Thoughts on Nickerson Performance
 

I have given up trying to dial in the carbs on my Blower motors for the Cig. and I am going to send them to Nickerson to be set up correctly for my application. It will foul plugs in about 5 mins of idling and no wake zones. above 1500 it seems ok but still runs rich.
Has anyone out here used thier services before and how did they turn out? I`m told he bench flows everything and I can just bolt them on and everything will be all warm and fuzzy:D

Looking forward to some positive feedback, Kurt.:cool:

About a year ago I posted a question on the Hot Boat site regarding tuning the carbs on my Procharged engines. A user by the name of formula93 replied suggesting that I use Nickerson Performance. He had recently gotten his carbs back from Nickerson and was happy with the service and results. Last month I contacted formula93, questioning if he was still happy with the results. I figured that a year of use was the true test of their workmanship. He said that he was still very happy, and still recommends them. I sent my carbs to them 1½ weeks ago. Hopefully they will be able to work on them this week. If you would like, I can let you know of the results.

OOPS, sorry. Guess you were looking for positive feedback.

I used Nickerson for a 502 crate motor 250 B&M blower package and had Dean set it up. Blower, carb, cam and everything else I needed came from them. It was a bolt together package and ran like a charm. Had no problems and would highly recommend them. Since this was a previous A class boat he asked what parts I had that we might use before buying anything, I like that! Clay

A friend of mine has a nickerson package 250 blower and 1050 carb .it runs rich . It will probably be going to "Bruce " .Also the nickerson carbs don't have "J" tubes . I thought all marine carbs should ??:confused: Good luck !

My bro in law has a B&M 174 with a Nickerson 980 Holley on a 454.No issues.

I've used Nickersons for 33 hours. The only issue was that they had to be rejetted when first installed.

Do they just tune blower carbs or can i send them my carbs from my 425 mercs?

hmmmmmmm?
 

I JUST HAD MY 1050 DOMINATORS "REBUILT" WHICH I DONT THINK THEY NEEDED THEM BUT WHY FIND OUT LATER. ANYWAY AFTER 2.5 WEEKS I GOT THEM BACK..............$1155.40 WOW!!!!JUST TO GO THRU THEM? NEEDLESS TO SAY THEY IDLE NICE ACTUALLY A LITTLE LOW TO THE START BUT RUN GREAT SO FAR OF THE TWO HRS I PUT ON THEM

I have used Nickerson for several applications and have had good results. He builds or tunes the carb for the application and if something is off he stands behind it. My 1050 that I am running now required a float level and idle adjustment, which is typical on any carb, and has run flawlessly.

Thanks for the input guys, I sent him four 750 Holley`s this afternoon and I am looking forward to go boating without having to change 16 plugs for a change:eek:

Kurt.

WETTE VETTE, What can you tell me about the 980 that you had. I have just bought it from jagrlj. Thanks, The Ironman.

Dean did a stage 5 mod to a 1050 Dominator on my previous boat. After he did the modifications it was about 95% of where I wanted it to be. Prior to Deans mods it would barely run, coal black transon etc. I think the biggest reason he couldn't get it "perfect" is the fact I was over carbed for my set-up. Good results and great turnaround times. I think Dean puposely sets up his carbs a tad rich for safety issues, in my app I took out 2 jets sizes all the way around.

Ironman, give me a call and we can discuss the stage 5 850 that you purchased from Jamie.

93 formula here....Yes, I am still satisfied. Just turn the key & instant starts. I have never, ever had to touch the carb since installed. As for "J tubes", I gues if you don't send the carb with them, then you don't get any back. Mine has them as required. :D
If you call Dean, he will talk to you. That alone is worth some dollars.
As for the $1100.00 bill mention by another for two carbs, it was NOT just a rebuild to the carbs, but milling, drilling, filling, metering, flowing venturi's, etc. There's more to it than a $35.00 carb kit from Auto Zone !! Dean Nickerson is an excellent choice for carb work. I got mine back asap....shipped Monday, returned on friday of the same week(overnight shipping was $55.00 each way). I could not be happier! :D

yeah,yeah...thats what I wanted to hear:D

I hope I have the same results!
