I have a nikki fitted and it works well and sounds awesome but if i try and climb a really steep hill it stalls,   soooo annoying im thinking of an su or webber which is best i defo get more power from the nikki than the standard one


     I spend most of the time on the road but it annoys me that if i wanted to climb that rediculously steep hill i cant,

        stupid but its a man thing

SU every time, I took my Weber off and replaced it with SU again because it kept cutting out on big inclines, and again I can guarantee you they do run upside down.

mine was off of a Metro 1.3 cost me £10 from local scrappies, made adaptor my self which took me about an hour, fitted new choke cable off of a Montego, cut end off original throttle cable and fitted solderless nipple, and then the air box came off of an early Mini 1000

total job cost me less than £20 and about 2.5 hrs of my time, well worth it.

Just make sure you keep the adapter as short as possible as I have heard people have severe problems with the carbs freezing up, got to say that I have not had the problem on mine and I have run it for 2years now.
