Hi all.
was just thinking what are some good/possible/viable carbs swaps for the suzuki engine's we commonly deal with. I know su carbs are used a lot, they are reliable and cheap. also know of webber carbs, but these are expensive as far as I know. what else do people run, or what do you know? would be good to get some info, and just have a good discussion on the matter

On the 1300 i have ran Hyundai Pony, Daihatsu Charade and Subaru Justy.

All are direct bolt on swaps, all pipes, wires and cables match all most exactly. Only difference is i always fitted a manual choke. Choke cable had to be fitted and i just joined the old hot water feed/return pipe together.

I've also heard of a Nikki carb of some VWs being fitted.

Only swap i know of for a 1.0 is the SU HIF38.

well, I swapped my carb on the f10a for a su hs6, and it fired up, haven't really had it running for a long enough time to see how it performs, but it was easy enough to put on there, apart from having to extend the choke and the accelerator cable's

Did the carbs of the charade improve performance

these are the nikkis that people use, i know a couple of people who use them and they seem pretty good! the glass float bowl is a cool touch as well!
