need carb info

[subyrally]

i need pics of the gaskets for the non feedback hitachi 2bbl carb in my brat. i had a friend that knows carbs come over to take a look at it today and we got hte engine running a lot better than it was, but i think the at the gasket for hte top section of the carb might not be right. i am thinking that one of the ports might be blocked, but im not sure if its meant to be or not.

 

i guess i either need pics of the gaskets or an actual gasket to use. i cant get the right carb kit from my local parts stores since they all list only the feedback carb kits for it.

 

so far, i cant find any info that is actually related to my carb. even the books i have dont mention the carb i have.

 

i am lost and need some help here.

Ill give you a carb for free if you want to pay shipping

The kits are for all Hitachi's in the model range. As far as I know, all the kits I've seen were generic with respect to model number - they usually list them as pertaining to a range of models. Last one I bought was $30 and had parts to fit all DCP-306-XX models (your carb is one of these).

 

Feedback has NOTHING to do with the kit. As far as that goes a feedback carb is identical to a non-feedback except for jetting and how it's hooked up with the metereing port's when you install it in the car.

 

And you need to be ordering kits for an '84 wagon - the Brat ran into the EA82 era and you are likely to get EA82 parts if you don't order for an '84 model year.

is that why the gaskets i ordered were all larger than the gaskets i removed from the carb? kinda maks sence now.

 

 

find out how much shipping wll be and let me know. i am in frederick maryland, 21702.

 

send me a pm with some details and ill see about getting you some money.

Yep - those would be gaskets for a DCZ-328-XX carb - the EA82's had larger Hitachi's with different bolt patterns.

there's different part numbers and the gaskets even look different between rebuild kits for the early 80's dcp's. i went through them while i was trying to figure out what year my carb was and there were three different kits. the first kit i bought had an insulator that didn't fit (it blocked internal passages) and the air horn gasket had some holes in the wrong spots. i compared pics of kits online to my old gaskets and got the right kit with proper gaskets.

[subyrally]

part of my problem is that i dont have my original gaskets since they crumbled when i did the first rebuild, i managed to salveage a few sections of the gasket to use as a template to make the new one, but for some parts, i basically had to guess or use the carb as the stencil.

 

i am going to look at getting a new gasket kit today.

[subyrally]

i ordered the carb kit on my way to work this morning, it should be in tomarrow morning, i hope. i am going to replace the gasket and try again once i get it all together. i just hope that this is the proper kit this time around.

 

last nightwe got it running right at idle, but when you give it gas, it bogs down. from waht my friend was telling me, the secondaries are working perfectly, as is the accel pump, but the primaries arent dumping in any fuel when you rev it. so it bogs instead of revs. he said that its possibly a blockage from the gasket i made, or there might be a blockage in the jets. if you spray a bit of carb cleaner in the carb while giving it throttle, it revs like it should. i tihnk i might know where the problem is, but i wont know for sure until i can actually see the proper gasket along side the one i made for it.

 

hopefully this fixed therunning issues, next step is a 5spd swap and 5 lug conversion. possibly to be done once i get home from vacation:headbang: . but yeah, screw it, im going to the beach, lol.

Yep, it sounds like your gasket might have covered up the air bleed for the main jet.

thats my thought. i cant waituntil tomarrow when i get the new kit for it, if it fixes it, i am going to try to put up and down the street in the brat.
