Hi everyone!! I just signed up for this forum and I am beyond excited guy right now!! Yesterday afternoon I picked up a rust free, 1985 Subaru DL Wagon. The car was born and raised in New Mexico. I have never seen such a clean frame on a car, especially a Subaru! I picked her up for $1600. Motor runs great at idle but kicks and bucks like a horse after that. I think the carb is shot and needs rebuilt. Thus far I am getting 15 mpg!! Something is definitely off on this carb...or it's shot. I know jack about carbs so it's quite a learning curve for me! Due to the car being in New Mexico, all of the emissions devices were unplugged and all the hoses are gone. Would this cause the car to act nuts when trying to give her gas??? I'm also presuming I have an Hitachi carb from what I have researched but maybe someone can tell me for sure if this is true? If so, where can I get a good rebuild kit at? Well enough about the bragging, ill let the pictures and video below do the rest of the talking, then we can all chat from there PS: This is my first carb'd Subi. I owned an 87 Loyale Sedan when I was 16 (my first car) and then drove around an '89 Loyale for a bit in my early 20's. BUT back in those days I didn't give a hoot about the car except it ran. I never researched or learned about what's under the hood. Now at 33, I am pretty mechanically inclined and had to buy this car. She needs carb work and I have a small clicking in the rear under 15mph. I am assuming it's an axle? Oddly when I put the car in 4wd the clicking goes away. Also when in 2wd, the clicking goes away past 15mph.
