sputnik Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 I ordered a carb for my 1981 Brat from a wrecking yard hotline and I end up with a Carter that this guy swears came from an 81 Brat. There is no way this thing will bolt on. Anybody know anything about these? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeshoup Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 It probably came from like an 81 DL? I'm not sure if BRATs ever got them, but there was a model that came with a single barrel carter-weber carb. Find a Hitachi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. a 2 barrel carter carb was popular on some of the motors used for flying..usually the intake manifold was made to fit this carb on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[HTi]Dain Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 I had a 2barrel Carter Weber on my '82 Brat GL (unless it was only a single barrel...who knows). but yeah, find a Weber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Probably came from an 81 GL - only Gen 1 that came with the EA81. It takes a completely different manifold, but yes he's probably not lying to you. Honest mistake, you just got unlucky. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caboobaroo Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 The '81 GLs came with a Hitachi 2 barrel. The Carter-Weber came starting on the '82s unfortunatly. I had a '83 hatch with one and took me forever to get it running right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahag1978 Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 The '81 GLs came with a Hitachi 2 barrel. The Carter-Weber came starting on the '82s unfortunatly. I had a '83 hatch with one and took me forever to get it running right. A few years back, I called my local dealership looking for tune-up parts for my '78 BRAT and he asked if it had a Hitachi or a Carter-Weber carb. He must have been trying to look smart by tossing names around. Then he said he hates looking at the microfiche to find part numbers and pretty much told me he didn't want to sell parts to me?! The whole car has been rebuilt part by part from various sources. Smart... he ain't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
