- The Sammy left me stranded so I pushed it home, that was exciting. Then troubleshooting kinda went sideways, but we got her fixed, DIY style.

Jumper cables …
1. Minus at the donator battery to a large naked chassis surface, engine lift eye is a good option. Wait a few seconds to get both vehicles at the same static electricity level.
2. Plus/positive from the sonar vehicle to the plus/positive of the receiving vehicle. Do NOT connect donor and receiver to battery negatives.
3. Wait a few seconds to allow the currents to even out.
4. Start the receiving engine.
5. Remove cables in reverse order.
5.1 Remove receiver positive, then donor positive.
5.2 Remove receiver negative, then donor negative.
Why this?
Because this method eliminates any sparks that might ignite fumes/gas evaporated from the dead battery. Igniting that gas might cause a fatal explosion.
I'm pretty sure I hooked up to the Sammy first. My Jeep battery is brand new. I've heard that they can produce hydrogen but If a spark is gonna occur its gonna be on the last cable you hook up. I guess I've hooked to so many batteries doing stereos and alarms I don't see it being that dangerous. If there's any draw in the vehicle you get a spark just hooking up you cars own cables, what protects you then? Im not saying it cant happen, I'm sure it does in rare cases when a battery is off gassing and the stoichiometric ratio is perfect. Now you got me curious how often that happens. I've never seen it. Also we used to get 12v alarm batteries by the pallet, with 15k accounts we prob changed 50 batteries a day between all of us, and those sit in a half a square foot metal box that you'd think would trap those gasses. They're only 7AH but more than capable of sparking. Seen some pretty bad ones too. They'll swell up like a football lol. But regardless, you're right, I should be a better example so I'll try to remember from now on.
Watched a video last night looks like we on the same journey on the samurai 😊
That's awesome, they're usually fun because of how simple they are, mine's been throwing me a few curveballs lately, hope you're having better luck lol.
Rear lights …
As you know I have a Gen4 Jimny.
I highly recommend anyone to upgrade the crappy drone and rear halogens (indicators, position/brake, and reverse bulbs) to GTR2 LED bulbs from HeadlightRevolution. (No affiliation.)
The difference is nothing but massive!
The EGR …
Where I live we don’t have annual checkups, MOT’s. So when my wife’s 🖕 2004 Explorer showed up with igniting issues I plugged the EGR and added the best spark plugs we could afford - problem solved. It still runs like a newborn infant.
When I plug the vacuum line going to the egr, the idle drops now, because it used to connect a nipple that had positive pressure, not sure if it was exhaust gas cuz it wasn't very hot. Anyways, before one was pushing and the other pulling, now that it's blocked off it doesn't push, so the vacuum is sucking against a wall and it drops the idle.
you can mount a winch on the wall in your garage and use it to pull you car inside
Lol right. Luckily the Samurai is so light, but if my driveway was at any more of an incline I prob couldn't do it.
I didn't want to comment before becuase i'm not that experineced, but i had an issue with mine long time ago, and the behavior was more or less the same, the car had a hiccup every time it got started... what i discovered was that in my case, the issue was because 1 of the spark cables was broken, then thing is that i noticed it after i spent like 3 days looking all over the engine.
so, it makes sense if it's the coil, can't wait for the next chapter to see if your issue solved 🤞
It runs again with the new coil, still rough at idle until it warms up. Went to mess with it last night and the carb was dripping. I assumed it was gas but then smelled it and it was coolant, dripping right off the throttle linkage, not even sure how that's possible but I think I narrowed it down to a bad choke diaphragm (which was just replaced). We'll see. Thanks for the comment, hope you're doing well!
@@FixLife119 really? Damn that's a really good plot twist 😂
I'm sure you already thought about this, but did you checked the hoses?
@@luisrvf Yes sir, none of the hoses were leaking, although there's a couple that have seen better days lol.

When I was racing my and my kids go-carts (using VP-10) I too had to adjust the carburetor too due to the weather conditions of the day. 😁
Yeah I bet. All carbureted airplanes have a mixture knob, mainly for altitude changing the barometric pressure, but humidity and temp all affect the density altitude.
@@FixLife119
VP-10 has liquid oxygen in it. When I used it in my 2-stroke weed cutter my neighbor walked up to me asking what weed cutter I was using. It was revving like nuts!
I told him, it’s not the machine, it’s the fuel. Damn, how fun that moment was!
@@BorisEkner lol, that's awesome. Basically built in nitrous.
It do have a fuel filter it’s in the back behind the back right tire it’s screwed on to the frame.
Right. I found that a while back. I used to think it was just a sediment bowl but in the video I'm editing now I get under there and it does actually have the filter element inside it. Mine says "Made in China" on it lol.

Electricity is like air - if available it will find a short cut.
Yes sir, short cut and short circuit lol.
Sparks at the wrong location …
Some time ago I think I told you about the German guy who made a PhD professor on vehicle electricity.
He basically was electrical connection isn’t good enough. But how much of it you have is.
- To my understanding he used an older Merc C-Class as an example. I.e., lots of electronics failing after less than 15 years, all due to copper corrosion in the connectors.
Electrical connection isn’t enough to understand, but how much is too.
Right. I know I'll never know everything about electricity. I think it pretty much runs the universe, well frequencies...
@@FixLife119
Always make certain you have the best electrical connection. If you do that, it will be good enough.
Good enough for what? lol
I would go back to timing ? May just need to adjust the distributor.
I just checked it after installing the coil. It's right around 12°. I believe stock wants 10° then 1 ° additional for every 2k ft elevation, so I should be at 11 but the higher I go the better she runs. I did a video on it a little while back.
I think that Weber is overkill. (Weber makes BBG’s too … just say’n.)
How much is an original carburetor for this tiny
Ya know, I'd be thinking the exact same thing if it didn't run so good when I got it. Thing ran like a top, I just don't know what the heck changed, and I'm too stubborn not to figure it out lol.
Is there somewhere you could find how many Samurai’s are still registered for daily driving in USA? According to AI there are several thousands, but that not the “accuracy” I’m looking for. Do you know better than my AI app?
Wow, only several thousand in the whole US? I wasn't able to find anything more accurate but that's not many.
@@FixLife119
My fascination is that there are still Samurai enthusiasts like you who cares so much for this car that they restore and pamper these vehicles as if they were their babies.
-Not many other car brands or models have a similar fan base.
As Suzuki Cars left USA in the early 1990’s and you guys can’t buy the later models, like Gen3 or Gen4, you’re stuck with Gen2. As you are, it’s a perfect storm for the ones who truly like these little ones.
Over time some cars creates a fan base, the Samurai is one of them. And every time I see one of these enthusiasts they bring a smile to my heart for their passion, interest, dedication.
Here’s my take on why I got a Gen4.

@@BorisEkner I honestly just love the simplicity. Such a simple vehicle and yet I have all these problems lol, good thing it's not complicated!
Hi, what's the name of that kind of magnetic lamp on 17:09
I believe the brand is Braun. It's from Harbor Freight. I've had it for years and it hasnt broken yet. I don't think they have this exact one anymore but a very similar one. I use it so much!
@@FixLife119 what’s the keyword if I have to looking for it? Thank you anyway 🙏🏽
@@ViskoEskavianto13 I found it on Amazon: "Braun 500 Lumen LED Rechargable Magnetic Handheld Foldable Slim Bar Work Light". That's the newer version of mine. There's also a different brand that looks like the older version like mine but it has lights on both sides. You can light up one side or both. It's the NextLED NT-7544. I don't know how good the quality is, I just know on the older version of the Braun one that I have, mine still works after years and a coworker actually kept his in his tool pouch and it didn't break.
at a quick glans it appears factory Ish an didn't cost much, nice like it, as you drove down the road in complete luxury, was you thinkin you might get hit in the head? bikini top an no doors, im just sayin. i want to do an experiment, will you help? im going to not watch any of the add videos clik out as soon as i can. After a month maybe or two three will see, we'll have a dollar amount figure, then i'll watch the whole video then clik out, do for a month two three then get number to see if it went up. then watch the add thorgh an going to the site. see if anything pays more or what ever, they say that if someone pays for add skip payment no add thing ? add revenue pays more. so say youtube pays you enough money to buy the i dont want adds, every youtube channel you watch that gets add revenue will get payed more. any of that make since, wanna do it?
I could try. I'm in such a habit of not watching ads I involuntarily hit skip without even thinking about it. Does anyone actually want the ads? I cast the everything to my TV. I think it automatically chooses skip for me because when I house sit for my friend and cast to her TV sometimes the ads are over an hour long, it's crazy!
@@FixLife119 im not sure if it would count if you watched the adds good call, i was thinkin id watch the adds but maybe two would be better
I think I need to go in and mess with the settings, my brother said there was only 1 ad and that wasn't much for 40 minutes. Idk
@@FixLife119 mine had four maybe guess i never thought about counting adds
@@numbskullskills I think the more there are the more revenue, not sure. Don't even know if you can adjust that. I'll mess with it and see.
