Carb rebuild

[A7RXY]

Anyone had their nikki carb rebuilt, I have bought a repair kit from the states and have been quoted £150 to do the rebuild, any idear if this is about right ?

Never considered a price for a Nikki rebuild but it must be quite a time consuming job.
There is a download available showing the rebuild in absolute detail. I think it\'s on the Rotaryart site. Let me know if you\'re interested and can\'t find it.

What about looking for a good one on a scrapper? Could be cheaper and easier but of course what\'s a good\'un and whats not? To answer the question, Yes for a top class rebuild I\'d pay that sort of cash. The wizard on Nikkis is supposed to be a guy signing in as \'Stirling\' on the US site. Now if he was doing it....deffo yes.

The reason for the rebuild is that its a bit, should we say, clogged up having been standing for 11 years. I will have it rebuilt as it the original and I\'m trying to keep it as original as possible.

Ive got a few nikki carbs knocking about if you need one or bits, Ive modded mine slightly by making the secondaries open mechanically but this does give a flat spot if you boot it at lower revs, to overcome the flat spot the diaphragm on the accelerator pump needs a couple of spacer gaskets.
I also have a genuine mazda carb manual somewhere, I will root it out and try to get it scanned and posted on here.

Just thought i\'d add these for anybody who fancies a rebuild, its from a genuine Mazda training manual I managed to get my hands on.
