vitara carburetor plumbing

[mk1joe]

Hey guys me again.
Just gone and bought a standard vitara carburettor for my 1.6 8v. Fitted it to the engine but I'm a bit stuck on the fuel lines as the fuel pump I took the carb off is slightly different to mine. They both have 3 pipes coming out and I know what they all do. but I don't know what the pipes on the carb do ( there is 3 pipes on the carb aswell) should have concentrated more when I was taking it off. I can post pictures if needed.

Also the vitara air box rubs on my samurai bonnet. Has anyone had to overcome this problem before?

Thanks again for all the help guys

Out of these 3 pipes will the inlet be furthest to the top or furthest to the bottom? I think the middle one goes directly back to the tank.

Where does it rub? You could fit a 4u bonnet, has a bulge in it.

I used the SJ plenum chamber and piped to the air box, it had to have a spacer to fit the top of the carb

I used to run the 1.6 airbox with a 410 bonnet with the crossbrace removed and the 410 bonnet is lower than a samurai bonnet? I later swapped it out like robbie but found the 1.3 plenum doesn't properly fit and fouls the choke mechanism on on the 1.6 carb, I ended up adding a bit of tube to raise the plenum slightly to solve this.

As for the fuel lines I'm pretty sure there's a diagram on the forum somewhere that Darrell did.

Yeah that's what I used for a spacer

Cool, I guess that's what I will have to do.

As for the fuel lines I can't find anything anywhere, so I'm going to take an educated guess and say the lowest pipe will go into the float chamber and be direct feed from the pump. Sound about right?
