Hello, I am new to this forum and to the Suzuki world. I have boughten an lj80v and would like to rebuild the carb or replace it with something else. I am open to suggestions. I am looking to make this a good driver as well as drive it off road.


Thanks !!

Here is the place that you need to be:

You have a vehicle that some of us would commit horrible and unthinkable acts to own.

...maybe even spend some money!

Congratulations on your purchase!

Stop by sometime with pictures and make us all jealous!

I've been running the stock carb on mine but I was lucky. Look up the LJ10 site and stevec is the one to see for parts for it.

The site has probably done every swap possible and can lead you into the right direction. I've got a few old carbs but not sure if any are good or not.

what is your doing?
