newsance Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 Need some feedback. I've got a subaru that is calibrated for sea level. at 6500 feet, it is running on the rich side, a little too high to pass emmissions. This is a carbed EA82 1.8, I think it is the hitachi (right?) Anyways, I'm failing at 2500 rpm. CO LIMIT- 1.5 Tested- 1.55 The only real way to correct this is to get the carb rejetted, which I will probably do, but I need to get this car regsitered ASAP. I can't wait to mail order some jets. So, I need suggestions on a vacuum line to pull to lean things out. Preferably one that will not cause anything emissions related to stop working. Best contender I see is one right behind the carb in the middle of the manifold. What goes to this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archemitis Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 if your gonna do this, you can go to a pet shop, and get a valve for an air pump for aquariums, then you can tune in your leak... just get a T and leave it all hooked up. hide the bleeder. or just get it hot, that helps alot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This vacuum leak will exist for 2 blocks. One block driving in, and one block driving out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archemitis Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 i think one line is too much, youd need something like a pinhole, or something slightly larger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShawnW Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 Adjusting the timing is usually enough, set it to 10-12 degrees instead of 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
