AboutDavid Scott Expertise Questions regarding the advisability of different kinds of modifications to Samurai/Sidekick/Tracker or various kinds of off-road usage. I will not attempt to do more than provide links for questions about other Suzukis such as Vitara, Grand Vitara, etc. I may or may not give generalized advice for newer models, but have no experience regarding newer models, and will not attempt to give more than the most generalized answers for questions regarding vehicles later than '93 manufacture. I will however, if possible, provide a link that will help you contact a professional in your region.
Experience I've been a professional mechanic for over thirty five years, live in the center of the Rocky Mountains, and have been active in exploring the old mining/4wd roads for decades. I've specific experience with Samurai modification, because that's my personal vehicle.
Education/Credentials Thirty five years of advanced, intensive classes for experienced professionals only. Manufacturer seminars and training classes averaging four to six weeks per year. I'm now a professional heavy duty fleet mechanic, and no longer deal with issues such as MIL (check engine) lights

Question hi when the choke backs off the revs drop to about 1500 then continually fluctuate between 1500 and 2000 revs. there’s a switch on the carbie with a couple of vacuum hoses coming off it when i removed the hose that runs back to the accelerator part of the carbie it seemed to temp fix the problem is there some way of testing that switch and what is it called and is there any thing else that could be causing the problem
Answer What kind of suzuki? What year? What engine? Which switch on the carb? There are more than one to the best of my knowledge.
You really need to get access to a factory manual, because without more technically precise descriptions, I have no way of determining which switch you're talking about. If it's not a USA model, I have no way of getting access to information.
