[ben.williamson]

i have a samurai, i'm new to zukis

basicly after a lot of water, mud and steep hills at manby on sunday the zuki won't/ dosent tick over very well and wont start.

the tick over seams to be running on three

the starter dosen't work urn the key and nothing bridge the conections with a skrewdriver and at best occaisional wissing

clutch feels rough when bump started

squeeeeling fan belt any advice cheers ben

i can fix the fan belt

sounds like problems i had with my sammy mate,

it could be possible that the plate on the gearbox could be missing, and its all clogged up with mud/dirt/water,
the plate is underneath where the housing fastens to the engine, its about 2inches x 4-5 inches and it bolts on,

on top of the sammy gearbox(clutch housing) is a rubber grommit, take it out and jet wash it out, you will be amazed what comes out.

take off the dizzy and spray with wd40, the starter should be ok when you jet wash through the inspection hole

ok ben bit of a list u got there lol
ok
tick over is most likey ya carb do your self a favour and bin it and fit an sj
change your plugs and leads as this will also help with the rough tickover too
starter problem get on fleabay and buy a "clicky starter kit" this shud help u unless its totally goosed
clutch prob. is the inspection bung in the bell housing? and the [PooPoo] plate under the bell housing?

just like to add it ticks over now, but on sunday no chance, also very low, on sunday it was ticking over at 2000 till i touched the carb/throttle cable and then very low and still low now

on sunday at manby must have stalled 6 times on its own and no starter

any more info on clutch area???????????

i went green laning last week and this week (no use in between) the clutch is different some how ???????


also starter i will look onj flea bay

[ben.williamson]

also before this weekend it was running sweet as a nut i would say like new ?

none of the problems as above

[muddyzook]

Would still go with Si and say stick an SU on it, my carb started off fine, till one day in the water then that was it! You could never tell if today was going to be a god day or a bad day. SU on and it run's like a kitten.

[ben.williamson]

so why do you think it doesn't start? Is it starter motor broken problem, it'll bumb off very easiliy just not from the key.

Most probably the solanoid sticking.

Get the starter off and clean out the solenoid - very straightforward job :)

[ben.williamson]

how do i clean out the solinoid

the muddy water was deep 3 foot and i played all day

in the water every half an hour

is it a good idea to spay the window thing on clutch

[Damon]

Remove the starter, on the side of it is a "sticky-out-thing" this is the solenoid.  Remove the 2 screws that hold this on, clean it all out, very lightly grease the plunger and refit :)

and it most likely still not work!! lol welcome to the wonderfull world of suzuki off roading!! :twisted:

[muddyzook]

You've got that right Si, I now have 2 so I can be rebuilding one whilst filling the other with mud. Got it down to a fine art can change on in about 10 mins  :D

What do you mean by the window thingy on the clutch?

[benwilliamson]

Got in it last night befor i tryed cleaning it out just turned the key and it started. it sticks every so often but seems ok. the only problem now is the tick over wen cold is fine but wen warm struggles. 0.5 rpm and cuts out evey so often. ive tryed ajusting the throttle cable on the carb end but it doesnt really help. their is a hammer like throttle which hits what i thought was a stopper but the more i turn up the throttle the more the stopper moves, any ideas, i wanted to go play in the mud on sunday at kirton lol cheers
