I have a 1988 Suzuki Samurai that I use at the deer lease. It starts and runs fine for the most part, but on occasion it is having fuel-related issues that cause it to die. When the problem occurs is usually after it warms up and has been running a while. It will accelerate up through the gears without issue, but when I approach a stop and engage the clutch to downshift, the RPM's will drop until the engine dies. It won't remain running at low/idle RPM when I get to the stopping point. It re-starts after a few tries, and runs fine as long as I am accelerating and keeping the RPM's up.
The carburetor was replaced and adjusted thinking that was the problem last season, and it runs better but still has this issue on occasion. I'm thinking it might be rust/junk in the fuel line, but the fuel filter was also inspected and replaced and it did not have much junk in it. Maybe the fuel pump intake at the bottom of the gas tank is getting clogged up?
Any ideas?
