ok so i am going over my motor making sure everything is good. ( 87 suabaru dl wagon 1.8L 5 speed)the only thing i really have left is a problem with the carb. as of right now the only way that it will run right is if the choke is almost fully closed. if i open it up and give it gas it will just suck air. i have been meaning to hook a gauge to the fuel line but haven't had time yet. what are some other ideas you guys have?maybe adjust the float??

Perhaps you have a vacuum leak somewhere that is sucking in too much air.
