YotaAtieToo
Thick skull
I looked into the small ones and did not find much positive reviews.
Better bet would be a GM tbi retrofit if you can't find factory stuff.
Mine works pretty decent, but is still doing the thing where it doesn't want to Rev out.

You can kinda hear it in the video. I would have liked to just floor it and let it sit at 7k rpm, but it just doesn't want to do it. Have to back off and let it sit around 5500.

I tore into my 3K a little after I took it off and swapped to a weber.....I'm not putting the 3K back on anytime soon but thought some others might use this info?
I was looking into jet replacements before I switched, found some threads on Auszookers where they mentioned that Mikuni jets could be used.

Guessing sort of at which is primary and secondary, this was the jet nearest the secondary above, it is the vertical jet inside the bottom of the bowl. The likely primary is the horizontal one that is accessed via the bowl plug:
The secondary had a massive opening in it, larger than the 140 Weber jet I had for comparison. The primary jet was tiny by comparison
Shitty photo with shitty phone:
No stamps on either to indicate potential size though.
these random Mikuni jets from amazon look close: Amazon.com
The other interesting feature is the weighted vacuum flapper BS on the secondary barrel...I shoulda tried tying this open and test driving it to see if it made a difference? Seems pointless since the secondary is mechanical? I know a weber doesn't have one/need one.

Thank you, I haven’t had any of the performance hang ups that you or YotaAtieToo are dealing with, but mine definitely runs a bit fat at idle and on the primary circuit. I was hoping that I may be able to play with jettingI tore into my 3K a little after I took it off and swapped to a weber.....I'm not putting the 3K back on anytime soon but thought some others might use this info?

Yeah post up if you find jets that fit right. I wonder if a regular 3K rebuild kit from a parts store works on these too.

I’m gonna keep the 3K spamming going
Picked up this used/frozen real Toyota 3k and a rebuild kit. Gonna see what I can make of it and if it’ll be any better.

Well my junkyard 3k turned out to be non-rebuildable and it got tossed.
But look what Petroworks has for sale on IG, Fawkin sidedrafts! They don’t know who made the manifold though. I think Weber used to make a similar one.

Over the years I've tried every carb available for the Sammi none of them worked off road. After spending lots of money and time tuning carbs only to be disappointed I finally just gave up on them. I ended up going to propane with a supercharger, it runs smoothly at all angles with plenty of power. Propane was stupid easy to install, only needed one electrical wire hooked up. It took more time to remove the gas related components than to install the propane kit.

Well I just thought the side drafts were cool
That's going to make an awkward thread title, "help me fix the backhoe 2bb hired me to fix". Lol.
