carb rebuild kit
Where is the best place to buy one for an 85 12a? My local Advance Auto told me they didn't have anything I would be interested in
Anyone ever done a step by step write up on rebuilding the stock Nikki? This will be my first attempt. I have searched but can't seem to locate a how-to. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

I'm a realative novice with the same dilema. Through the research I've done over the past few months the only thing I can tell you is it's not as easy as other carb's and your better off to try the rebuild on a another carb you got from a junkyard or someone with an extra used one.
Other than that, ask Sterling for help, and read his write-up called "Carb-Crap...Nikki Mods". Good luck.
Oh yeah I got my kit from Car Quest.

I used a digital camera to take pictures of everything and it made it a lot easier when I put it back together. There are a couple of check ***** and pins that will go flying when you open up the carb so make sure you know where they are located. Hope this helps.

I set up a card table with a plastic tablecloth in my garage for this project. Take your time, be methodical, and you'll do just fine. Also, besides doing the carb rebuild, this is the perfect opportunity, and highly advisable, to replace all the rubber hoses on the rats nest, including the air control valve hose at the rear underneith the carb, the one that always splits. Those are easy. Remove one at a time, cut a replacement hose to length, replace and repeat with the next hose. Test the shutter valve, or remove it, too.
