TT Hanks machine it. I would love that. I could.pay shipping since I'm a ways from you. Update I got her running decently but still lacking a bit of power as well as having a problem with secondary not kicking in. I wish I was better at this stuff but after this unit I feel I will be with tour guys help. Thanks so much for helping me out. Now to just put more of time and money in it to get it where I want it.

Yeah and update for the evening before calling it quits until next time I muster up the strength and patience to work at it again. After adjusting the float with no real number or reference in mind other than my own meandering experience watching endless videos of carbs like mine and still having problems with idle, rough too slow and fluctuated as well as dying while trying to stop and go. I feel as if that's a float issue. But not sure precisely, any and all suggestions welcome and encouraged. Thank you all ahead of time once again, this is proving to be a nightmare experience for a noobie like myself.

I literally dump water in the radiator and it goes somewhere other than on the ground and never seems to fill up all the way.

Upon trying to follow a guide on here I turned my idle svrew all the way in and started at 2.5 turn out like it said and boy was that a mistake. My car was idling like it was driving on the freeway and after about 5 minutes fiddling with the idle screw on the carb it started smoking and overheating so I had my buddy kill it and it stuttered and finally died. What do I do now guys, I'm really stumped as to how to make this work again with my direction as to how the float should be I'm lost.

Well I honestly goofed and didn't add my needle spring or needle vlave pin on my float mechanism. Whatever these things are called lol. I managed to get her running more lean but when I back up or start to drive forward it now dies. And has trouble starting. I followed many guides and unfortunately most of them say to use tools I will never own let alone get the change to use. I can't just spend 300+$ on a weber otherwise o would have already been excited to remove those crap vacuum hoses. Is there something I missed when adjusting float level? The books I downloaded from this site have the one section I need missing from it... The carburetor section.

I have a factory service manual. Funny how the one section I needed from the manuals here and elsewhere I have found have the carburetor section missing completely for the ea82 FSM and other sources of information. The rebuild kit I bought had enough information to go off of for part names and locations but that was really all that was needed.

Thanks man. Any suggestions as to how to adjust the float properly now? And after that I will post my findings tomorrow or later tonight when I get back to the garage where my car is at. I appreciate all the quick and wonderful suggestions and replies!

Yes it was running better before any mods.I do believe my firing order is normal which is what I found to be correct. I may have carb float adjustments to make. So can I open the carb without damaging the new gaskets? Or do I have to buy new ones anyways?

I should have said I put the old belts I took off from alternator and serpentine belts back on after removing them to get them out of the way. Also my car came with no timing belt covers. I can see the belts on both sides from the front top and bottom of the engine. At least I think those are timing belts.

And Ferox, honestly you may be right with timing belt, because it is just shy of 250k miles. So that is a fairly decently old belt if OEM stock.

Well I took the belt off the front and the power steering reservoir off to have better access to the carb in my first attempt to remove and rebuild it. Then power steering fluid leaked all over the place. I replaced the belt and have done a complete tune up on it before I rebuilt the carburetor and it ran fine just was not well tuned. I don't know what to do.

Also, thank you for your help so far! Didn't want to forget that just to make sure.

So, I went and bought a carb from a 86 GL wagon but it was a manual transmission. I rebuilt most of what I could with my level of skill and still had a few things leftover from the rebuild, and when I went to start it after I installed it with new gaskets and all it backfired through the carburetor my rpm gauge no longer works and I flooded out as well as leaked through the pole that goes through the bottom of the carb body that has the butterfly thing in it. I'm such a noob, you guys are probably having a laugh but I was honestly thinking about going to a junkyard again and try to get a weber. What specific carbs will mount up to my intake manifold?

I just took apart my 1987 Subaru's Hitachi Carb DCZ-328 and I found some phenol jets that got damaged while trying to take it all apart. One of the two phenol parts is in my rebuild kit. The other however, is not. I have called a local reputable parts store and cannot locate it via Google search or here with the search feature. The part I need is listed on the carb rebuild kit as number 44 - "Jet - Primary Slow Air Bleed" I have checked for this part replacement and since its a form of high heat standing plastic. I don't understand why it wasn't included in the new kit as the other jet was and is a metal replacement. One more thing also: Upon taking off my throttle body spacer it broke into 3 pieces which also is not in the rebuild kit. How do I go about finding a replacement spacer for this carburetor? Any help would be greatly appreciated and thank you in advance! This is my first rebuild and so far things are okay except these couple problems so far.
