Hey dude which way have you mounted your weber?? Sounds like the fuel bowl is at the front of your engine. I run the weber and have mounted it so the bowl is at the rear of the engine. Stalls on steep declines but i find it bareable since gravity is pulling the car down hill not uphill. Try turning the carb 180 deg for a rear mounted fuel bowl.

Cheers Dan

Hey jrzook i think i was chattin with you on outers yesterday.i will be turning it 180 this weekend but im checkin to see if anyone is using or has tried anything diferent.
You looked any further into the SU at all?

I think it should already have one..lol
Do you mean an electric fuel pump instead of the mechanical one?

[Ashley]

thats right

[mrmagoo]

Nah apparently its a common problem with webbers cos of the fuel bowl position. dont think electric would fix problem unless im wrong.
OK back to question, does any one run anything else apart from standard carb or webber on there 1.3L zooks? just after other options apart from these two.
thanks guys

[steve]

standard carby would fix your problem

[mrmagoo]

Hey steve, i bought the car with the webber on it so i dont know what standard is like. Is there a massive difference between standard and the webber in the way they perform?

[Taff]

the standard one is really good on angles.

G'day I have a 1994 vitara with the carby 1.6L. The carby will be different to yours but I had the same problem, it kept dieing on hills me mate had an ashdown 11psi fuel pump so i hooked it up the ignition via a switch now with the fuel pump on the car will idle on steep hills no prob but when i turn the pump off she starts to die. So you could at least give an electric fuel pump a go.

another problem that can cause this is the needle and seat may need adjusting or replacing.

hope this helps.

I have a 1.6 Vitara carby on my zook, I think its off an early 90's model. Big improvement over stock 1.3, runs & idles a lot better... but because I haven't finished my mods & the zook's not on the road I haven't had a chance to tackle any hills yet.

[steve]

zukchik, sit in it and get your mates to tip it over and see if it still runs

Hahahahaa.... I could almost tip it over myself, doesn't have much weight in it at the moment

[steve]

will be good to see some progress shots

Pfft... what progress?

I need someone to take over my workload so I can have more free time to finish it! Plus I get lazy & unenthusiastic and spend too much time on the computer

Anyone want a casual job to help make Australia's best selling sandboards?? LOL

[steve]

yeah i'm the same, get slack and sit on the net instead of doing real work.

so what's the job? do i have to be in SA to do it? Can i just sit here, draw pictures and email them to you ?

[mrmagoo]

damn thread stealers..!!!!
Zukchik--- what sort of mods did you need to do for it to fit? I mean, did you have to make an adapter plate or is it a straight swap?

[Bruce]

Yes Steve stop chatting up Zukchik.

[steve]

hey come on, she was flirting with me crazy like

Hey mrmagoo how are you...

Joe from 4Play Offroad in Kilsyth (VIC) did my carby swap ... There are a couple of things you have to do (and not do!) so best you seek his (or someone else's) expert knowledge before doing it yourself. I can't remember the details but it should be pretty easy to do once you have the right instruction Give Joe a call 03-97614694

Best of luck!

Bruce and steve.... you spend wwway too much time on here! I think you should both move to SA and give me a hand with my business so I can go work on my zook
