I saw a vehicle, 1986, must be a Metro sorta thing, but Suzuki, not Geo.

It had the 3-cylinder in it, with carb. It looked clean and relatively low miles. The carb look complete and in great shape.

I believe I have read that this carb will replace the Samurai carb, is this correct? I didn't pull it off of the manifold or do any measurements.

TIA

Its called a suzuki swift.....not sure if the carb works though, I could of sworn someone already had a thread started about the carb. try a search.

That carb won't be set-up for a 4-cylinder though. It'll likely be jetted too small and you'll find yourself running lean. It won't help to make the most horsepower.:D

Thanks, guys. Wish I had one of these lil cars in good shape to use as a commuter.

Yeah, I thought of that. I am hoping that if the carb is the same bore sizes, it may be jetted close. I'm wondering, stoich is stoich, no matter how big or lil yer engine is [1]. In closed-loop mode I will assume it would be fine. That leaves idle, cold running, and WOT to worry about! :-)

I need a carb in order to be smog legal hereabouts, and this might become a spare. Or not!

[1] Just wondering! I know in motorcycles, if you have the same displacement engine, say 500cc, both with identical carbs and cams 'n stuff, but one is a single the other a twin, the single will need richer jets. This is because the inertia of the fuel moving through the jets. Due to the pulsating nature of the vacuum the fuel accelerates, flows, then slows down over and over. Due to the uneven flow speed, stopping and starting, the single requires the larger jets. But because of its inherent thermal efficiency (a single has less surface area in relation to size than a similar size twin), the single will get better mileage. The twin will have more power, due to better breathing because it will probably have greater valve and port area in relation to size, than the single. I think.
