only give you one free one. Only one more time and I'll be exempt; I can't wait!:-\

no that was the last time for you i think because my subaru is an 85 and they told me 1 more time after this year.... maybe it differs between were we live

Never mind they changed it

Thanks, I wasn't sure, but now I don't need to worry about it until 2008 and it passed today and it'll pass in 2008...Webers rule!

Hi Ed, congrats on passing. Hey do you know offhand what the winning combination of jets was this time?

My Hatch is due for testing again and this time I'm thinking of putting a 32/36 on it. So after all the effort you've put into getting your Brat's through emmissions, what jets would you recommend for a basically stock weberized EA81? And yes, I'll definitely visit your friend Warren, he's a cool dude.

Man, it is good to live in the boondocks!!! I like my cars to run clean, but I have had my fill over the years with inflexible testing. If I had to put up with that for my herd, I would be bald(er???) and gray(er!!!) and have ulcers by now.

 

Congrats on being legal!

Mike, good to hear from you again. I can look inside the weber and see but I don't know for the life of me what's in there right now. If you can find some of Cameron's old posts on the weber this one was rebuilt/re-jetted by him a long time ago and I think I had to open up the air bleed jets to lean it out a bit when it was on my "hot" engine. I'll try to get you some info on it.

That's why I am thankful that Tennessee does not do emissions testing.

Don't open it up for me Ed, I just thought I'd ask and you might know all to well what it took to get it to pass. And yeah I know there's lots written about Weber jetting on the Weber threads...I'm just too lazy to read all that.

I still have the 38/38 on my car now but never even tried testing it. My trick has been to only license it on off years. Kinda funny way around passing the smog test.

Yeah, Warrens the guru. He got my Brat passed, altho I had to swap carbs in the parking lot.

I'm tempted to see if the Hatch will pass with its Weber. It has a few more years to go, its a 86, and I hate having to get a trip permit everytime I go out wheeling.

Emissions Testing + Trip Permits = Communism

Mike, here's the info you're looking for:

Idaho doesnt have testing.
