Yea update! Considering you were talking about warped Mikunis in the Weber thread

[FullyZooked]

Crack is now repaired, took them 3 go's at it and two weeks.

I havent had a chance to drive it a great deal and test the crack in all conditions but touch wood its ok...

Now to sort this Weber and we should be right. I hope to have it done by this afternoon as we have a big 4wd run this afternoon with big variety of 4by's. And I havent weheeled in ages!!!

True story:

Hit 4th gear at 70kmh, with foot flat car will slowly pull to 110kmh at around 4,000rpm. Soon as you hit 5th it drops back to 3400-3500rpm and it seems to loose a fuckload of power?! Not just a little due to gearing and rpm drop I'm talking it feels like someone hit the "squirt fuckloads of juice in button" my engine struggles to accelerate in 5th.

Do Vitaras run a 5th gear switch? Connected to carby?

What was up with this issue?

Cooling system has been pressure flushed 3 times now. Heater is now warm but not hot. New heater core is needed that is a bad job that can wait for the time being.

JrZook, no top end was caused by the Magic Mikuni overfueling.

What was found:

Vitara Mikuni's top and bottom plate are aluminium, middle or fuel bowl is plastic. Bad idea. Heat expansion rate differ yada yada...

After the 267th dissasemble I found the bottom plate to be warped. This allowed Vacuum from the secondary pot line to be introduced to the secondary air corrector port. This turned my air corrector port into another active fuel circuit, even at idle.

At Idle the the port found below the butterfly on the secondary was continually feeding fuel. This happened at all throttle positions and naturally was much worse under high Vacuum conditions.

If anyones carb Vitara has suddenly or over time stated getting worse and worse fuel milage this would be the first thing to check. I wish someone knew about it before I spent hours and hours pulling my hair out.
