Toyota 3K Carburetor Install on Suzuki Samurai!

We Install the Certified Machine Toyota 3K carburetor on a Suzuki Samurai. This kit is very nicely put together and includes everything needed for the job. The process is well explained in the included instructions but we thought a Hwy83 Suzuki install video would be icing on the cake! Step by step we show the procedure of removing the stock carb, deleting unnecessary parts & installing the 3K carb + components. This is an easy and simple swap for the problematic stock Samurai carburetor. On or Off road the 3K carb will perform excellent.
To order contact Certified Machine & let them know Hwy83 Suzuki sent you for preferred treatment 😀👍

ATTN: Certified Machine I bought your product as a result of this video and a few reviews. Tony is funny, good personality but more importantly he is excellent at transferring the knowledge to complete installation of these products to the consumer. If I was selling a product like this, I'd write a script and a check for Tony.

[@Hwy83SUZUKI]

Thanks for the great feedback! We appreciate you watching and enjoying. Please forward to Gary @ Certified machine and let him know!

Worst mistake I ever made was buying that Chinese knock-off POS from Certified Machine! Great complete kit. Not a real 3k. Shaft seal leaked- found out those carbs have no shaft seal. Sent the carb back for them to inspect, they readjusted the mixture to compensate for the vacuum leak, never “found” a leak, then admitted there was no seal, “ never had a problem before”, and sent it back. Wanted a refund and got a run-around. The real 3k would work great , but install a Weber and rejet for a 1.3- much better way to go! Great video tho.

[@speedfreak8200]

@@mattboyer7812 the carb I got from cm is so rich I don't need the choke to start cold 35° F Gary told me the rich condition could be caused by numerous issues but he said I was welcome to re-jet but he doesn't have a clue about where to buy or what type of jets I need.i thought by paying extra I would have a carb that was jetted correctly... just buy a cheap carb you will be fine, piss on circumcision machine!!!!!!!!

I was going to put a weber on my Suzuki and stumbled upon your 3k install video. Long story short, bought the kit, installed in in about 90 minutes and couldn't be happier with the results! Absolutely complete.....everything fit perfectly and while I let the motor turn over to check for leaks, it started before I had it completed. Never had a conversion fit so well and work so good. Thanks to Certified Machine for the kit and for Hwy83 Suzuki for posting the video. Great Job!!!

M.W. I always run water choke Webers, I port match the manifold( die grinder with burr bit) & with 2" exhaust I definitely notice more power, but I'm wanting better fuel economy. The webers are always too rich, Have the 3k carbs been rejetted or is it not necessary?

I installed a Certified Machines 3K on my 87 Samurai with the 8v 1.6L swap I inherited from my late brother-in-law. I haven't had any issues but I was worried that I was fueling the carb with an electric pump 4-7 psi 38gph. Gary said the carb is good for both 1.3 and 1.6 engines and needs 3-5 psi. Great video! Recommend doing the harness delete with this install.

Tony, how about a video on engine transplants? These engines are 20+ years and parts are hard to come by due to Suzuki not being in the US. Something like using Ford, Chevy, Honda, Toyota... into our Trackers/Samurai's. There are some old Chevy swaps, but nothing "new". I've been thinking about the new turbo 4s from Ford for my 1996 Tracker

whats the purpose of this install? more power, better throttle response, or just to replace a messed up zuk carb? thanks man.... fantastic install btw .

[@Hwy83SUZUKI]

The stock samurai carb is extremely over emission controlled and the most complicated device on the vehicle. Usually the first thing a new owner is looking to replace. This is the easiest and most affordable replacement for stock carb. Not a power or performance upgrade.

Hi from France, Super video, thank you for this demonstration. I bought a Samurai with this almost new carburetor that was mounted on it. The Sam starts very well but I have gasoline odors, the spark plugs are black and I consume quite a lot. I've tried to adjust the carburetor, but apart from the choke adjustment screw and the idle adjustment screw, I can't seem to change the problem of too much fuel. Would you have any advice for me?

[@vwmountainman9701]

Very nice !!! How about a conversion from OBD 1 fuel injection to Carb setup & what all needs changed ???

[@digm0repaka]

Not sure why you would downgrade from fuel injection, but this depends on your particular setup. Different regions had different fuel injection systems. The early US fuel injection is a direct swap for a carb because the ignition was still mechanically adjusted. For the EU system which is the same as the later US system you need to also change the distributor for the carb version with a vacuum actuator and rpm advance weights.

How’s theses carbs do off-road I’ve got the Weber and it runs good but if you hit a bounce going up a hill it will flood out then half to hold it to the floor while cranking it and try it again

[@scottperkins3696]

Please clarify what Toyota 3K means ? I saw mention of 1978 Corolla but it was not affirmative. Why is this carb better than other options that have been used for several decades like the Webers and I also heard about some Harley Davidson carbs. There could be some pros and cons such as ability to tune mixtures or changing of jets for high altitude etc. Also ability to run well with the float bowl is at extreme angles like when off roading etc. I know some motorcycles and airplanes use a slide carbureator that I think is referred to as "constant velocity". that allow good running at extreme tilt attitudes etc.

[@gschimbeck]
