March 15, 200719 yr i dont know what the hell to do....the idle adjuster doesnt work....the middle of the carb has a leak causing it to not idle, !!!!!!!!!!! and the people at webercarbureters.com are really unreliable!
March 15, 200719 yr I take it that your working on a weber? If the idle speed screw is not providing a response, the carb is running too rich. Is the leak external or internal? It sounds like it's internal(leaking into the engine). I have found that most of the companies that sell Webers, just sell them and don't have any real knowledge of how to set them up or adjust them. Get a rebuild kit, or wing it and just take it apart to fix the leak. Probably the main center gasket. Is the carb new? Maybe it wasn't put together correctly. If so, try to return it for a new one.
March 15, 200719 yr Author no im working with the stupid hitachi and i need a weber...almost gots the money:rolleyes:
March 15, 200719 yr If you have the money for a weber from them, go get an SPFI setup. You won't regret it GD
March 17, 200719 yr Didn't you know? Carburetor is a French word meaning "Leave it alone"! Emily http://www.ccrengines.com
March 17, 200719 yr no im working with the stupid hitachi and i need a weber...almost gots the money:rolleyes: That´s Why... Trully I Hate Craptachi Carbs too... :-\ ...Well a Weber is Light Years Away in Simplicity and Goodness from the Hitachi... but be Careful with your State´s Law ´bout Smog... Spfi is a Good Choice too... I Choose Weber ´cos I wanted to keep things Simple... Maybe You can obtain a Good Used Weber from a Junk Yard... Good Luck!
March 17, 200719 yr if You want a Weber, be Sure that you Obtain the 32/36 ... Other Models, Like the 38/38 are just More Gasoline Eaters...
March 17, 200719 yr If you have the money for a weber from them, go get an SPFI setup. You won't regret it GD is the SPFI swap really all that difficult? i'm pretty handy w/tools and been considering a weber for my '84 wagon.
March 17, 200719 yr isn´t Much Difficult, but the Wires, Harness, etc... Makes it More Complicated...
March 17, 200719 yr Author im aware of what weber to get and the FI but heres something you dont know.........NOBODY in my family is a mechanic, im teaching myself everything(except my cousin jibs) i would like todo FI or get rid of the Damned Ea81 and get an EJ22 but i just am not smart enough yet.:-\
March 18, 200719 yr is the SPFI swap really all that difficult? i'm pretty handy w/tools and been considering a weber for my '84 wagon. Read my write up: http://home.comcast.net/~trilinear/EA81_SPFI.html GD
March 18, 200719 yr Author Read my write up: http://home.comcast.net/~trilinear/EA81_SPFI.html GD i read it GD and i still think im not ready for it....i could do everything but the ECU codes and wiring
March 19, 200719 yr Don't sell yourself too short, 90% of being able to do it is having the guts to jump in. However, half of the remaining 10% IS having experience, and the other half is having people around to help you... if you are fifteen, and have no family into cars at all, then the fact that you've made it this far is impressive enough. Don't forget that wou can obtain all of your parts, and then spend 20 minutes a day slowly and carefully putting your wiring harness in the right shape, if you want. GD made that write up with the idea of making the entire project low-impact...
March 19, 200719 yr If you have the money for a weber from them, go get an SPFI setup. You won't regret it GD I've had 7 EA82's with Hitachi's and I can tell you my first experience with SPFI made a believer out of me! EVERYTHING is better, starts, accelleration, mileage, and a nice rock solid smooth idle.
March 19, 200719 yr Read my write up: http://home.comcast.net/~trilinear/EA81_SPFI.html GD What a Nice & Well Done Write Up!!!
March 19, 200719 yr If you get the stuff to do whichever swap or just any work on your wagon, give me a call and I'll come help you out. I may not have done everything, but I have been able to do quite a bit without any experience. First time doing timing belts, clutch, wheel bearings, etc was done on my wagon and she's still purring like a kitten and drives awesome.
March 19, 200719 yr Author Possibly a Mini Wrench-Fest brewing? i always want someone to come wheelin but nobody ever wants to.....call me people!!!!!! 527 2029
