Don't fall into the trap of "I run this in my engine of the same type" and my jets are; Your cam is different and your manifold is different, bore size, compression?? We "blue printed" two engine's and dynoed them as an experiment, with Webers, even they were slightly different. Just use the others ...

Sorry Tony, I've lost track of the carbie swaps. Do you have this carbie dynoed or just the other one? Your going in fairly bit jet steps when you are changing them. Because you have changed many of the jets, these will all interact with each other, hopefully getting the whole lot in the ball park. ...

How do you read it whilst riding?

Out of interest, tried it in all the plug holes or just No1?

The fault was a bit conFUSEing, but got it sorted.
It shows how something straightforward can turn out to be unrelated to the diagnosed fault.
One of the advantages of wrecking a few Subaru's, plenty of fuses.
And patience.

Nice for Nachaluva to have have a green sump, very fitting

I have just purchased a one owner Gen2 Outback, very neat original car. Everything is fine, well, except for some fire in the water and the ABS light was on. Did a quick check of all the fuses and sensors. I checked all the fuses in the fuse box, all ok. After doing a voltage measurement on the ABSC...

Its not just the rating of the vehicle, there are different design tow bars that have different load capacities.
If you do it, I think it would be a "once in a lifetime experience"
A short practice run might answer all your questions, quickly.

That reverse shaft is problem is a headache, I have seen it a couple of times when fixing boxes, never bothered to find out what the boxes came out of. I just swapped the cases to match the gears, the people who wanted the boxes didn't care about ratio's. You can also end up with the opposite, heaps...

As above.
I had the same. Looked up the IP address and it's it China.

Gee imagine that, someone trying to crack something on the net.
(probably from a year 1 class in China, start em yung)

Now Jonno you didn't listen to the instructions properly, when you pull the string across the back tires you have to look carefully at where the string sits relative to the front tyres. My's and L's have rear wheel alignment problems, from being adjusted while being used (big rocks). Provided this i...

Careful, i looked into similar ones a while ago, note the have 5 spokes, to work well with 5 studs fitting under the cap. The ones I looked at could not do the 4 stud diameter with a large centre hole.
But they look good on paper.

As long as all the parts of the choke are working, they are relatively easy to set up. Make sure the pull off diaphragm is set up correctly and works. I can be simpler to set the choke flap so it is fully open (just) when the motor is warm and the diaphragm is also pulling it open. Make sure the cho...

Careful when you undo the bolts that hold the engine cross member on, the nuts can be weathered (tight) and are relatively soft. Make sure you lubricate the thread and keep your socket straight, a slight angle on it may burr the nut, then its cutting time. The rest can be similar, but not as bad, ju...

That's not harsh, I was just pointing out its a well used method by experienced Subie owners and is ok to do.
You should always get a second opinion on what you read on the net.

The beauty of these carbie's is they have a million (well almost) jets and adjustments. You can have a simple little play for curiosity (put your fingers near the biting things, not too close), but it needs a dyno and scope and an EG analyser to get serious results. Oh and someone that knows what th...

Hey, that's a long term Subaru owners secret
But its the easy way to do it.

By dropping the float level slightly you will lean out the progression mixtures. Raising it richens the progression mixtures. But WOT is jets, as long as the float level is in the ball park, exact float level makes little difference. From the motor size vs carbie size, it should be rich. Even settin...

Thinking is the first stage Tony.
Action is required to relieve the pain.
Drop the float level 1mm at a time, idle screws out 1/2 turn with each float level drop.
That's "A" theory.
If it gets worse go the other way.
Worst case, put it back to where it was.
Just time (sorry, education), no money.

Still get distracted by how good Tweety looks in the photos.
Sort of makes you forget the problems.
You could try adjusting (dropping?) the float level slightly, costs nothing, within budget
