Hijet 993cc 1994 wont run without choke

Hi all,

We have recently purchased a Daihatsu Hjiet Pickup 993cc 1994. It starts but only with choke fully out! Has anyone had this problem, if so how did you go about it?


Thanks

Joe

Most of us are running EFi Hijets.

But normally a carb engine that will only run on choke has clogged up idle jets.

Okay, i was thinking they made need a clean.

It is normal for a carburettor engine to start from cold with the choke fully out. That is what it is for.

I know that, it won't run after 10-20 mins of running. Like HighlyJetted said the carb needs a clean

Nice to see someone else with a carbed 993!

It's got the most complicated carb I've ever seen (admittedly I'm used to motorbikes) but it's easy enough to get it reinstalled after removing it if you take care of where all the vacuum lines have to go...

Ok thanks. We are going to take lots of pictures and mark it all up so it all goes back perfect.

If the carb bowls have rust in them then you need to address you fuel filter and rotting petrol tank. Rotting petrol tanks are normal on Hijets
