Date code carb identification (3 Viewers)

[BramBr]

So I'm a complete novice when it comes to anything car related. I've been looking to replace the carb on my 1993 Suzuki samurai and found someone selling a couple of second hand carbs.

I wanted to clean them out and make sure all the seals etc where replaced but I can't find any part numbers on them.

I need a kit to rebuild it but I have no idea what to buy. On the bottom it says 3A for this one.

This is the bottom of the 3A carb I'm looking to identify.

And here is the second carb this one says 3B on the bottom they are both Aisan carbs and look similar to the one currently on my car.

This is a thread in a Toyota Landcruiser FJ40 forum bro. Probably a Samurai forum out there somewhere though. Good luck!

Hello! I wonder how many Samis there are in Belgium?

You might have better luck with your question in this section for Suzuki Samuris - Suzuki - https://forum.ih8mud.com/forums/suzuki.182/

Good luck!

Hello friends, what kit do you recommend for a carburetor code 5J29 is mounted on my FJ40 / 79, they did a demogged but I don't know if it is well done. What thread would you recommend me to see what I am missing and improve what is done. Important notes:
* The previous owner kept the factory mounted carburetor code 9B12.
* The vehicle had HAC and I wish to recover it.
* My vehicle travels from heights at sea level up to 6000 meters.

While I cannot see the insulator between the fuel bowl and the throttle body to be 100% certain, the primary throttle shaft and the elbow bend on the vacuum secondary are both indicative of the world market 61012 carb. You should be fine ordering an FJ60 carb kit.

If I'm reading this correctly, this is a 1979 kit:

So I'm going to order this kit: Carburetor Rebuild Kit - Fits 1/1979 - 4/1980 FJ40/55 (CARB61102) - https://cruiserteq.com/carburetor-rebuild-kit-fits-1-1979-4-1980-fj40-55-carb61102/#tab-3

Just asking for a sanity check before I pull the trigger. Thanks~

I'd hold off on pulling that trigger. That does not look like a 1979 carb...

Compare the number on the aluminum tag to the microfiche. The tag is more relevant than the mfg date. I have posted this at least a dozen times.

Thanks. I'm relatively new so I'm trying to figure this out. I've rebuilt an old Scout II carb in the past, but it's been 25 years.

If I don't have access to the microfiche, what other options do I have?

I’m assuming there’s a link to a digital file in the FAQ. If I had to take a guess, I’d guess your tag says 60191.

I could use a little help identifying this one. I can make out 4 A 6 that is stamped on it. It seems to me like this is missing some parts and before I go ahead and order any I want to actually know what this one is.

This is one of those threads that whoever enters it should read from the first post… the first post is one that everybody should give a like

There are little nuggets of great info like that from Mark that should also get many likes but never seem to

This is the first in a series of threads regarding how to identify production date of various Cruiser components.

Toyota (Aisan) carburetors from ~1963-present have a date code stamped on them.

It is stamped in small letters on the top front of the carb.

The format is Y M DD. Y is the last digit of the year (4=1964,1974,1984...), M is a letter of the alphabet corresponding sequentially to the month (A=jan, B=feb,...), and DD is the numeric day of the month.

Aisan throttle bodies on EFI vehicles have the same date code.
OEM fuel pumps also use the same date code.

Carbs prior to approx. 1963 have a funky letter code that I have not yet been able to make sense of. Anybody?

Pics to follow.

Is it me, but why do people on this site always have to point out that you should read the post first?...irritating. I wouldn't be asking for help if they answer was apparent. I did read the whole thread and I can determine what the code means. Where I'm having trouble is using that info and comparing it to SOR's carb identifier page. The date code and the pics on SOR's site don't seem to match up....this is why I asked for help.

 

[thebigredrocker]

It's not a 1964 or 1974 carb so it must be a January 6th 1984.

 

[JohnnyC]

Here's a 1987 carb. Note that the stamping location is changed from top surface to front edge of air horn. The location changed about 1979.

The code translates to 1986 October 1st. That means the truck is registered as a 1987 model year.

As stated by rocker not 64 or 74

Date code on side … vac secondary … makes it an 84

Didn’t see that you gave a like to the great information from the first few posts

If it doesn’t match the carb on sor that’s because either it’s been cobbed together from other years or it’s from a market other than NA

If you gave more information in your post about going to sor … you could have gotten a different response… but you used the information from Jim but didn’t give a like to his posts

Its showing that you appreciate the time he took to give us this information… most posts from Jim or Mark or Downey should be liked when they give this information that otherwise would not be known

Good idea!
IIRC, when this thread started (2007), we did not have the ability to Like posts.

I will share this w/ others on here, other forums are not nearly as helpful. I was looking for help with another vehicle (cough-BMW-cough) and did some searching, found very few threads related to my issue, but did find one on a forum I am a member of. I added my question to the thread. When I came back, the mods had moved my post out and started a new thread. So immediately, my issue was separated from the previous knowledge on the issue. When I commented on the new thread, a mod said I had "thread-jacked" the old thread and I should always start a new thread.
Um, okay...
