Sterling's Carburetor Website

Sterling's site was a great resource for diagnosing and modifying our Nikki carbs. The site has been down for awhile, but I accessed it using Wayback Machine until last year. Now I can't even access it that way.

Does anyone have this information saved in the darker recesses of their hard drive to share?

Take any of that old information with a grain of salt. New info supersedes the old.

I don't even follow the info I posted a couple years ago. I certainly can not condone anything posted by anyone else because it is only their opinion and some of it has proven to do more harm than good.

Exercise caution when you mod these carbs as they are not easy carbs to work on.

The carbs aren't really too difficult. The stuff in that post doesn't really go too in depth like some of the other posts. It is just a good layout of how to strip down the carb and switch to mechanical secondaries if wanted. I just did all of it last week and the car starts up, idles, and runs perfect.
