I wouldn't get the rebuild kit from Victoria British...it's not very good. I got one there, then trashed it and got another from Parts America. It was much better.

I got my kit from Victoria British and had no problems with it yet. My stock Nikki carb works great. I rebuilt the carb with their kit over a year ago.

Look around and see if you can find a Hygrade carb kit. It's supposed to be the best and most complete, recommended by Sterling and RX7Carl, our local carb gurus. Glad to see you're taking my advice.

When it comes time to rebuild, head for the stickies up top, there is great deal of good advice on carb rebuilds and trouble shooting.
