Attractor1 Posted May 23, 2009 Author Share Posted May 23, 2009 Im close to wanting to give up and sell the car.... im just tired of nothing working... and im still confused why the same thing happened with two carbs so im thinking it might not be the carbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'84 Flat-Four Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 (edited) believe me, i understand how you feel! But it's like golf... you hit a hundred bad shots, hate the game, but you hit that one single good swing and it keeps you coming back. Don't give up! It'll be a shame to sell it if it's a simple dead secondary diaphragm that's shot. My guess (and I stress guess) is that the diaphragm for the secondary is shot on both carbs. From what I understand, it is common enough (especially in 20+ year old Soobs) to be seen in two carbs back to back. Rebuild kits don't address the diaphram at all. Post some pics of your carb like Durania said and I'm sure members will have more input to provide than me. Plus pics attract members to posts... DON'T GIVE UP, STAY COOL :cool: Edited May 23, 2009 by '84 Flat-Four Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attractor1 Posted May 23, 2009 Author Share Posted May 23, 2009 (edited) How do i put images on here Edited May 23, 2009 by Attractor1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferox Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 How do i put images on here Click on User CP, then Pictures and Albums, and go from there. If it doesn't make sense then click on FAQ and search "pictures". On the secondary diaphram, have you pulled the diaphram off the carb since you rebuilt it to check for blockage of the vacuum passage or a bad gasket seal?

Attractor1 Posted May 23, 2009 Author Share Posted May 23, 2009 I haven't checked, i replaced the spring though and put the old one back in and it had the same effect for both springs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attractor1 Posted May 24, 2009 Author Share Posted May 24, 2009 But yet it still remains..... There is a dead spot at 2000 rpm... All vacuum lines showed no leaks and i've played with all the adjustments and it still has the dead zone. And i don't want to spend $339 YET!!!!!!!

Attractor1 Posted May 27, 2009 Author Share Posted May 27, 2009 Ordered the Weber. God im gonnaa hate forking over the money but i think i'll be happier eventually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Yeah - the Hitachi's can be a pain to rebuild. It's hard to say what's wrong with the one's you have, but I'm sure a Weber will fix it and the added low-end torque and better throttle response is a bonus. You ordered the adaptor plate as well right? GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attractor1 Posted May 27, 2009 Author Share Posted May 27, 2009 Sure did bought the whole kit and kaboodle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Sure did bought the whole kit and kaboodle Good - where did you get it for $339? I have not see it priced that low before. Perhaps the economy has driven down the prices. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'84 Flat-Four Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 good news,... I was happy to see that you ordered the kit... Doing the swap is sooo easy,... plenty of write-ups and such to reference. You will find that the throttle cable offset and cable bracket will cause you a bit of turmoil, but that's the extent of the troubles.... once you get it set up right, you'll be amazed at how easy it was... good luck and keep us posted...

Attractor1 Posted May 27, 2009 Author Share Posted May 27, 2009 GD: I actually found it for $319 on JT Speed Flat Four: Ya wut do i do with all that extra emissions stuff??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'84 Flat-Four Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 yank it! there's no need for it anymore. You can pick up a box of vacuum caps at the local auto shop and cap all the vacuum lines (don't touch brake vac, of course); run the vac line from the weber to the disty advance port; I suggest keeping the egr and hook it up to the port on the weber; some members have used the Hitachi's forked fuel inlet thingy (same thread as webers) and have kept the fuel return line going; I kept my weber inlet thingy and do not have a fuel return line, your choice I suppose... the quarter trick does wonders for the ASV, btw.

Attractor1 Posted May 29, 2009 Author Share Posted May 29, 2009 So another question.... How can i get more power out of that tiny little EA-81????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 So another question.... How can i get more power out of that tiny little EA-81????? Melt it down and have it recast as an EJ22. It's more expensive than it's worth to do much of anything beyond a carb swap or SPFI swap. Punch out the cat and saw off the muffler. Call it a day. Spend your pennies on an EJ22 and an adaptor plate. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attractor1 Posted June 7, 2009 Author Share Posted June 7, 2009 Okkay.......... What if my accel cable is too short to reach??? and the carb didn't come with any kind of braket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Okkay.......... What if my accel cable is too short to reach??? and the carb didn't come with any kind of braket I've never come across one that was too short - and you do have to make your own bracket. I just modify the stock bracket and bolt it somewhere. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
