Rebuilding the Nikki 4 barrel on my 85 1.1
I am putting the mid section back together, the main body. There were two places where there were brass rods, (weights) and *****. One was the accelerator inlet and also the accelerator pump. Ive got those two back in.

However when I was taking apart the main body, a third brass rod "appeared". Well lets say it showed up on my work table towards the end of the process, it fell out of somewhere I guess. No third ball though.

The rods that I already replaced were the real skinny one, that was the inlet...and the shorter wider one, that was in the pump. This third mystery rod has a diameter that is between the two that I put back already, and it is longer than either of them.

I will link up a picture.

What the heck is this one? If it WAS another weight, I would expect a third steel ball, but there are only two pictured. I have the diagrams from the carb kit, and also the web resources from wright-here.net. I can not find this rod pictured anywhere.

Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly apprecatied!

We found it, according to a drawing I made. It goes under the brass cap, in the
"richer circuit"...however, it is NOT pictured in any diagram I have laid eyes on, not the Hygrade diagram and not the Mazda nikki manual that i have. Must have been some odd variant.
Just another reason you should ALWAYS make your own drawings when taking something apart!
