Tracked the problem...now what?
« on: January 23, 2006, 12:05:33 AM »
Hi guy's/guru's.

Another carb related question.
Prolly simple for the experienced people.

I live in Canada.
We have the american air care system here.

Sammy passes with flying colours every year.( yes...that's how we spell 'colours' )   :D

The truck won't idle up on cold start.
Checked vaccum and such.
Everything works fine if I hold the choke plate open manually a bit.
3 min later it will hold 2ooo rpm and fast idle on it's own, 1000 when warm and no headlight or acces. on.
If I dont hold the choke plate open it floods/stinks/pukes black moisture onto the wifes car  ::)

Any suggestions on keeping the choke slightly open for the 3 min or so?
I could relace the vaccum pot that controls the choke but it's 105 buks canadian. How can I test it?
It was suggested to me to install a manual choke.
Before that...
Is there a simpler fix?

Otherwise I have had no carb issues, but it has done this for a while.
I have gone this far with help from the boards.
What options do I have?

Adjust it open more, or eliminate it.
Choke is more for cold start drivability,
and you should warm your Trucklet first
before driving.

You might contact some of the Suzuki
used parts vendors,  PetroWorks, Hawks
strictly Suzuki etc.  see if they have a fix
or a used good part to fix it.

You might take the pot apart and see if
there is a diaphram in there that you can
repair (patch) or replace with a new rubber
flap (bicycle inner tube) and fix it.
