While I agree that the stock carbs are a little difficult to rebuild, in my opinion they are a great off road carb. I personally have 2 samurais and have had very few carb problems. (my throttle plate shaft broke once) Other than that I wouldnt trade how well it runs at severe angles, the better fuel economy, and smooth running. Except maybe for fuel injection. On the other hand toy carbs are pretty good to. One more you might want to check out if you plan on doing the stock one and are having trouble either finding one, or finding a cheaper one. The subaru carbs are VERY similar to stock suzuki's. They are a Hitachi,same bolt pattern, alot of the same acessory's, but with a couple extra vacum ports. Just an idea........
