Swap Meet Saturday Swap Meet Saturday

7 Upvotes

Welcome to The Swap Meet!

Do you have stuff that needs a new home, do you have a new home that needs stuff? Looking for something specific?

Let's see how this swap meet goes, it's an experiment.

But first, some rules:

* 1 - this is a public space, be mindful of phone numbers, email and location addresses. Assume that if you post a number, expect everyone to call, years from now to ask if it's still available.

* 2 - please report problem buyers or sellers. this is a member to member space but if people are being a problem we need to know. resist the urge to call them out in frank and blunt language in the thread, that's a hot ticket to getting flagged yourself as part of the problem.

* 3 - if it's gone let a mod know if you are having trouble deleting your post yourself. no one likes seeing the exact thing you need but it's from years ago and from a user who hasn't been seen is years. I'll flush it out at the end of the month, if it's still kicking around, repost on the next saturday.

* 4 -posts get posted on saturdays, it's swap meet saturday not swap meet whenever you feel.

* 5 - this is an experiment, if it fails it fails. if it disappears one day so be it.

The idea is this thread IS the swap meet. You have stuff that needs to come or go, you reply on here. I'll sticky it up at the top so it's always here. Provided it's maintained, the whole thread shouldn't be terribly long so, thankfully, no doom scrolling the buy/sell/trade.

so ::cuts ribbon with comically large scissors:: Welcome to Swap Meet Saturday. ::Balloons and Confetti drop::

Hey everyone!

I wanted to share a little project I’ve been working on. I scratch-built a Kei truck model with a slammed style to give it that cool, low-rider look, and turned the truck bed into a mini EDC tray.

It’s a bit small, but a practical little truck for your EDC. What do you think? :D

Mechanical and Technical E05A & E07A: Same Carb?

Post image
2 Upvotes

I’m working on a newly acquired, very low miles E07A. It was put into this truck (an HA2) after the fact. I ask the question because the motor was swapped out in ‘22, and I’m trying to figure, what are the odds that this is the original ‘89 carb?

IOW, one scenario I have a four year old carb, and I might do a top rebuild. The other scenario I’ve got a 37 year old carb, and I probably need to rebuild or replace.

Your collective wisdom?

Btw, I just replaced the air solenoid thinking it would fix. It didn’t. Yes, I’m getting spark.

Looking at the Anglicized owner's manual they show the lift points at the four wheel wells but with "attachments." What are the attachments? Can you just use a block or something to clear the lip and lift from the wheel wells?

Does anyone know what I can get for a replacement gas cap? It doesn't have to be locking or anything special, I just want it to fit and seal.

Importing information, insights and experiences Plow truck

3 Upvotes

Looking to pick up a kei truck for plowing a 500 yard driveway and random other tasks on a 120 acre lot. I'm leaning towards a Daihatsu Hijet due to the shorter wheelbase and 4x4 with low gear. Preferably looking at 1999 to 2006. That being said I'm open to feedback if anyone has experience with plowing with one of these rigs. I live in MN so it's hit or miss, but some years we have no shortage of snow.

I got my first Kei truck last week, a 2022 Suzuki Carry, am absolutely in love, but I cant work out what these 2 things in the cab are,

Picture 1 is a slot to the left of the dash, cant work out what's meant to go in it,

Picture 2 is a hook under under the glove box, swings when you open the glove box but doesnt seem to be convenient for anything

THANKYOU! 🚚

Kei Van Life Kei Truck Instead of a Golf Cart for Florida Neighborhood Use?

10 Upvotes

I live in a golf cart-friendly neighborhood in Florida where pretty much everyone has a golf cart. I’ve been considering getting a kei truck instead and wanted to hear some opinions from actual owners.

Mainly looking to use it for cruising around the neighborhood, going down the street to the park or lake, taking my dog around with a crate secured in the bed, and occasionally making Home Depot runs.
I feel like a kei truck would be a lot more practical than a golf cart, especially with the enclosed cab, AC (if equipped), and usable truck bed. Plus, they’re just cool little trucks.

For those who own one, would you recommend it over a golf cart for this kind of use? Any downsides I’m overlooking, especially living in Florida?
Also curious how easy they are to maintain and whether parts availability is an issue.

Mechanical and Technical Help! Truck Turning Over But Not Starting

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

36 Upvotes

Hey there folks, I just bought my first Kei Truck last week, but Im already having issues starting it. Im hoping some of you might have more educated idea as to what is wrong.

Backstory: bought the truck used last week. It started fine, and everything looked good (no leaks, hardly any rust, etc.). However, I went to start it this weekend, and it just turns over without starting (see video for audio). Since then, I've put in new spark plugs and a new battery, but no luck.

Do any of you have any insight as to what might wrong or what the next part I should try replacing?

Edit: the truck is a 1995 Suzuki Carry

Edit 2: thanks for all the advice of where to troubleshoot before getting more parts. I'm getting a spark at the plugs, but no gas after the fuel filter or pump. That makes me think it is a dead pump.

I'll pull off the pump and take a look at it. Any advice on how to confirm the pump is dead when I take it off?

Mechanical and Technical 1997 Acty SDX HA4 bogs down/almost stalls when throttle pressed

1 Upvotes

Hey guys, my HA4 bogs down when I press on the throttle. I was able to limp it home from work last week taking residential streets. Poking around I found my spark plugs had oil in them and that the air box has a little oil around the filter gasket and oil/gunk in the flex tube to the carb. The Carb wire screen was covered in the gunk on the right (driver side) of the screen too. I sprayed what I could with carb cleaner though I couldn't take it apart to spray anything. My screws are really tight.

A guy on the Honda Acty Enthusiasts Facebook group suggest I take a look at the air cut off solenoid but I don't remember there being a green wire. I'll have to look again.

I replaced the spark plugs last fall and replaced them again this last weekend. I don't think I had them super tight before, maybe that's why I'm getting oil in there. I also replaced the valve cover gasket last fall because there was oil in one of the tubes then and it felt like it was only running on two cylinders back then). I checked the gaskets and the o-ring seals and they seem fine this time so I think they're OK.

The truck runs fine with the air box cover off so I'm pretty sure my issue is air related.

I have a new fuel filter on order but want to check the solenoids before ordering anything.

If it's a vacuum leak, where should I be looking and how do I diagnose it?

Thanks guys!

This is my daily driver so I want to get this figured out before winter really hits.

Other Kei Cars and Wagons Is there a market for something like toyota IMV origin kind of bare bones electric platform.

2 Upvotes

So me and my friend started building custom ev skateboard for some engineering colleges and were looking for something to expand into. So we started to build an electric last mile Quadri cycle for our locals inspired by ELM mobility ( i quite find it funky)

Now coming to IMV origin, since we are building a platform for this I wanted to check if there is market for something basic like IMV origin with 2 seats where owners can add their own accessories based on their requirements, mainly for farm or local area transport. our current specs are 20KWh battery pack, 30KW/200nm motor and overall length of 3.6meters, there will also be an option for CCS2 charging , A small Gas range extender. We aim to make all the our component designs available to public (excluding 3rd party ones) so that there can be a DIY market as well along with providing necessary parts for repairs. What i want to know is if there is sufficient demand. i would like to explore this. any advice/inputs on this?

Went for a non AA headunit, as I don't think it would suit it, plus it's so low down I got myself a single din off Ali express for £30 and fits the 90's theme, subwoofer is the smallest I could find and provides ample bass for what I need,

And finally some small 4.5inch speakers, with some covers over the top so stop accidental damage, all in all a good project that didn't break the bank, and I can finally stop using a Bluetooth speaker!

Vending Mobile book shop in TN?

6 Upvotes

I want to do a mobile book shop in Tennessee, and I’m wondering if anyone has insight on registration, insurance, etc.?

From what I have read, I may not be able to get on roads with a speed limit over 35. How are people managing to run a business with these things if they can’t get on any main roads? I wouldn’t be able to leave my neighborhood legally. Every road that boarders mine is 40 mph.

Also wondering, if by chance I CAN make this work, will companies insure these?

These are all questions my husband is bringing up because I’m the dreamer and he’s the practical one 🫣

Tracking down raw gas smell, idle hunting from 1100 to 2800 rpm cold start issues. I replaced the non functioning air fuel solenoid and am replacing vacuum lines (ran out of line for now). Noticed that this diaphragm actuator looks like it should contact the throttle control arm, but there is no contact between them when the arm is fully pulled back. Is something missing? What is this part called? I can't find it in any schematic I've looked at...
