Stock Nikki and that's it. The cfm rating of the carb is about 290 with peanut sized primary throats, a base plate with convoluted emissions routing and a heat shield designed around the stock linkage movement.

If you can follow instructions, then just get a rebuild kit for the one you've got. it'll take a few hours to do, but its not all that tough. Otherwise, watch the for sale section, or post a want add.

...and 600 cfm is WAY too much airflow for a stock 12A unless it's like a Qaudrajet carb with tiny front primaries and monster secondaries.
