Carb Rebuild: How To Strip A Nikki Down (Rx7Carl please help)
Awesome, Thanks Joe. I'm finally getting some time to get back on the forum. Anyhow, got any idea if the 83 GP kit will work on an 80 carb? Advance wants almost $60 for the 80s version and the 83 is $25.
Good to hear. I got the 83 kit but I have a spare carb off an 80 that came with a $25 12a I bought awhile back as a rebuild project I'll get around to some day... So yeah I figure my cars running now but since this is my first rebuild I'll just rebuild the 80 and see how that works just so I dont have to sacrifice my running carb.

i am having some trouble taking off the main and secondary fuel jets. i have the access holes open but i have a flathead that will fit but it is too small or a too big flathead that cant fit. any specific tool anyone recommends? to remove them to replace the washers? thanks

Cool thanks. I'll probably try to bore it back out to stock size too since the top opening collapsed a little. I was starting to contemplate either couter drilling to pull it and getting a new set of jets and bleeds or just redrilling all the bores to match for holly parts since I read somewhere that sterling does that.

Thanks ham, ill keep that in mind. Like i said tho im new to carbs so i dont even know what all the sizings are. What jet size would you recommend for a stock port engine with full rb exhaust, stripped nikki, emissions removed, mechanical secondarys, 12a engine?
Stock jetting, or maybe 95/160 for fuel if you're running a tad bit lean or running more advanced timing. That's just a small step up on the primaries.
