Mazda B2200 Carburetor by itoyota

I have a 1993 B2200 truck and I'm not sure if my original carb is bad. The truck runs good for short trips, but if you run for more than 6 miles or 20 minutes they start failing like a clog carb. In that point and don't know what to do. The external gas filter looks good, but I don't know if the filter inside the tank are clogged or maybe can be an electric problem. anybody can you give me any hint about that?
 
Thank You!

I have a 1997 B2300 with the 5 speed and I have over 300,000 miles and it has been to Calif, once and to NY twice from Fl. The only things that I have had to do to it is replace the clutch once, the water pump and the timinig belt. I only replaced the timming belt due to the age and the fact that I was going to Calif. with it. It has to be the best vehical I have ever owned and at the age of 51, I have a lot of cars and trucks.

1991 B2200 Rebuild by chas15

Am retired so picked up a small pickup three years ago and put new brakes,tires,shocks,gas tank and thought that was it.Just wanted some thing big enough to pull my small camper.It started to smoke some on startup and figured valve seals were leaking and needed a new timing belt anyways so decided to get a longblock rebuild,,they called and said my clutch was not all that great so said put a new one in.Four thousand dollars later I'm starting the break in period.From all I've read about the 91 it's a great little truck and it does pull my camper just fine.Got to do a little rust fixing but that's OK and it should last a good while.Amazing how much you can put into an older truck to get it into shape.Then again maybe I went to far..Wonder if any others have have done similar with theirs.

I had a 92 REAL Mazda pick-up and was very pleased. Traded it in on a 97 B2300, which is a FORD Ranger. Since warranty, have had it in shop four times for Check Engine. Each time, it cost between $100-200 except last week when it cost $350 to replace the spark plugs and wiring.
  Has 85,000 miles on it and three months ago, it died due to a failed fuel pump. Cost $350 to replace that. Now the gas gauge has died and the rubber tube for the gas filler is cracked. That's $450 for the tube replacement and $200 for the fuel gauge. Talked to two Ford (Mazda) dealers and one independent. All three stated replacing the fuel pump would not have caused the gauge or tube to break - "old age" did it.
   Sell it before you get 50,000 miles on it.

Hey, my 88 Ranger has 175,000 miles on it, new radiator, clutch, and that's it. Never had a check engine light yet. The Ranger has been compared for years to the Tacoma for reliability. One bad B2300, B3000 or B4000 does not a bad series make. Mine is the 4.0L by the way.

On my 91 Mazda it looked like my gas tank was leaking so had them put a new one in,,but it wasn't the gas tank it was a rusted filler tube.They had to go to an auto wrecker to get a replacment,,and my gas gauge doen't work right so make sure I refill every 300 KLM.Still haven't got the 500 KLM put on the new motor before it's due for an oil change but it's close.When driving can feel the tightness of the new motor and clutch and it feels very nice.Will be fixing the few rust spots on the door soon as the warmer weather gets here.Am looking for an after market checkered rear bumper for it but it's next to imposible to find here in the Vancouver area.Even though it cost a bundle to get it up to snuff,,I'm glad I had the work done,,it's a great little truck.

Mazda B3000 FFV by ron03

Hello,
 
I have a 2000 Mazda B3000 truck and the gas flap says that it may be able to use ethanol(E85) fuel, but that I should look at the users manual for details. The users manual says that some models are Flex Fuel Vehicles (FFV). Does anybody know how I can tell for sure if my truck is a FFV. Thank you.
