The SJ410 that I'm working on came with a box of bits and pieces that may or may not be Suzuki related. This carb was in the box. Its nothing like the carb on the 410 at the moment, and I dont think its like the carb on my '87 SJ413 (but thats 300 ks away so I cant compare it). Anyone know whats its for? Its a Mikuni .

Doesn't look like any Suzuki carby I've ever seen.

I'm pretty sure that's off a Super Carry.

Heres another pic showing the other side and the back. Its a lot more complicated than the manual choke carby thats on the SJ410 right now. It actually looks in good nic apart from the dust. Do you want it Sideways? Maybe we could do a swap for that gearcase you mentioned.

that carby wont fit on a sierra f10a manifold as the bolt spacing is different , it will only fit on a super carry manifold .

I don't suppose your pile of bits includes a 1l gearbox? The early ones use the same casing as an LJ. The later "big case" ones are very rare and can be turned into a 5 speed.

The spare I've got is from a Sierra.

some of the "big case" boxes dont have the bearing housings machined in the back .. , and as you said the big case box that you can drop the 1.3 5 speed gearset in with the 1 litre input shaft are bloody rare as rocking horse shit..

That carb. looks the same as the one that was on my MG410 Maruti.

^ That might be it!

It's basically the same as this but with a different cable mount.

What's the bolt spacing and throat diameter?

[shoeboxer]

Mine has a 32mm throat, bolt spacing about 72mm centre to centre. It also has the vertical cable mount the same as the pics above.

The engine in mine says Maruti on the rocker cover. Other bits I got included a head with intake manifold, dizzy, starter, and radiator. (This carby might fit the spare head. I haven't tried). Whether these bits were off the original engine or are leftovers from the engine in it now I don't know.

Pinning down the model of this car is proving hard. The bonnet is from a 1.3 litre which it obviously isnt. . The firewall plate says its an '84 F10A but It has front drums which I'm told ended in 83. It also has a central handbrake drum. Its a 4 speed. It has a pretty simple looking carb with manual choke but has an odd looking adaptor between the carby and manifold that suggests that the top end is a collection of parts too.

(edit. Ha! Changed rocket cover to rocker cover! A rocket it sure aint.)

If it's a Maruti dizzy then it'l be electronic ignition with vacuum advance which is pretty cool. Suzuki F10a dizzys are just centrifugal advance and points. Front drums were type 1 (until 8/83) only. Not like it's hard to swap a diff though. I'd say it's not uncommon for a Sierra to cop a drum front end when someone wants to keep the discs for another project.

All suzuki built 1ls had the transfer hand brake and were 4 speeds. Stick your head under there and see if they put the maruti gearbox in too. The small case box will have the same front casings (different extension housing) as the LJ, big case looks the same as a 1.3l 5 speed. It's cool to have the 5 speed but kinda pointless unless you have a strong motor and do a lot of highway driving. 1ls like to rev. A good 4 speed 1l will be no slower than a 1.3l but they are very noisy on the highway. A double bonus of the 5 speed conversion is 1st gear lower. 1ls have a diabolically high 1st (3.163:1 gosh I need to get a life, I know that off by heart!) where as 5 speeds are 3.652:1.

Has it got a steel dash? No brake booster? Got a sway bar or sway bar mount on the front tow point? Switch or non-switch transfer? Solid (skinny, like an LJ) or hollow tail shafts?

Do you want that casing I've got?

I should have checked this before. The big carby fits the manifold on the spare head. The dizzy fits too and yes its electronic with vac advance. I dont know why this setup is not on the car. Perhaps the previous owner wanted simplicity. Visually, the head appears to be sound. It has no corrosion at all.

The carby on the SJ40T right now is much simpler and the manifold is very slightly different. (The carby actually sits at an odd backwards tilt.) I haven't been able to find an engine number. (I think its supposed to be on the passenger side near the flywheel timing hole but I cant see it.).

Steel dash, No booster, no sway bar or mount (unless it looks like a steering damper mount), no transfer switch, hollow tail shaft.

Sideways, you said the diff might not be original. Is it therefore possible the 2 diffs could be missmatched? I've only given this a couple of short runs up and down the driveway but there does seem to be some rear wheel spin in 4L as if the rear is 'winding up'. (But it could be the slope causing this).

I might still want the gear case, but It'll be a couple of weeks before I know if my repair holds up.
