hey guys, got some questions with my carby. i think it shit itself it wont start, if i try to start it for to long it floods( of course) but then fuel comes out the side of the carby??? is that normal? i got a quote to rebuild it but i think $350- $450 is a bit high or is that a normal price? or is it just easier and cheaper to buy a new one if i can? sorry about all the questions any feed back would be much appreciated
cheers marc

ideally rebuild would be best but if you dont have the cash some guys will ell em off here in running condition sore one for $50 running perfect they said and $20 for an unknown so thats ur other option

i have the exact same problem!
its a little valve thats up the top l/h side on the carby. ( cars point of view ) my problem is the spring has lost its spinginess and wont seal it properly... cheapest way to fix it is g16b conversion =D

Other than zookieboi's suggestion a rebuild is your best bet. You buy a 2nd hand one and inherit someone else's problem. Or a vitara carb. Don't know which one is utilised though

looks like its a rebuild then cos i dont think a conversion is cheaper then $450. thanks for the help guys
