As its said in the previous thread once the standard carb is running poorly that is it.

I put a Nikki on mine and it is a world away, performance wise, from the standard carb.There are write ups on suzuki tech for fitting and it is literally an hours job.You can get them off ebay for £30, mine came off a beetle 1300.

Alternatively Scoobystu on difflock http://www.difflock.com/forum will do you a cheap su adaptor if you are interested.He alsp offers some decent advice if you run into trouble.

Personal opinion(from experience)..............you are chasing the wrong problem!

I dont think the ditch has anything to do with the current problem, I think its caused by the current cold weather we are suffering.
The carb fitted to the sammy is basically overcomplicated and crap. It suffers from everything, including CARB ICING.

pop the bonnet, and check the flexible metal pipe that comes from the exhaust manifold shield to the airbox is fitted, not adrift, and not split.

Then check if the little 'T' piece valve on the air intake is set to recieve hot air from this pipe, or if its drawing cold air from the inner wing area.

If you ensure the carb is fed with warm/hot air from the manifold, I guess your poor running will go away.

Usually, if you do suffer from carb icing, if you let the truck stand for 20 mins, the carb will defrost, and usually restart(unless you have flooded it trying to get the POS started)
