Reunstallation of Nikki Carb

As all the books say installation is reversal of removall, lol. #1). Hook up all throttle
linkages. REfasten omp rod. Attach 2 outer nuts closest to the right fender. #2)
REmove the fuel inlet pipes from the carb, this is so you can gain better access to the nut closest to the cables. REmove the shutter valve hose out of the way.
Either using angle type long nose or magnetic pick up tool to posistion the nut
by the cables. After hand thread in place, then tighten with 12mm dist wrench.
Replace shutter hose. 3). push omp hoses out of way to install nut closest to the water pump. 4) install both omp lines to carb. 5). Install fuel inlet pipes and tighten, reconnect fuel hose and clamps. 6) Reconnect all electrical connectors.
7) reattach anti-afterburn valve in place. 8) reinstall air cleaner assembly and all
appropriate hoses. 9) Start vehicle and sing the rotoary shuffle, lol. rx7doctor

I was thinking the same thing............

I also have absolutely no vacuum hoses on top there. simplicity is the best!
