my friend has this nikki carb that doesnt look like any of the ones from an rx7. The person who gave it to him said it was for a 13b, but I know the rx-4 had a hatatichi carb. Did the rx5 (cosmo) come with a nikki carb??

 

It's spelled Hitachi and the '76-'78 Cosmo came stock with them.

 

mabey you could tell me where this nikki is from at the next meet jeff

 

It's possible. What type of jet cover bolts does it have on the float bowls? Are the oil metering pump fittings in the usual place? Or are they in the air horn? I assume it has the large style choke 'lid' thing (the name escapes me at the moment). Does it also have one of those bimetal spring things and a heating element housing? Or is it just a simple lever arm connection for the fast idle linkage down to the primary throttle shaft? The really early Nikkis lacked all that modern garbage.
