Title: 88 Samurai Carb Rebuilder?
Post by: WesP on May 21, 2012, 04:17:42 PM

Looking for someplace that can rebuild the carb for my 88 Samurai in the southern California area. I want to make sure that they know what they are doing and not just blowing smoke up my butt. I tried Petro Works but they are so backed up on their work that after six weeks I just can't wait any longer. Any recommendations?  Thanks.....

I think suzuki john in las vegas might be your next choice.

I don't have any experiance with these guys but I remember someone having good things to say about them http://importcarburetors.com/contents/en-us/d3_suzuki_samurai.html.

I just ordered a rebuilt carb from Guaranteed Carburetors (ImportCarburetors.com) in Florida. Their cost was VERY competitive and they appear to have a long business history. The price was $259.99 + shipping. Total cost was $301.00 and they include a prepaid shipping label for the core return. Hopefully it will only take 10 to 14 days. They flow test and run it on an engine before shipping. Thanks for the info.
