You wont learn any younger.Get stuck in ,and you will never look back .I built my first engine at 14 and the only one time in the forty three years since that I left a vehicle to a repair shop they screwed it up .In a couple of weeks you will be giving us advice on clutch replacement . Enjoy the experience , Jude

Bob ,You dont need anything extra in your system .I had the same problem on an ea 82 with carb ,I thought I had fried the electronics in the distributor ,but when I followed the manual ,everything worked.I still have the engine and distributor if you want to borrow my dist ,Im in chicago.

Hi Paul, Yes St patrick was Italian (son of a Roman Garrison centurion based on English Welsh border.) Certainly he chased the snakes from Ireland.But where did they go??? All crossed the Atlantic and became Politicians. Happy birthday to the Missus. I still have two spare Ea 81 engines .Will I keep one for You? I have pretty much finished the mechanical installation of the Ea 81 ,put a chevy Denso starter on it (Sitting on the engine ),Suzuki alternator ,twin Mikuni carbs on tube intake ,nissan rad ,made new engine mount but cant go flying until the whole airframe is repainted ,new glass and covering .No rush ,it only took me 35 years to get this far .Will put up some pictures as soon as I figure out how to work a digital camera . Regards Jude

(Crazy Idea thread) What'll happen if...
breaffyaviation replied to fbh's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Made a plate to fit over the head opening .Drilled a inch and a quarter hole for the intake.Drilled a oval shaped hole for the coolant .Brazed my intake pipe and coolant stubs to the plate. Link the coolant pipes and tee off for thermostat and top hose.Took a few hours.Sorry I dont know how to post pictures ,wrong generation. Jude -

You need a single control rod between the two carbs for throttle,then balance your carbs.You also need to link the inlets on both sides with a small hose to balance the vacuum. If you tee your brakes off this balancing pipe it will equalize when the brakes are applied.I have two mikuni carbs with separate manifolds but only a quarter inch balance pipe ,since I dont need the brake pipe on a plane.If you are going to do this why not go the whole hog and lose the hitachis ,put a couple of webers on there.

what is this carb
breaffyaviation replied to 7point62fmj's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Just as a matter of general interest to a lot of people on this board who are looking for weber carbs. The 32/36 are getting rare in US .However these are still in common use on lots of european cars used exclusively in Europe.Go into Ebay ,scroll down to Ebay U. K .and there are usually webers of all descriptions.Remember ,parts off UK cars are likely to be way better maintained than U S cars as standards are a lot tougher.(Any perforation through the sheet metal within one foot of a structural part puts your car off the road).Only down side is that mailing costs to the Us are a killer.

Tilt Guage???

You will find them on Ebay for about twenty bucks made for a Jeep..They are listed as "clinometer". Daihatsu and Mitsubishi made the nice though,all in one ball with up and down and left to right and even showed your G force.This one can be used as a poormans attitude indicator in a plane.
