87 Samurai stalls after bump
« on: June 17, 2012, 01:25:57 PM »
No success searching for an answer.  I'm new to the forum here.  I have a recurring problem with Samurai stalling and flooding after hitting a hard bump (speed bump or sharp dip in the road).  Immediately stalls and you can smell gas.  Flooding from carb overflow lines.  Restarts after I pull fuel line and crank engine for 1 or 2 minutes.  I have replaced fuel filter and run carb and fuel line cleaner through the gas tank.  I thought maybe the float was sticking.  Saw exact same thread on another forum from 2 years ago, but neither of the 2 having the same problem got a concrete answer.  Any suggestions?  Thanks from a newbie!

Adjust float?  Rebuild carb while at it?


Good luck.

Float sounds likely. Good place to start anyway
