Having trouble with disassembly of Nikki carburetor
i was going to rebuild mine, but after taking all the screws off of the top still CANNOT get it open.. im about to just look to replace the thing with a working carb.. my accel pump diaphram is shot.. and i think some of the seats are sticking.. so its either get er open and rebuild or buy a working one..

I did mine on a large white table (white makes it easier to see the small pieces of course). It may help to take pictures on a digital camera and have a computer with the pictures loaded near by. Take notes too! I didn't have any emissions attached to the carb when I took it apart, which made it much easier.
Thats the best I can offer. It really isn't that hard to accomplish, just take a deep breath, be confident and think positive
Good luck

"I tried prizing the top off mine after I got the screws out. Just about screwed it up before I figured out the center bolt has to come out"
Yeh that's how I know about the center bolt too. Rondabout has the right idea, you can do it, especially if I can do it.
And yeh, there's more stuff on carbs on this forum than you can shake a stick at, do a seach.

I STILL haven't rebuilt my own carb yet. :-) I'm getting darn close though.... Just finished fabbing up the exhaust last night...

The first time is always a little scary, but it just gets easier and better after that. But if you start doing it just for the fun of it and decide to try out that stripped Nikki idea, you might want to do something about your habit bdfore it gets you in trouble:

I tried prying mine apart with a wedge and a shop hammer. It wasn't pretty, and I was getting pi$$ed!
Then I realized that bolt had to come out.
My wife called me a dumbass for not reading the carb manual better
