Title: 1984 SJ410
Post by: phacker on April 24, 2008, 08:51:37 AM: I have a 1984 SJ410, which I bought in 1988. It had been a rent a car in Hawaii. My problem is it's been sitting for five years. It wouldn't start one morning and I had a Ranger I could use so I just let it sit. Well I finally decided to work on it. Seems the fuel pump has taken a dump.

Having trouble locating one. Anyone have some good parts sources for these things?

Hawk Strictly Suzuki - 1(888)SAMURAI will have parts for your SJ.

I recently converted mine over to electric.

Not meaning to hijack this thread, but how 'bout some more info on the "electric " SJ Drone? I'd really like to check that out.

Post by: phacker on April 26, 2008, 05:56:12 AM: Thanks everyone, but I am in far northern California and smogging laws get more strict every year, so I am a little afraid to make many modifications to the engine. Maybe switching over to electric wouldn't affect that though.

Actually, I meant the Fuel Pump, not the entire rig. Not that I haven't looked at it. If I had enough spare time to do the work it would be fun to drop a 45 or 50hp electric engine in the front end and a diesel generator in the rear...

If you want a write up on putting the electric fuel pump in let me know and I'll post some pictures.

Post by: phacker on April 26, 2008, 12:54:48 PM: Well got my Ranger truck smogged for another two years this morning. It was touch and go.

So that gives me a little wiggle room to to get the Suki fired up again. I've located a replacement pump finally. A little pricey but hey. Going to start by cleaning out the tank and lines. Don't want to foul the carburetor, it was only a year old when she died. But with the new smog laws in California I am a little afraid even with everything I do she won't pass.
