Title: Need help with 1.6 in 88 Sami
Post by: ths on July 17, 2009, 01:22:42 AM

I have a 8 Valve 1.6 in my sami and the power is good but its getting horrible gas mileage. It has a generic electric fuel pump and the engine is has a carburetor not an injector. Is it possible that it the fuel pressure is too high or does the carb need to be rebuilt? I was also wondering if anyone knows if changing out the valves, springs, and lifters is pretty straight forward or should I have a shop do it? Any help would be appreciated.

Excessive fuel pressure is quite possible, it should be around 2.5psi. It could be a lot of other things too, Changing the valves out is relatively simple but it depends on your level of ability. What dizzy are you running?

I'm pretty mechanically inclined. I've had samurais in the past but this is my first 1.6. What is a dizzy?
