SJ Carbs
« on: December 14, 2005, 18:40:36 »
Hello everybody, I'm new to this!
I have a SJ413 F Reg, bit battered but goes well.  Bullbars, winch two inch lift, all ready for off roading.
I have had a few problems with Carb, and have read that I can fit an SU carb from a metro.  Has anyone done this before and if so can you offer any tips or advice on how to go about doing this.  I know there is a conversion from Rhino Rays which costs £150.00.  I think I will be in trouble with the wife if I buy that! but I am an engineer so can make the appropriate adapter from pictures obtained. (hopefully).  Look forward to any help or advice.
Thanks  :twisted:

My 413 had a metro carb on when i got it off wing nut, but i didnt run very well, heavy on fuel an as slow as an old metro :roll:
I got a new suzuki carb to make it run better.

In my mind all Suzuki carbs are crap. Over complicated, impossible to tune,Un-fixable.

SU carb needs 90 degree adaptor making, which ideally needs heating otherwise can lead to fuelling problems  on cold interior wall of adaptor.

Allegedly Hyundai pony carb goes on, Nikki carb only needs a flat raiser plate making, and weber is not far behind for ease of fitment.

Get a Nikki, I ran one for ages and loved it, maybe coughs a bit on steeeeep hills/sideslopes but otherwise OK.
Whatever you do, ensure all the little brass air fittings on the carb manifold are blanked off/folded over, or youll be blaming your new carb for the air leaks.

Go for a Nikki. I got one on mine. Power, fuel economy, and the sound. All sooo much better.
There's an article on how to fit one at Suzuki Club UK.They also show how to fit a dihatsu carb
