i have looked in a few places. in need a book that shows carb rebuild stuff. i have a lot of vaccum lines broke and missing any know where to get one?

If you switch to a weber you will eliminate about 90% of those vacuum lines.

While I am a big fan of the Weber, there is an excellent article with pics on rebuilding the stock Hitachi carburetor at Zuwharrie.com.  That, and a copy of the FSM or a quick visit to the local library for a Chiltons or Haynes (in that order of usefulness ranking) can get you going towards a successful rebuild of your stock carb.

There is also a hitachi vacuum line pictorial at Ack's FAQ.

for the links to all the above material, do a search for hitachi at Ack's FAQ (link in sig below).

There is also information on the Hyundai Pony, Toyota Corolla and Weber DGAV carbs too.

Hope this helps!

where do i need to go to find one and r they really exspensive.

who would carry a weber for it?

If you want the best Weber, get a hold of Sarge at Midwest Preformance Parts.  His Webers are second to none!

If you want a little cheeper, try E-bay.  I see them on there all the time.  Try looking in the Toy parts section as well.

I stuck a weber 34 on mine and haven't been very happy. It's got the electric choke which I still haven't figured out. As far as gas milage, I haven't got over 23 yet. Still working on it. I never had a problem with all the emission crap but I suppose it could have been a problem at some point. As well, the computer thing behind the glove box has something to do with controlling how everything comes together.

It's all complex, but I guess that's why the hitachi got such good milage when tuned right. Mine was dumping gas or I would have stuck with it. I saw a weber on ebay that bragged it would get better fuel milage and more h.p. then the stock. Maybe h.p. but definetely not on milage.

If I could do it all over again, I would have maybe rebuilt the hitachi, and made sure all the hoses were correct and snug. Then I would have checked or tested the remaing components if possible and replaced what I could with what ever was affordable. Of course,  if I put the hitachi back on and it performed the way I wanted it too, I could assume that the other components were functioning properly. The diagnosis on all that crap could be intimidating.

I spent around 400. for my complete kit. I could have rebuilt the stock a bit cheaper and put all that money into a header and other exaust components and probably got better results. I also found that there are fewer and fewer shops that work on carbs, and the ones in my area don't want to touch a weber, only a carter or holly if at all.
