GeneralDisorder,

From reading your posts you seem to be quite well versed in all things Subaru. I'd like to ask your advice on my car. I have an 84 GL 4X4 Hatchback, 1800 ea81 with a hitachi 2-barrel. I just got it running after having the heads rebuilt, and rebuilding the carb myself. It seems to run well but failed emmissions due to high HC (4.48GPM / limit 3.0) and CO (39.32GPM / limit 30.0) readings. After draining the gas and replacing with E85 fuel it failed the retest as well. The readings were: HC - 11.729 (more than twice the first test) and CO - 3.026 (36GPM dropoff and well below limit) Apparently I still have to much unburned fuel. As far as I've read the only adjustment is the idle air/fuel mixture. Can u offer any advice on what I might look for to get the HC readings down? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Brad
