Thanks for the offer. I'll keep it in mind.

I'm amazed at how many small tweaks that are needed to do this. Anyone
modding nikkis like yourself and sterling are really earning your money.

Its a lot of small details, thats why I split it up into the 4 major areas. I'm
going to do each set before moving onto the next.

Yep! DETAILS DETAILS DETAILS! Especially polishing the booster venturi's. Takes me hours to do them. Anyway if you get hung up or just want to bounce ideas hit me up. 954-288-4508. Keep us posted with pictures.

T G FARRELL from the last thread it looks like you'r on the right track now.Lots of guys modify the stock carb with great results good luck

No real progress to report. I chem dipped the major pieces but I need to get
some carb cleaner and go at it with a brush and elbow grease this weekend.
I don't have a parts washer so I have to do it the old fashion way. I'm not in
a hurry so that ok.

I'll be ordering the GP Sorensen carb kit as well when I pick up the carb cleaner.
Once its all clean I'll take before shots of everything and then start modding
the carb from the top down.

Well the carb cleaner I had sucked. It was from advancezone etc and it was
so safe you could water your plants with it. I did some research on the net
and I found that what I wanted was lacquer thinner. It has all the best
ingredients like toluene, acetone, etc.

So I soaked the carb and intake in this yesterday while I was doing some yard
work and they cleaned up pretty good with no real scrubbing. I still want to
take a brass wheel to it all for final clean up, plus I'll reuse the thinner when I
pull the jets as well. No pics yet. I'll post them after I wire brush it all and
before I pull off any jets or venturis.

Got the rebuild kit in and it looks complete. Now I just have to drop by HF
tp pick up some indexed drills and a few other odds and ends for my dremel
supplies.
