As a new Samurai owner who is also not super experienced, and whose vacuum lines were all over the place and messed up, I am finding this video very helpful in confirming that I am understanding the hose diagram. Thanks! Also, thanks to those with knowledge who have commented helpfully on the video. He's not the only guy you are helping!
Thanks for watching my video. I really hope you found it useful. And I too am thankful for the friendly people who are helping me learn the names if the components that I'm not familiar with. :D
@@kevine9986 You have to pull a lot of vacuum lines if you're going to pull the carburetor. There are helpful diagrams available, but if your Samurai has already been modified there's a good chance things aren't hooked up standard, and you don't necessarily know if a part is missing.

Hey that's actually really good information! Thanks for sharing that with me. If I run into shy problems with my EGR I'll be sure to check it out. Thanks! :)
I'm asking for advice. my samurai carburetor is the same as in the video. I have a problem with a cold start. the car starts easily even at minus temperatures. next, he turns on the choke, but after 2 seconds, the revs drop as if the choke had turned off and the engine behaves as if it were running on 3 cylinders. you can hear gasoline very much around the car - when the samurai warms up usually within 2 minutes, the revs go up again like with a functional choke and the engine starts to run evenly, as if everything is fine. the problem is the first minute, right after the cold start. I adjusted the valves, measured the pressure in the cylinders. he replaced all the vacuum hoses but the problem still persists. I'm asking for advice
This is an amazing opportunity to learn about vacuum hose but I still need a lot of help.. I have a 1984 Suzuki Jimny sj410 but just installed a 1.3 from a 1987 ss and I also installed a Toyota carburetor I will like to eliminate all the vacuum hoses ports.. will I get any problems from doing this??
Thanks for the great videos . I have the same year same engine and carb. I am going to restore it. Got the samurai for free. Your videos are very helpful, keep up the good work take care.
If I remember correctly, they were 1/4 inch I.D. vacuum lines. If you go to purchase the line at an auto parts store, make sure you are buying vacuum line not regular line. I was almost accidently sold washer fluid line which would have collapsed on itself as soon as the line was under a vacuum. I also suggest buying a good handful of hose clamps to make sure you don't end up with any leaks.
I am rechecking my vacuum lines on my 1987 SS and am wondering if your vacuum lines were stock, or in other words who hooked them up. I am in California and need them all to be stock and in the right location, so I don't want to alter mine if yours isn't correct and stock too. Thanks
Hey there Kip, this is Zack. I'm really happy that you took the time to watch my video. I also have an 87 SS. From my understanding, the vacuum lines I showed in the video were in the stock location. I have only owned this vehicle for about a month and have only just started to work on it. I also live in California, and the vehicle was bought/registered in California so it has always had to abide by C.A.R.B. standards, so I imagine that the vacuum lines are in the original factory locations. I really hope this has helped you. Good luck with replacing your vacuum lines. and keep an eye out for my next videos. :)
P.S. there is also a short vacuum line under the intake manifold that was not shown in this video. But in my video(that will soon be uploaded) where I remove the intake manifold it will be shown towards the end of the video.
@@mountainkeep5776 thanks for getting back to me. I am missing the VSV, and the VTV "loop" on the secondary throttle valve actuator so I am trying to figure out how to make it all work. Thanks for the video!
There could be A LOT of different things that could cause your engine to shut off when it's not at higher RPMs. The first thing I would check is to verify that all of your vacuum hoses are connected. Even the smallest vacuum leak can cause havoc on your engine. I would also verify that your idle speed is set to the proper idle speed. If I remember correctly the idle speed should be at about 900 RPMs
@@mountainkeep5776 yes, it has I am trying to pass smog and trying to find parts. I am slowly learning, every little thing helps. Some old Suzuki forums and FB has helped also. How's yours running now?
@@3006mv I'm actually very close to starting it for the first time. Waiting for my new alternator and new radiator to arrive. I'll have a video posted once it's up and running. I have tons of other videos following my current progress. I imagine I'll be driving it by the end of the month. :)
I, for the life of me, couldn't remember what it was. It was driving me nuts and I just blurted out what came to mind. Haha! Thank you for correcting me. It'll be easier for me to look up parts once my motor is rebuilt. I'll probably have a rebuild video uploaded within the next 2weeks. Thanks for your help. :)

Thanks! Your video helped me route some of the vacuum hoses that the previous owner of my Samurai removed or plugged.
@18:13 mixture control valve. This is a super helpful video! My vacuum system was entirely wrong! Third owner so…

The best thing to do is get you an aftermarket carbuerator and the only vacuum hose you will need is from carbuerator to distributor

Do you know that is the size for all the vacuum lines?
