I have two of the nikki carbs and I see people talking about the rats nest but I cant seem to find out what that actually is... I want to mod one of the carbs to get some more power if that is possible?

The rats nest is the cluster of solenoids and vacuum hoses that sit on top of your motor.

Here ya go. http://maz_tutorials.ten15.net/ click on "removing the rats nest" Removing the rats nest can help with making the car more reliable because you remove so many wires and vaccums that can/will leak. My car started running MUCH better once I got it all out of there, and it makes it much easier to work on.

You need to download and install Adobe Acrobat to open the tutorials. The link is also available on the left side of the website where it says "Download Adobe Acrobat Reader (required for all tutorials)". These files are way to large for someone to e-mail you, plus you still wouldn't be able to view them without the program.
