Hi
I took my sj out last night for the first time since rebuilding the tbox and done some hill climbs. I have recently fitted a nikki carb which runs perfect normally, but it would cut out if I got stuck on a steep incline, but fine on a decline. Is there any sort of mod I can do to solve this problem ( float height etc )?
Thanks,
Adam.

Re: Nikki carb cutting out on steep climbs
I don't think hardly anyone runs a Nikki. I know folks have run into the same problem with Webbers, and it was something about the spring and needle I think.
There's three ways of doing things:
The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

It's something to do with the float setting. Apparently with the webers you can adjust the float and it will work properly.
I think I might have found a web page about it when I was researching into carbs....
