No sweat. Might want to check your timing marks on the flywheel and highlight them or enhance them somehow - rescribe them. Most of us have found they fade so much it is impossible to see the marks in revolution.

Lol And this reminds me of what I see in a certain motorcycle board..... Do try to make separate posts per component or other issue. Trying to get carb knowledge on a post that started as a general is limiting your "carb issue" audience you now desire. all good , just offering so you get max responses from Carb gurus and bangers for lack of a better term. Cheers !! Happy Fathers Day to you Dads !!!

Tough to set up that choke. Double, triple check the butterfly. Manual says something like 16 degrees off horizontal. I did a similar re-do like you not soaking parts and using cleaner , gas , and canned air in a truly backyard effort. But I took my time etc like I can see you did. Now my carb isn't horrible but I can see where I needed to put more effort. Next time I'm soaking everything and finding new jets too. I think you are going to be ok with just tweaking and probably don't have to take it out and soak it to at least make it a strong runner again. No carbs in that distributor stock from Danny ? Parts ? Kits ?

Teased !! Needless to say ...... Sexy

I've seen plenty of those side bars and yes they are for the tow bar option.

Let's get serious sometime soon , eh ??

Just learned what I already knew ...... :/ Don't but CHEAP !!!! Chinese crap strut mounts already cracking like I've never seen ever even in the 40+ year old Subarus rotting away.

djcommie , I think. And Maybe another guy has some NOS too - gopherbroke - again I'm not positive but one of those guys bought Danny's old stock which was originally stored leftovers of the Mid-Atlantic distributor for SOA.

I gotta see the video of this!!! B movie in the making !!! Killer Mopeds From Outerspace !!!

Personally I'd flip the 80's wheels to someone who can use them and score a set of flat spokes that were correct for that gen. Sure you can grind or add spacers etc.... Parking brake cables you need ? The guy who has Danny's old stock should have them new.

And if you come across another rear bumper that looks decent let me know , please.

A sweet find for sure ! Paid $350 for mine around spring 2000 I think it was. Still going strong ! See that rounded rear bumper with the stubby end caps? They are particular to the stage 2 1977 4wd wagon and the 78 4wd wagon as well. Not BRATs. Come 1979 they all get the squared type.

I'm really sorry for you. Southwestern CT has changed drastically in the last 40 years but so has the nation. Feel free to give me a try next time you're ready. And best of luck with getting back to enjoying your hobby.

Did you ask for a franchise owner or regional manager and explain and ask if video is available to review? Time gone by now. They're going to tell you they have a three week loop or ??? Etc etc etc Doubt they caught the coin on camera but it might show the employee reaching into the center console which they don't need to do during the course of an oil change. Good luck ! I'm in Bridgeport but do oil changes to full engine swaps generally in Milford. Awful busy but if you care to maybe we can synch up when I'm doing my work. You can pull alongside and we'll have you're oil changed , filter , whatever little things done , and all topped off real easy. Storage / workspace off exit 35 in Milford just off the exit - real easy. I have in stock Subaru oil filters and crush rings I change both every oil change. But synching up with me might mean real early on a Saturday or Sunday. Have a nice weekend !! Paul

Check for mice in the air box , etc. Drain the old oil and while plug is out hand crank as mentioned above. Put in 5w 30. Good regular oil is fine , not going to debate synthetic at this time. You're just getting into this and the price is excellent. Lots of us have spare engines and you can still score one local if you search. But no worries like that. You're enine is probably fine and you're issue will be something like distributor off or bad voltage regulator or alternator etc. Bring it home ! The rest will happen. You'll be happy real soon.

Lots of us have the old spare box of nuts and bolts etc. from our parted Subarus. I'll check mine later today for you. But likely you'll be heli-coiling those holes. Heli coils are great. But since this is regular maintenance for you I suggest to use a Time-cert or equivalent. Then you can simply remove the bolt and re-insert it plenty often like it was new.

Sure will try as I need to attack storage badly. Rubber - The Great Restoration Dilema

Bridgeport guy here - sorry - can't trust these type of shops. Small shop in New Canaan not likely a problem. The shoreline / Post Rd. places are mostly turnstile employees. Homeless shelter and using the work location as a home address , well there may be some indicators ..... So many pawn shops now too. Best of luck. Yes , East Norwalk is still expensive but the pockets of less desirables swelling. And those folks change oil and such.

Anybody actually go this year ?

Used is what I have resorted to. Thanks or the reminder , I need to swap mine for the same reason. And as you probably know already it'll always be on that chewed spot when you are in front of a crowd. Something most morons don't understand and they snicker as if your car is a pos.

You see the finish ? From what I recall you're going I need to improve the top coat. I sincerely hope I'm wrong. I am fortunate ? Enough to have gotten one glass fender about 12 years ago which has an excellent finish that will need minimal work. I'm not sure who made these as it was a random purchase from an unknowlegable source. At this point I might even sell mine this spring when I go through storage. Hopefully one of the buyers of this mentioned lot in Pittsburg come thru.

I think you have my 77-79 and maybe a 72-76?

Not trying to take away from posters business but I don't think he's selling factory service manuals with wiring diagrams in color , which I have and several others I'm sure. Just saw some on eBay cheaper than I'd normally let mine go for. As for harness , I hope he can come through for you. If not one of us might have one.

No rush for me. Good luck with the trailer load.

If I can get mine (77-79 FPM) I'll send it to you. Another member here has another one of mine - ahem - but its in good hands. Maybe he'll see this and help out. Is that your name ? I've seen it spelled three different ways now. "M" ? Molan ? You know, I sent Danny my ff-1 books, so you actually have my book. Danny never got around to getting it back to me. Might be a 360 book too. Hard cover green I think it was. Anyhow , talk soon.
