Year? Have you changed the fuel filter(s)? Check all your vacuum lines and carb mounting, lack of power and erratic idle sounds like a vacuum issue. Gloyale is spot on about the gurgle. Timing for a Weber can be tricky. Keep bumping it around till you find your sweet spot. I've done the Weber swap on 2 EA81's and each was a bit different on the timing.

Replacement Carburetor for EA81?
jonas replied to Bratmobile's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Dude, srsly, go Weber. I've done it twice. Easy to do and well worth it. Plenty of info on this site to get it done. -
No headlights or dash lights, '85 Brat

Ok, pulled the switch and the male/female connector from the switch into the harness is absolutely FRIED! Peeled back about 4 inches of the harness casing and all the wires look fine. Looks like a trip to the boneyard for new switch and connector is in order. Last time I was there all they had was an '80's hatch. Hope it's still there. -

thanks guys. will be checking the switch in a few min. where are those grounds located? -
Replaced a blown fuse and still nothing. They were working just fine. Everything else works. Checked the 3 links in the grey plastic cover on the passenger side, all good. was thinking bad light switch but all my other lights work just fine. *scratches head*

I would get a used one. Cheaper that going rebuild and generally a safe bet. -

Try going into neutral while in motion. Mine will sometimes get stuck in 4th if I come to a stop while in gear with clutch pedal pressed. Come to a stop in neutral. -
I'm thinking remove the bar, install the seat frame, drop bar back in, then put the seats in. Probably have to move the seats a little closer together. There's about a 2 inch gap between the bar and the bed.

Cool, thanks. I'll get some pics up tomorrow. My tubes are fatter and it's a gen 2 which I believe is a bit wider than the Gen 1's but it's looking like I can make a set fit with little to no modding.

Thanks. If someone could post some really close-up shots that would help.

http--,,--// I believe It's off of a ford ranger trimmed up to fit Brat. Seems a little tight where the jumpseats would go. I'm thinking I may have to trim up the seat frame a bit, if possible, to make it fit. I hope not.

My birthday present: 1984 Subaru GL
jonas replied to Walldo's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Looks like a nice car, minus damage, for a NY car. If you're patient and keep your eyes open, something will come along, otherwise you're gonna have to take Mykeys advice.
