NIKKI Carburettor Overhaul!!
Posted: Mon Oct 22, 2007 12:55 pm
I decided to ovehaul my carburettor this weekend, this is what I did.................
This is a Nikki carburettor and requires a kit costing R100 or so, 2xtins carb cleaner, a small paint brush, screw drivers, cloths, a compressor (vehicle one will do) and a BIT OF TIME.
Here goes:
1) Remove air filter piping and flow duct.
2) Now take a few photos from all angles to aid correct placement of vacuum pipes and brackets etc. This is not a necessity but is helpful if you get stuck or you get side tracked for a while and can’t remember when you come back to it. Or of course, if age is not on your side, a few pictures are definitely a must. 3) Remove vacuum pipes. (I removed the pipes at different ends to stop confusion when replacing)
4) Remove accelerator 2nd stage link. (The little white plastic one)
5) Remove all air breather pipes.
6) Loosen the 4 x M8 (12mm Spanner or socket) securing nuts, holding the carburettor to the manifold. 7) The carb can now be removed from the car.
