They are Nikki carbs made by Hitachi specifically for Mazda rotary application. The evolution of this carb has everything in the world to do with emmisions control.
The rebuild is pretty easy. Just take your time.
Get a rebuild kit from a generic auto parts place. Shop around by phone. I've seen them for as much as forty bucks, and heard as little as twenty. Same kit.
Be specific to the moron on the other end of the phone. You need the kit year specific.
