Post by: Mike-e on June 30, 2008, 10:40:54 PM

Does anyone have any pictures avalible of a lj50 engine? in as much detail as possible?

the watercooled 2 smoke 3cyl 475cc engine in my suzuki fronte has died and im desperate for a replacement and these engines look very similar as far as i can tell. if anyone had a pictures of a engine removed from a vehicle that would be great

Cheers

Mike

You might try giving Hawk Suzuki a call.  They might even have an engine.

I get the impression that you are not in North America... mainly by the name of the car you are trying to fix - and the "cheers" at the end of your post.  Thus Hawks' probably can't help you as much as someone more local to you.  This is an excellent reason for filling out your profile so we can see where you are located and possibly recommend a source for parts.

That said, take a look at the following website:

Indeed, i'm pretty much as far away from North America as you can get, my location is New Zealand  :o

Thanks for the link Ack, I've had a good poke around on that website and unfortunately I can only find the specifications for the 2 cylinder engines, information is proving to be quite difficult to come by.

My apologies for my small country/small town local slang   8)

Wow!  That's a different car! Smaller than the Saab Sonnet - the only 2-cycled car that I recall ever being sold in the US. 

I was hoping that the LJ-50 information at lj10.com would be helpful...

No need to apologise about your "slang"!  There are a LOT of international Suzuki owners that use "Cheers" as a greeting on all the boards - both North American and international.  Welcome to ZukiWorld .com and I hope that you have success finding that engine!

Oh, pictures - especially pictures of Suzukis - are always fun to look at!

Contact nathaniel on difflock.com. He rebuilt his LJ50 engine and I know he took pics.
