Thanks biffany...

Curious what the difference is between the models? It looks like there were 79 brats with dual headlights and some with four.....is that the only difference between these models. Did one come later in the year....which is more desirable? thx!

Thanks Biffany, I might take you up on that offer. Anyone out there actually done this....added AC to a brat with no factory ac? I'm in charleston SC and its a must! thx!

Is it possible to install AC in a 79 brat? If so....how much and how difficult is it? Thanks!

thx...would that likely include the rear adjustment bolt under the back seat?

does the 89 still have the height adjustment or was that taken away? thx

Any thoughts on 89 hatchback....thinking about buying one. I've owned a '80 wagon, 84 hatch, and a 85 wagon in the past.....but don't know anything about the '89 HB....looks similar to the 84 hatch I had...any changes? thx

Need to purchase a Carb Repair Kit. Any suggestions on where to purchase one. Its a Hitachi Carb for an 84 gl 4x4 non-california. thanks

Thanks......I do have a voltmeter, but am not too familier with how to properly use it. How should I go about hooking it up to test the fuel pump. If the fuel pump is the source of my problems, where should I purchase one? Thanks...........

Delayed Bump...........thanks for any suggestions.

I believe I have the same problem. Can drive for an hour and all is fine, then turn off the car, restart, then random surging (the car will loose RPMs partly or completely, unless I pump the gas). I though it was a fuel problem, but may be electrical, which you are hinting at. Could it be the Fuel Pump Control Unit that has an odd short causing it to shut down the fuel pump? Its a mystery to me, leaving me with an undrivable car. Let me know if you find a solution.....I'll do the same. Good luck.

Thanks for the input. The carb is less than a year old. The car sat for a long time, so I had to replace some critical parts. I did a search and found similiar symptoms due to a faulty Fuel Pump Control Unit. I'm not looking at the fuel pump as a problem because they seem to outlast the engines. Anyone know anything about FPCU's or any suggestions on where to look?

Is there a good way to test this before I dismantle my carb and buy a kit? Thanks........

What's the best way to fix a sticking float needle valve? I Seafoam the carb requently. Or should I purchase one? Where is it located? Thanks....

First things first......check for vacuum leaks. The easiest way to do this is to take the air filter lid off, while running, take a rag and put it over and cover the opening to the carb.....use both hands and try to cover it completely so it is completely sealed.....listen to the idle....if the idle increases when you do this = you have a vac leak. If your car is not idling well enough to even try this, adjust the idle up using the idle screw until it settles to a comfortable, unshaky idle. Another thing......how long has it been since the fuel filter/separator was changed. Actually, before your try any of this, Seafoam the carb to clear out any grit.
