I don't believe that you want to mess with that (or jets) on a stock nikki. If you're looking for more power, check out a Sterling modified Nikki. I have one and can tell you its awesome. Flows much better than stock, and is good for anything you'll be doing to you motor in the future (porting, etc.)...

Hi kentetsu,

thanks for the reply I am sure that the Sterling carb and the Yawpower carb are both excellent

however they feature mods that are not allowed in my race class which is why I am looking for info on the best

(largest) venturi size combination that works.



Regards

Sterling will work with you. If there are mods you can't have, talk to him and get a carb built to the limits of your class. If he's to busy, try talking to Carl (PB&J Racing). He and Sterling partnered to build the carbs, and I believe he usually has less work load. He built a Nikki for me that ran strong.
