zdriver123 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Is poor fuel mileage the sign of a failing Hitachi? I just got my 84 4wd wagon going and only made it 145 miles on a tank. What gives. I'm getting parts for a full tuneup and a seafoam treatment. but am I just denying the fact that I may have a failing carb? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BratWarrior Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 A carb rebuild never hurt anybody. Well, maybe some people It could be a number of things, but I would get a rebuild kit and check all of your vacuum hoses or do as others will say and go for a Weber conversion. Easy and WELL worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edrach Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Rebuilding the original Hitachi is not worth your while. Best fix is to replace the Hitachi with a weber 32/36 model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
