So I got this samurai a couple months ago.
Replaced the Oxygen Sensor, Thermostat, Fuel Filter, Air Filter, Spark Plugs, Spark Plug Cables, Distributor and changed the oil. Checked the Timing and it was good as well.
I rebuilt the carburetor the other day and got it installed and started up the samurai just fine. I noticed the fuel level in the sight glass on the carburetor was off (can't remember if it was low or high) so I readjusted the float level per the zukboys FSM which says 8mm from the air horn. So now my fuel level looks dead on in the middle of the sight glass but now I have no power and I have to floor the gas peddle when I'm starting this thing to get it run and it only gets up to 2-3k RPM.
Then I made a few observations tonight.
I followed this procedure tonight

because my cam follower didn't line up with the mark on the fast idle cam.
I verified that my choke opened completely once warmed up as well.
I got it running and made some adjustments to the idle adjusting screw.
I got it to idle where it was idling before. around 1500. I couldn't adjust it any lower (because we're at a higher altitude maybe?).
So I can start this thing now just fine.
But when I took it for a test drive, no power. I'm leaning towards my float may still be out of adjustment, despite being at the recommended 8mm distance specified in the Zukboys FSM.
I'm going to try to take this apart again tomorrow and clean out the jets and passages again then readjust the float.
Though if someone who knows about Carburetors has any advice I'd love to hear it.
