Update: After carburetor rebuild and some tinkering, removed the giant mess of factory vacuum lines and simplified the vacuum system temporarily to troubleshoot my running issues. I was able to drive it around the block a couple of times using a fuel tank mounted remotely with gravity feed, because the fuel pump is not picking up. I just purchased a E8016S Airtex fuel pump and a set of filters to replace all at once. My main issue has been uncontrollable idle which seems to be from removing the duty solenoids (feedback carb) and a vacuum leak. I discovered after some more investigating, the throttle shafts in the carburetor are leaking fuel while not running and sucking in air while running . Will be ordering a Weber conversion, re-ring kit, and possibly a water pump and oil pump! So in the meantime I did a compression test. Results as follows; Cyl. 1 168PSI, Cyl. 2 145PSI, Cyl. 3 168PSI, Cyl. 4 155pPSI. With those results I was convinced to pull the engine with intentions of a freshen up! Looking forward to a deep cleaning! She is nowhere near my standards. This poor engine has been in need of some TLC for far too long. Hard to see in the picture, but crosshatching is still very visible, Still need to tear down completely and make sure everything is up to spec for a re-ring and freshen up! The buildup between the two cylinders gives me an idea of why the drivers side cylinders were not up to par. Stay tuned for more! Will post another update shortly as time and funds allow.

Yes it is! In Okmulgee,Ok. He had a family emergency in April when I originally tried picking it up, I emailed him and told him I had cash in hand and didn't get a reply until last month when I tried again! He was an older guy who didn't know too much about cars. It's running now!

Awesome! Thank you guys just needed the insight, I'll reattach that wire and make sure that anti dieseling solenoid is working, the rubber where the wire enters it is messed up but I think I can remove it and repair it!

Just picked this fine little thing up a couple weeks ago, been sitting for 14 years. Has a little rust on corners but I will be properly fixing them as soon as the engine is running. For giggles I threw a jump starter on the dead battery and tossed some fuel in the carburetor as the tank was dry and pump seemed to be unhappy, it fired up fairly nice considering the condition it was in. Will be posting more soon! In the process of rebuilding the hitatchi carburetor currently and will have pictures and video soon!

I just recently picked this one up and pulled the carburetor because the previous owner said the accelerator pump leaked. Car does start and run when gas is poured into the carb. My main problem is getting the bowl vent solenoid diaphragm. I cannot find it anywhere and was wondering if someone could help me! I'm pretty desperate to get this hitatchi back together. I could use a vacuum diaphragm also but I believe I can re-use this one. Also the wire was ripped out of the anti-dieseling solenoid and the end is damaged, may be able to fix but I'm not sure that it does too much to worry about at the moment. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Greetings everyone! I thought I would introduce myself on here, I'm just another Subaru enthusiast like the rest. I'm from Oklahoma and have a 2013 WRX, and just recently picked up a 1982 GLF 2 door coupe. It's a work in progress and I came here because I noticed this forum had the most interest in the older models. I was starting to think I was the only one interested in old subarus! I am having some issues with this one and was hoping some of the wider community could help!
