Excessive Fuel Consumption in an SJ

<< < (2/2)

jiblet:
yeah thats right, if you have them, youl be able to see a simple twist lock mechanism on your front hubs.

glaggs:
You don't say what you think you might be getting or what you were expecting? Despite having small engins Suzuki 4x4's don't give great fuel economy. I know people with SJ413's who struggle to get 30mpg.

japcarsrule:
its a carburettor problem the SJ are allways renowned for crappy carburettors get someone to try set it up properly

Evilgoat:
Everyone dives right in at the carbs. Yes they are weak but there are other possibilities.

Check fuel lines, check taht everything is free to move, look for binding brakes etc. The Fuel economy on the Suzukis is, as already mentioned, nothing great.

fudge:
I can't fill my SJ to the top of the tank, it sloshes out of the breather system..... I try to put 3/4 of a tank at a time....

Anyway, how many miles to how much fuel does it use, I'd expect circa 28MPG anyway
