The reason for doing this would be? Is the engine in std trim? Suzuki engineers spend a lot of time and money research the compatibility of that carb to engine configuration. The 1.6 carb will only supply more fuel if the engine is stock....whats the point?

I'm not sure if 1600 carbs are better, but are they more likely to be newer, and less chance of off road cr#p in tanks, bowls, etc.
1.3 carbs like everything to be perfect. I had probs, too, but going to 1.6 carb seemed a bad idea. my probs are solved, now. I put a new kit thru the carb, added extra fuel filter between fuel pump and carb(the fuel pumps can sh#t and put bits into the carb). I keep my fuel filters changed regularly, drain cr#p from tank occassionaly, and put fuel system cleaner or meth in petrol every now and then. Runs like a dream these days. If any stuff does get in carb, it can be sucked thru with a rag over top of carb when revving(little risky to hands tho)..I know people who have put 1.6's on, all I know is you need correct model, and filing inlet maybe needed, and rewiring and plumbing..EFI be nice...christover

ive just bout it . With my old zook i got the carby rebuilt and twelve months later it was playing silly buggers again . I just didnt want to spend the cash on it if it was going to play up down the track.

fuel tank can get a sludge on the bottom, that dont come out with a drain plug, need too remove and clean out sometimes...rebuilt carb should last a little longer, maybe dirt get in from dirty old fuel pump or dirty tank, good luck whatever ya decide, christover

Got the carby rebuilt today . No difference . Its allright up untill 2500-3000rpm then it has no power at all. The more you put your foot down it makes a low growling noise . I think it may even make it go slower the more you put your foot down. i put a new filter in it aswell who knows maybee the timing is out?

airflow??
when i got my extractors (on 1 litre) there was no place for the hose to the extractors like the standard manifold had so it was blocked off and i had that exact problem. dont know if 1 litre and 1.3 litre hav same airbox set up but i just ran the tubing over 2 the extractors and solved my problem. dunno if this is any help .

Going from one carby to another is prolonging the inevitable. Save for a swap to an injection system/motor

The hose you are refering to is the 'warm air' hose that bring the hot air from around the manifold into the air intake when the engine is cold. Whether or not the system used that air is controlled by a vacuum hose that connects up with the air box setup and opens / closes a flap to let the air in.
I think the only affect of not having the 'warm air' hose in place will be that the car is going to be harder to start / warm up on cold mornings. However, plenty of people down here in frosty vic don't run them and seem to get by just fine.
