i also have to pump the accelerator about 10 times to get it started.
just wondering if all sj's are a pain to get started and warmed up or mines just a bigger heap than i thought

Thanks matt...
Are they easy to adjust?, mine wont have any of it if you don't pump itScottieJ wrote:Is it a standard 413 carb?
Sounds like your choke idle is a bit high and needs adjusting. Also you shouldnt need to pump the peddle that much, I never pumped mine before starting it, just gave it a little bit of throttle as it starts, they don't like really cold mornings and can take a while to run nice.
Shouldn't really take that long to warm up either, is there a thermostat fitted?
Well mines done 106k and who knows when the speedo packed uptwiss wrote:I'd say 20 minutes idling is a reasonable warm up time... if you drive it straight away it will warm up a lot quicker!
Definitely the auto choke on your carb I would say. It's a well know problem area on SJs and some Vitaras.
The carbs seem to just break at around 70k miles!
It was horrible when mine broke, sometimes it would get stuck with the choke in 1 place... burning a ton of fuel, idling at 3,000rpm...
Then other times it would get stuck with the choke in a different place, which ended up with the car overheating, and the engine would cut out as soon as you take your foot off the pedal...
Combined with the broken starter motor at the time.... PANIC!
Trying to brake for traffic lights at the bottom of a hill when you can't take your foot off the accelerator or the engine dies!
