hi
I'm rebuilding my Nikki..i have a coulpe questions.
1) i cant get the coasting richer soleniod out could this be pressed in? its pictuers 24.3/43 in the Haynes manual.
2) the next question is on the air horn side picture number 24.3/27 i cant get the needle seat's out either.
could they be pressed in?
i would really apprecate any help on this.
thanks
Don

 

They're both screwed in... really tightly by the sound of it.

 

The richer solenoid unscrews.
Are you speaking of the bowl vent soleniod valve seat? If so, to remove it you first have to remove the little nipple on the side of the horn (where the emissions hose hooks up), its pressed in. I use pliers to grab it and twist it back and forth while pulling it out. Then the seat ( big brass fitting) will come out. It is also pressed in and the nipple goes into the side of it securing it. If you want to know how I know, first time I pulled mine out it was a bitch, till I sheared off the end of the little nipple that was holding it in!

 

hi Rx7carl
I think we are both talking about the same thing here.
i removed the nipple like you said but i can't get the big brass fitting out. what am i doing wrong here?
thanks
Don

 

You got the 90 degree elbow out? If so then the brass fitting will come out. It's pressed in and takes persuasion to remove it. I held mine with vise grips and twisted back and forth while smacking the vise grips with a mallet.

 

ok thanks RX7 Carl
but once its out, wont it be a bear to get back in?
