Carb Help
« on: July 09, 2009, 04:59:01 PM »
I have two 88 Sami's and one of them started to act up, it was acting like it was running out of gas in the carb bowl, but it seem to be fine looking through the sight glass, so I bought a rebuild kit and rebuilt it, but the same thing, I use a very good dip cleaner and it was very well done. It was still acted like it ran out of gas, I tried re-setting the float several times, and then one day it worked fine and has since.

Now here's my problem. My other 88 just started doing this, we are taking them out this Saturday four wheeling and I need it up and going. Is this something that happens a lot? It is doing the exact same thing as my other one.

When it did start doing this (thank goodness we JUST got out of a wicked trail) I swapped the driver and let him  drive my LJ20 and I drove the Sami and I could feather the gas pedal to get it kind of going, but after a mile of this I heard a little back fire in the carb and it started running fine till we got  it home and I shut it off and  the next day it was doing the same thing. Any Help?

Isnt that a kentucky tune up?  just smash the gas till it runs fine.  lol

funny as that sounds, I know lots of guys who got big trucks with big v8's and that seems to work.
