Overheating & Heater Not Working? I've Got the Fix! \\ Suzuki Samurai 

Some heated seat inserts from Amazon might be a good idea for some snow wheeling!

Hello sir, very nice to your video. Can i know what carburetor have you use at your samurai? Thank you very much 🥰

The device above the thermostat housing, in the bracket, is the deceleration mixture control valve. Without the smaller vacuum line connected to it it isn't doing anything, you can remove the larger vacuum line from the manifold and cap it. When there is a momentary high vacuum spike from lifting off throttle that device will introduce a small amount of fresh filtered air from the bottom of it through the large vacuum line into the intake manifold to offset the rich spike caused by that. You may not even benefit from it with the propane conversion, I kept it when I converted to a Weber though. It doesn't rob any power, is totally passive and can help drivability so why not? Cheers!

@10:12. The defroster feels weak because the control is not set to defrost.

Instead of connecting the water tubes directly to bypass the faulty valve you can install a small shut off valve which you can open in winter and close in summer

I run a fail-safe 160* ( trail riding, slower speeds I want it to open sooner) your propane converter water needs to be separate and not restrictive. the heater core is selective. you can add a gas ball valve to manually open/close as needed. or replace the valve (75.00 +/-)

I did the same mod on my heater core box, but used a piece of aluminum heat tape to cover the hole. My defrost barely works too and I think I might have to take the dash apart to figure out how to fix that. Mine was full of pine needles.... like a ton of pine needles.

Ate you in nor cal? I'm in Rocklin. I plan on going to Zukicon. Had questions about a few things. You mind talking?

i think im going to go back to mechanical fan on mine, electric works to keep from over heating but doesnt really control the heat that well

I'm sure you could run a separate loop to the propane regulator. If you don't replace that heater valve you are going to have a hot foot.

مساء الخير مبدع وكذلك تعليقك مبسط. تمنياتي لك بالتوفيق Good evening Creative and your comment is simplified. wish you success

Hey I got me one of those long dryer vent brushes real soft and a can of coil cleaner for outside ac units did holes sprayed cleaner brushed it rinsed it she get warm and I have bikini top with back curtain from side by side. Liv in wv we get some snow and cold weather. Also my switch on fire wall bypassed for years. And heat only works on certain settings can’t remember without going out and looking it’s cold out now 3 am lol. Thanks for video’s love he channel long time subscriber. Stay safe from ur ole hillbilly buddy.

If you just turn the fan there should be a little resistance and should not spin freely. That's how I thought you check the fan clutch. Maybe i'm wrong? I replaced my control valve. Pretty easy, $70 bucks Great content👍

Hi there. Did you install the LROR rock sliders?

Hello just done the hole saw heater box cut and cleaned it out wasn’t real dirty.

what coolant do you use?

Yet again another good video...wish my heater wasn't removed by the previous owner...living I'm Michigan I'm going to look at other options probably 12v...just for fall trips

Snow wheeling you say??

I'd definitely pull that heater box out and give it s good clean , I can imagine a load of mouse hair and pooh blowing at your face when off roading.

The blower fan resistor is not allowing you to get all your fan speeds. It is up near the top of the duct housing on the drivers side. Also I would take the heat selector valve off on the fire wall and clean and lube it well. Mine had little bits of RTV stuck in it and wasn't allowing for a good flow. Just unbolt the 2 10mms and unclip the control wire. You can manually open and close it and look into the port that's pointed towards the heater core and check for debris.

Replace the heater control valve!!! It pays to have things work correctly.

You can put a piece of aluminum mesh gutter screen over the air intake at the base of the windshield to keep most of the junk out.

Why didn't you change out the water pump?

I had the opposite problem. My Sammy was running cooler and had trouble maintaining normal operating temp. I switched to a 190 thermostat, now the needle stays exactly in the middle

Hello! What model is this carburetor!

How much lift?
