hey i have a 87 and i think the stock carb is taking a crap on me.(((runs ok if your seting and hit the gas but if your driving and hit the gas all the way it pops and back fires and try's to die)))).i have a used weber carb i think its a 23/24 or sumthin like that....do any of you have a pic or info on how you have your's set up?..i was told it will run like crap with the weber...i do have a header on it too.

P.S the dumb napa here says thay dont make any parts for the stock carb,,

thank you,

Check all your vacuum lines.

I ran a weber on a 1.6 for a while, it ran fine except for the flooding issues in certain situations. There are several different mods to fix it. I will say that it ran a little rich as well but if you're having too trouble with the stock one and cant fix it then try the weber.

There are also other options besides the weber like the pony carb, my-fi, sidedraft carbs, etc. So search around, search here, zukikrawlers and zuwharrie. Many options besides the weber.

i tryed the weber and it ran like crap...so im puting the stock one back on..one of the gaskets where cracked...so i made a new one (napa cant get thim)!!! what a dumb store! :mad3:

I have a 32/36 DGEV weber on my samurai 1.3 and it runs great....I've got a doug thorley header also.....look on ebay and you can get the complete kit with the adapter and brand new air filter for like 289.00.......BIG power increase over the stock carb, i'm pullin 39.5 inch mickey thompsons and the samurai is my daily driver.

can i use a inline fuel pump in my sammy? thay are asking 79 bucks for a new pump that go's on the motor......do i have to take the stock pump off?? or just put in inline on my frame?

im running a webber 32/36 its pretty great. i bypassed the original fuel pump and bought a universal electric pump i picked up on ebay for 38 bucks including shipping. big power for a little motor

I have the weber 32/36. Had it reworked by Sarge. Check out this article http://www.performancewebers.com/larry.html
He reworked the manifold rebuilt, rejetted and solved the flooding problem. Mounted the carb on the manifold backwards. Total was around 250-. Well worth it. Sarge is a great guy and will spend time on the phone with you helping you get everything right. When you block off the old fuel pump you can use a chevy big block cover. Available at any napa. Don't forget to remove the rod that runs the pump or you will have a serious problem. I use an electric pump and pressure regulator cranked down to 1.5 lbs off road runs great. Good luck.

what does mounting the carb on the manifold backwards do? my suzuki is a street only rig that sit's on 39 mickey thompsons....would there be any advantage to reversing the carb on it?

Steep hills. Better to stall coming down than up. No advantage I know of on street.
