Where do you buy a Hitachi carb?
monstaru replied to subieman's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
i guess i have just been lucky all 10 times i have done it.the first one i did was not a hitachi,yet it still went alright.i have rebuilt three hitachi's in the past six months and the only trouble i have had with them is figuring out where to start with the fuel to air ratio.then i looked it up and found that it was like most other carbs i have ran acrossed.two turns out after lightly seated.i am no pro that is for sure.that is just what i have experienced.....thanks, brian -

buy a kit and pay attention to what you are doing.....it is not that hard as long as you lay out your parts in a clean environment and finish in the same day you start...the key is to clean clean clean.and to pay attention to what you are doing.i guess that would be keys...... -

Help with Hitachi Carb idle mixture setting?
monstaru replied to s'ko's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
ifyou don't have a meter, that means,seat the idle mixture screw lightly(all the way in)not tight,but just to where it starts to get tight.then back it off about two whole turns.start the engine,let it get warm ,have someone watching rpms and if you have to have it pass emissions, do not go below around 950 rpms,if you do not ,put it where you want it at.it is a touch and go type of thing.you may get different responses to rpms if you have rebuilt it, cleaned some of it but not all,etc.... -

Where's Waldo??? (Safe At Home!)
monstaru replied to NorthWet's topic in Meet n' Greet. Your USMB Welcome Center
good to hear you are almost there.... -
go to your local j. y. and find an axle without tears in the boots and grab it. it is a gamble that it is a good one , but it is usually even cheaper than redoing both inner and outer.and when you have that one in you have the other one to rebuild at your convenience so that you have an extra just waiting to be installed.i unno, thats what i did and i lucked out with a good axle.cost me 20 bucks. and now i can rebuild my other one without worry.
