Now that I have a computer with windows 7 and, the ability to have to screens open at once....I realize I probably could figure a way to jump around on a couple of more forums..........

you can do that way before win7 i'm on xp and can have many instances of explorer running.. each with multiple tabs. whatever the memory and processor can handle..e tc.

LOL..... maybe my computer could before but I am skeptical about my own memory and processing ability.

REALLY! I thought that I just had too much time on my hands. Actually, I check out the forums when I come over from the shop for lunch and then later on after dinner. TV just doesn't do it for me this time of year. Now when college football starts..........man LOOK OUT!

Phil - could you share with me what forum you go to for Samurai information. I'm having some issues again with my Samurai and am looking for some help.

PM me if you don't want to post it. Thanks.

I think this is the best one, tho there are others: Suzuki Jimny, Sierra & Samurai Forum - Suzuki Forums: Suzuki Forum Site

What issues are plaguing you?

post here on tbn in the repairs or the trans forum. Most of us here work on stuff, someone is bound to know that vehicle have one or is just a mecanic. You can get most of what you need here, unless its something crazy like a bad wire in the harness for the crank sensor or something that those type gurus would know exactly where to point you.

My Samurai sat for about a year because of multiple issues (mostly the Samurai "death wobble". I finally got all of that fixed, then it needed new tires, shocks, steering stabilizer, door handles (inside and out), radio, etc. When I finally got all that going, it would start but would not idle. I had put on a Weber carb and Strictly Suzuki intake years ago, so I got a rebuild kit for the carb and installed that. After that, it started good, ran great and would idle good. After about a month, it reached the point that if I didn't start it a couple of times a day, I would have to re-prime the carb or else it would just crank and never start. Once it's running, it runs fine.

Some I'm trying to figure out if I have a carb problem, a fuel pump problem or something else. Like I said, I rebuilt the carb and it ran great for about a month, now this.

I would love some advice if any of you guys have any.

Thanks.

Float adjustment maybe? I once had a late-70s F-150 where the float had to be exact...otherwise it would be hard to start after sitting a few days.
