Best Answer

You are going too slow...... Having large tires will cause the available power (because of the high ratio) to not be enough to turn them. This assumes everything else is in reasonable condition and there are no 'problems' with the engine, like a cylinder misfiring or low power output.

What would keep a Suzuki Samurai from activating the starter relay with the key?

There is a common problem with the Suzuki Samurai wiring in the starter circuit. Called the Clicky-Starter problem :-) it is easily corrected by installing a Clicky-Starter kit:-) which is nothing more than a relay, a circuit breaker, and wire connected through the relay directly to the starter. Inexpensive kits are available through eBay or any of the many Samurai parts sources, or you can easily make the corrections yourself with discreet components. I recommend you visit ZukiKrawlers.com for more detailed information!

Why would you lose power with your 87 samurai after putting on larger tires?

simply put the motors are to small also the are rated very badly for roll overs so larger tires is not really a good idea edit: loss of power attributed to larger tires can be corrected by changing the gearing in either or both the transfer case and differentials. Download the FREE Suzuki Samurai Shop Manual from http://www.suzukiinfo.com/ or visit zukikrawlers.com Also, the roll-over tendency of the Samurai is no greater than any other SUV of similar wheelbase. Details of the infamous Consumer Reports falsification of test results can be found at http://www.suzukiinfo.com/ Suzuki successfully sued Consumer Reports and demonstrated in court that CR had rigged the tests to cause the Samurai to fail. zn
