Mudboat Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 I was having really bad hesitation with my EA-81. The carb was rebuilt last year by a carb shop. I noticed that the accelerator pump was not squirting gas, so I pulled the top of the carb off and checked the pump. Found the pump to work, but the jet that squirts it into the throat was plugged. I rodded it out with a torch tip cleaner and it helped out with the hesication drastically. I am a little concerned that I may have shaved the bore in the jet a bit too much.. Is it a big deal if that little jet has a slightly bigger hole than it is supposed to have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joostvdw Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 your engine will run a bit richer I guess, don't think that's too big of a problem if it really bothers you, go back to the carb shop were the carb was rebuilt and buy a new jet, problem solved (and you're absolutely sure it's clean :-p ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatchsub Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 I have horrible hessitation if i dont let my car warm up and even when its warm it isn't a hundred percent. I have the Carter-Weber one barrel. Could this be an accelator pump issue as well? Or a clogged jet? Or just a crappy Carb? I want to get it running a bit better especially now that winter is coming.

I had a Carter Weber on my engine when I first bought it. Note: My engine is in a mud boat.. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=8086 First of all, I couldn't get the CW to run decent no matter hard I tried. I finally paid $15 for a used intake and another $25 for a used Hitachi carb. Another $175 for a shop rebuild and it ran FANTASTIC, until about 2 weeks ago that is.. The carb shop that rebuilt mine a year ago took in 9' of water during hurricane Katrina. I live 10 miles west of New Orleans. The next nearest shop was literally washed away.. So, I had to clean it the best I could and figure out the problem on my own, or I was looking at shipping it off somewhere. My next option would be to buy the Weber 32/36 kit, which I just may do anyway.. My advice for your carb is to bring it to a professional carb shop and get a total rebuild. The CW 1bbl is actually a bit more simplified than the Hitachi, but it's twice as finicky... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
