crizzlE Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 I have an 81 brat with an ea81. the car has trouble starting and idling until its warmed up. I narrowed it down to the carb. it's missing the automatic choke cover and many components. I was going to get a weber eventually, but i would like to have some option of an inexpensive fix, so i can get it smogged. I was checking out rebuild kits, but they don't include the pieces i need. any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Find someone who is doing a Weber swap and buy their old carb from them for parts. Of if you source up a good stock carb for not a lot, swap it on, should be pretty straight forward. Carbs to watch out for are the Carter-Weber single barrel EA81 carb, Hitachi 2 barrel EA81 computer controlled carb and the Hitachi 2 barrel EA82 carbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
