Got the carb all put back together. That was fun and not as difficult as I thought it would be. Tomorrow I will be re-installing onto the car and Hopefully everything works right =)

Spotted a second gen brat at johns market in sw Portland! Hi!!!

Nice! We are trying to move into a house with a garage next month too. It will help with the BRAT progress! Can't wait to see your rig all set up

Any progress? Still want pictures!

Lol phone typing

would you say the b12 stuff would be fine? I hate to be cheap but I don't really want to spend the $30 on the dip if what I have will work fine if that means I just have to scrub a little harder.

So last night I got it all taken apart but got held up because I need to get the cleaner. What would you recommend? I have the b12 carb spray but was told I should probably soak it in Berryman/Chem Dip carb and parts cleaner. Thoughts?

Welcome!

So I can't get happy with how he's running so I decided to do the most logical thing and rip her apart and clean her up. Carb rebuild by Kevin Talley, on Flickr

I'm leaving from SW Portland/Beaverton over by the alpenrose dairy. Lets cruise out to the meet together!

Nice! Look forward to meeting everyone!

Ha yea I just actually read about that and changed it back with a new hose and original valve! Thanks for the heads up!

Hey thanks for the words! I have a chiltons repair manual a chlymer repair manual and I found a .pdf of the "how to keep your subaru alive" online somewhere that is downloaded to my phone and iTunes. I am having a blast learning on this rig and have learned probably 100% more about cars than I knew before purchasing it. Glad to have stumbled upon this site as we all know there is a lot of great information to be had and shared here.

Pretty sure this is yours!

So I got home successfully. It looks like my fix worked So I drove out to Auto zone and got a solid hose for the brake booster as the old one was 2 hoses attached together. Now that the line is attached to the correct valve and a solid hose I feel a slight increase in braking power! So I am excited about this. While I was at the store I decided to get a new air filter and went with an STP as they didn't have a K&N in stock for my model. I also bought some Seafom Spray from a recommendation from one of the guys at the store and I have seen people talk about how awesome it is on here a lot. I will be tinkering around with it in the morning! [/url] by Kevin Talley, on Flickr by Kevin Talley, on Flickr

So at lunch today I put the brake booster line on the right valve port it was plugged into the egr valve. I then capped off the anti-after burning valve and the egr valve and it runs pretty normal. Hopefully at least well enough to get me home tonight.

Ok well let me know if you need it. I work in NW Portland and love in sw and travel to Beaverton daily.

It was like $10 shipped. Honestly I don't need it so if you make the trip to pick it up its yours no charge

Nice you snagged the one in Oregon city!? There's videos of that thing on YouTube. I tried to get the guy to sell me the roof rack/roll bar

Do you have the rebuild kit for the carb? I have an extra one I got off Rockauto.com it's yours for what i paid for it if you need it.

ha no tow bill here...Luckily I work at a space that has plenty of parking and is fairly secure. and yeah I plan on putting clamps on. I should have in the first place but ya live and learn right?

Well to be honest the one I had to plug the other day did not have a clamp. It does now. The reason I didn't clamp it is because the gent at the auto parts store told me I shouldn't have to worry about it because it is creating a vacuum and will be sucking in. So I guess another question is why would they be blowing off during acceleration? The other did not either but was on pretty tight..obviously not tight enough and will get a clamp tomorrow when I get back to work.
