(Carb) Long Lost Carb Stripping Tutorial
 

Hey All,

A few years ago I wrote a tutorial on how to strip the stock Nikki and intake manifold, and sent it out to a few folks for review.

Sometime after I lost the editable version of it, and never got around to re-making it so that I could fix the few small spelling/grammatical issues and adding the suggestions my reviewers made.

Today someone emailed me about it so I dug up the old PDF version and sent it out and figured "Hey... I should probably post this. It's not perfect, but it might help someone on the forum anyway"


Unfortunately the forum's attachment limits won't let me post it (1.5mb PDF) so if anyone has some webspace where we can toss it up online, let me know so we can get this available for everyone.

Anyone know how to get ahold of the foxed.ca guy? I'd love to see it up on his site if he's got room!

Jon

There, sent an email to the foxed.ca admin... hopefully he'll add it. If not though, anybody else got reliable webspace?

Jon

I'd be keen to see this. You can generally get free hosting somewhere if all else fails

mediafire.com is a good place to toss it up and should allow any number of people to download without issue.

youshare, mediafire, filedropper, lots of free ones to get it out there.

If you want I could roughly export it to word format for you and then you could make your changes/corrections. I would need to email it to you though.

Jon, I have PDF edit (I use full Acrobat at work) capabilities... I could possibly revert it to an editable form for you, unless it is password locked.

I have webspace I would love to donate.

www.theglogspot.com will be the new tutorial site until someone comes up with a good name for a tutorial website for our cars.

Wow, lots of interest!

The foxed.ca admin said he'd try to get it up there soon, but all of you who want a copy to put on your webspace, just email me at vipernicus42 (at) hotmail (dot) com and I'll email you all a copy :)

Jon

Haha, that damn foxed.ca admin. Who the hell is that hoser anyway?

http://foxed.ca/rx-7/Carb%20Stripping%20Draft%201.pdf for now.

I have full acrobat, so I can actually make an editable version if you like. ( http://foxed.ca/rx-7/Carb%20Stripping%20Draft%201.doc ) Formatting is a bit messed but if you are making revisions anyway its not a big deal.

ugh
 

foxed.ca is quite possibly the slowest loading site in all of the internet...

I blame Canada...

LOL...
I mean really :) I got a huge connection and takes me 20 minutes to DL 1.36mb from foxed.ca....

ROFL :) But the carb tutorial is there... now if I could only view it....

Really.....I downloaded it a couple of days ago (granted it was daytime mid-week, so...) and it was done in less than 30 sec.?

Great tutorial by the way...

omg this is gold. This helps immensely with my carb rebuild. Thanks!

Nice job Jon! (Yes I know this is an old thread).

Wow, I'd almost forgotten that I made this.

Thanks for the props Carl, coming from you that means a lot. The tutorial that you and Pratch did for getting rid of the rat's nest was the first carb/intake/emissions-related thing I ever tackled on my car, and my first Sterling was an absolute godsend. I don't think I would have gone on to learn nearly as much about airflow, emissions controls and carbs if it hadn't been for you guys!
