Talk to Mike at Mike's Auto Tech in Glendale. He rebuilt the Nikki carb on a 1985 GS a few years back. Good guy.

You can post a want to buy ad in the marketplace section reference the carburetor and a similar ad in your regional section if you'd like. That would be the best approach to finding a replacement carburetor here on the forum. This section is for technical threads only.

I heard from Mike in Glendale this week, he said he got your Nikki carb rebuilt. He's a good guy. How is the car running now?

Better than my original 1985 did. He did such an excellent job. Have put more miles on it in one week than I did the entire year I owned it. Would highly recommend.

Knewell, if you don't mind me asking, how much was the charge for your rebuild?
I have an 81 GSL and my carb needs to be rebuilt.
Thanks in advance-AudiBimmerRX7
