1989 Mazda B2200 SE-5 from North America - Comments

If it's helpful to anyone here... I had a '88 b2200, that started running like doodoo, it would run fine for about ten minutes then choke out and die like it was starved for fuel...

If I left it alone for ten minutes, it would start right up and run for another ten minutes, then choke and die... thought it was the catalytic converter, so I took that off and punched it through, then replaced the fuel filter, but after looking further into it, the factory Mazda B2200 carburetor has a solenoid on it, it's about $25 bucks and takes literally 5 minutes to change, and that fixed the problem right up.

I have an 88 B2200 won't start. No spark at the plugs but power at the coil. Both sides of coil get power when ignition is turned on. Please help DAVID basspirate69@yahoo.com.

Well I have a 89 Mazda 2200 with 249655 mile. It runs so great, and is a very good truck. I am the second owner.

The only problem I found is that I get poor gas mileage on it. The engine runs very smooth, but I get about 19 mpg on highway and 17mpg in the city, or about 275 on full tank on the highway. Does anyone knows what could be wrong with this picture here? I had been getting about the same gas mileage since the truck had 135000 miles.

I am trying to find out what the gear is in my 89 Mazda B2200. The top of the housing has 3.909 stamped on it, but I still don't know how to convert it over to the gears you find in catalogs.

I have a 351 Ford Windsor V-8 in it, and the gears and 4 speed auto trans that came with the V-8 top out at 50mph at 4000 rpms. Can anyone help me out and point me in the right way.

Thanks
