Self Tunning - Khyber G-10 (Plugs, valve clearance, spark gap etc)

[smijaz]

ok,zulifiqar bhai have a query..i dont have the idle speed up thing for head lights and radiator fan..the car was non ac version so who ever installed AC in it connected the AC idle setup with the head lights idle and now head light when turned on,rpm gets low n car strt vibrating.so can i just get the idle of AC to connect with headlights too so when lights are turned on,AC idle setup increases the RPm?
i can get another idle vacuum and all but i dont know where to hock tht up..so suggest plz..!

You can get ac idle up solenoid and its diaphram from a good ac shop.

then you can ask an electrician to first reset the wiring as it was prior to ac setup and properly connect and configure the electrical load idle mechanism. this will be activated whenever you switch on the parking/head lights, ac/radiator fan or defogger etc.

next step will be to install the solenoid connected with compressor clutch wiring and the diaphram to the dashpot side of the carb. Run the piping from the intake vaccum to the diaphram through solenoid.

Whenever I switch-on the fan of my Suzuki Khyber, its blower start producing some noise, as if something is stuck in its blades. Can something went inside blower unit? Like a leaf? Or it might be possible that one of the fan blades is broken.
I went to an electrician, he told me that the blower unit needs to be opened and for that, dashboard nuts must be loosened. It will take 3 hours. He was asking 1000 Rs for that. Is it justified?

yes xulifiqar bhai ive asked that once again,ive not yet been able to get that done.
ill go to mechanic on Saturday to have it in... hope i get this done now..ill take this picture with me for reference..thank you xulifiqar bhai and farhan bhai for the help..!

can you plz tell what actually i need to find?? idle up diaphragm,solenoid?? bus?

whos car pic is this above one?? where is the air cleaner??

@cracked
The pic is of G10 engine and air filter is removed because the engine has to be dismantled and a cup is attached instead of air filter to prevent anything dropping into the carb. accidently.

@speedster_101
Dash board nuts are not needed to loose to dismantle blower motor.

Thanks for providing the diagram of blower motor unit. Do you have any idea how much should I pay the electrician for getting that job done?

I once did it myself and found a dry leaf and a toffee wraper in it. Just the three bolts and it should come off easily. Remember to unplug the blower speed resistor pack first. Open and clean it from inside, it catches dust also.

Today while on my way back from Shadman, my car's engine turned off without any jerk or any apparent cause. I knew something big went wrong so without giving it any try to restart i parked the car on the side and checked the following
1. Ignition Fuse (OK)
2. CNG regulator (OK, Solenoid is clicking on and off)
3. ignition coil input (12V)
4. Distributor connectors
The minor probable causes were ruled out , now to major ones and 1st in line is the timing belt. to verify that
I put the car in 4th gear, removed the distributor cap to see the rotor and pushed the car back while looking at the rotor , it didnt moved meaning the link between cam and crank is gone (timing belt broke).

So called a friend to purchase and bring me the belt there. With the tool box in my car i planned to install the new one myself then and there.

It took about 20 minutes to open up all the belts, pulleys and cover. 20 minutes to adjust the timing and install the belt. 30 minutes to put every thing back.

After that came the moment of truth and Thanks to Allah Car started on half cycle and i got home safely.

Note: "It is never a good idea to crank the engine with a broken timing belt"

Excellent response in diagnosing the problem. If it had happened to me, i would be buying some valves for my car...

I once opened the timing belt cover to check belt tension. Pulley bolts gave me a little hard time.

good thinking of checking the stuff before attempting to twist the key

Maximum Rs.200. or u can do it ur self easily if u have the tools.There are three screws beneath the motor that u can unscrew with the help of a screwdriver and so dismantle the blower unit only.

It all depends on driving style. One can wear out a good clutch in a few months if he is always in sprinting mood. Cool driving with minimum slipping of clutch, i.e. full engagement of clutch at minimum possible rpm and then pressing throttle, is the best way to save clutch as well as fuel.

Slipping tires will also save you clutch because it engages instantly and start spinning the tires but the tires will wear out soon.
