I don't know, but I thought that I read something like that in the FAQ section. I am probably wrong though. Good luck. I will be needing to rebuild mine also, so this could be a very useful thread for me.

All the manuals, Haynes, Mazda have detailed sections on rebuilding the carb.

Put the carb into a box, mail it to Sterling, wait, get box back, open box, and bam you are done! One rebuilt carb!

Easy as pie!

You can send it to Carl, too!
Mail us for numbers (unspoken board rules).

I can guarantee we're the cheapest game in town, and our reputation is at the stake of all that visit this board.

Look in the FAQ section...there are a couple of pages on Nikki carb troubleshooting and one on rebuild tips.

We're always happy to take on a repair/mod job, but we appreciate the guy who wants to do it him/her self, too, and want to help in any way we can.


...yeah. We're just a buncha ****** angels!

Yeah, sterling and rx7carl are carb gods around here. They helped me with my problem. I would have sent sterling my carb to get rebuilt, but I am kind of tight on cash. I had a few problems with missing/broken parts and sterling and rx7carl helped me. Great guys.

Get the one from the wreckers and take a shot at it. We're always here to help. And if it came down to it, you could always send it to someone to finish it for you.
