1989 Suzuki Samurai Questions & Answers
Smell gas going down hill in my suzuki samuri 1989
most cars this old , the CAT is missing rodded out or dead.
and all cars with no cat stink. all ! and lots of CO. (deadly)
tune it out doors.
the carb must be tuned to burn all the fuel.
and webers are the hardest to tune. (But run better than all, once tuned) the Harley CV carb is vastly more easy to tune. FYI.
we use a
wide band oxy sensor tool to tune carb now 100x more easy.
the tool was $1200 but not $140
what engine is there, G13? (most now, are upgraded)
the G13 has a mech, distributor. and the advancing weights must work like new. (not stuck"rust")
the dizzy must advance fully or carb tuning is a head to wall slam.
if the dizzy fails, it will not burn all the fuel. and will stink bad.
So using a timing light check the full advance.
the sammi FSM is free.
here it is.

weber 101 tuning is beyond the scope of any post here.

You know how you have to mash the gas to the floor to set the choke? Every time you do that, a little jet of gas is sprayed downward into the air stream going down the throat of the carburetor. I think the accelerator pump inside the carburetor is doing that. But it should be enough gas to start a cold engine if your choke is adjusted right. You can observe the gas going down the carburetor... bore, I guess is the right word. (Throat is a common term, air horn is the correct term.) But to observe it, you have to take the air breather off, hold the choke valve open, and look down the throat while you pull the throttle lever to wide open throttle. Just try it a couple of times, and see if gas is being sprayed down the carburetor's air horn. It may help to use a flashlight. Of course, this is all done with the engine off.
You didn't say how it ran once started and warmed up. Is the power and performance satisfactory? Hard to say if it's a fuel problem. If the problem is only hard to start when cold, it could be your choke not adjusted or working right. You could put in a manual choke, pretty simple kit. People often do this when they don't want to fool with the automatic choke. I'm an old geezer, but I for one am glad that carburetors are a thing of the past (even though my daily driver at present has a carburetor -'87 sentra). Fuel injection is much simpler, and easier to diagnose.
Selector lever stuck between two
Either the linkage is broken or the transfer case has broken. Visually inspect the linkage. If it is fine then there is a good chance its the T-case.
Doesn't seem to be getting
You don't say if it is something new! Several possibilities are: something in the fuel tank plugging the suction pipe......a dirty fuel filter in the rear.........or dirt getting into the carburetor jets............a bad catalytic converter that is plugged.

I just ran into this problem as I was rebuilding my 1.3 engine. When you put the mechanical pump back on, you have to be sure the rod that pushes against the pump is all the way in, check this with your finger, you should only feel about 1/4 inch of the rod, if you should feel more, turn the crank with a wrench until it goes in all the way. Then put your pump on making sure that you start both mounting bolts before you begin to tighten, as you tighten gently pull back on the top of the pump, so the lever will line up with the pumps push rod in the head. Your pump will work fine after that.
89 Suzuki samurai fuel issue
sounds like the electric fuel pump is failing the backfire is a result of a really lean fuel mixture, it is hard to say if u did any damage, most likely not because the pump is inside a anti-slosh baffle
