Hi,
I've got an 89 Vitara (G16A) 1600, 8V.
It has a Mikuni carburetor (original part, probably the model is 67871) but it is Broken.
I read about 20 topics but no found how to solve my problem.
Someone write that I have to buy the "kit carburetor repair", but I prefer to buy another used carburetor.
Can you help me to find It? :D

Thank you very much!!!!

The Mikuni carburetor that is on your car (1.3L Vitara) is the same carburetor that is on the Suzuki Samurai (1.3L). What is 'broken' with your carburetor, so that your carburetor cannot be fixed or cleaned?? Normally, rebuilt kits will only include gaskets and diaphragms.
Where are you located?

The 1.6 carb is quite different to the 1.3 carb. These carbs are quite old now so you would be lucky to get a repair kit or a good used original carb. eBay or a local internet forum is probbaly your best bet for a used carb but you may need to adapt a later carb. Alternatively, for road use, you could use a Weber carb conversion.

Thank you

Thank you so much guys.
You are very corteous.
I'm Italian.
The mechanic is trying to disassemble the Mikuni, and I will get him Bog's informations.
I know that the value of 89 vitara is minus than a Weber, but I have to fix the carburetor because that machine has a sentimental value for me....
I will let you know if It will be fixed with the Kit Repair.

Thank you very much, and the best regards for you all.

the list
Carbs-Suck !

in my experience.
old carbs can be in bad shape. (too many unskilled fiddly fingers fracking it up)
missing parts
hacked parts,
drilled out parts.?
wrong KIT INSTALL, OOPS !!!
so, I buy a spare carb and make 1 good carb that is not missing parts (no hacks)
then tune that carb. (after proving i know all orifice sizes, that are stock, i work hard to find that out.)
If car has open exhaust i must then tune carb for the NON stock exh.
that is how i do classic cars and bikes.

Can show examples. many.
