Carby Kits, Any Advice?

Post by carlie400 » Tue Oct 06, 2009 6:59 pm

Hi All,
Has anyone used the carby kits they sell on ebay for the 1600 and 1800's? Are the any good. Is it worth my time? Money?
I have a 1978 Subaru Brumby.. He's hot, just quietly, but I do find when I accelerate I get a bit of lag sometimes, like the carby isn't pumping enough fuel... Would the rebuild kit fix that ??
Any ideas anyone?
Cheers! Carlie.

From what I have read about your ute Carly, I would just let it run in now before you do anything else, could take 5 to 10 thousand K's before he loosens up enough to see what you really have there.

Lots of Ks,A/C, MP3 sometimes(if its not dark) singing steering wheel cover which I listen too when its dark.

Just thought I would post this. There is a site http://www.nardek.com.au that seems to have rebuild kits available for several of the EA series engines.

I havent got one yet but if I do end up getting one Ill post saying whether its worthwhile or not.

Also, Bursons sells some decent kits too.
