A note on Nickerson Performance
 

This post is probably a little overdue. I sent my carb to them in the spring to have it setup for a blower motor. When I received it all I did was bolt it on and run it. Plugs were perfect. I did purchase all of the associated parts to complete the project from Dean. Used his cam so the settings for the cam/carb were compatible.

Had a little problem with the blower leaking oil from a shaft seal. Called Nickersons on my cell phone from the lake and he got the parts on the way. When I got home they were on the front porch and I was out on the river two nights later.

Whacked the outdrive so I decided to have the blower gone through while it was down for repair. Dean arranged repairs through The Blower Shop and gave recommendations etc. Dean gave me some good info on setting up my cooling system and suppliers for some additional parts which he did not carry. Customer service with Nickerson Performance is why I will always do business with them. With all the crying on the board lately I thought I should share some positive experiences.

Tim,
It is good to hear a "thumbs up" story about a supplier. It seems you only hear the bad news lately.
I am a store manager for a large auto parts chain. I`ve been in this business since 1984. There is a saying that I`ve heard many times over the years: "If a customer receives great service from your business, he will tell maybe 2 or 3 friends about it. If this same customer receives poor service, he will tell practically every person he can find who will listen...."
Let`s all try and make a habit to give cudos where deserved!

I bought a Nickerson carb a couple of years ago and was impressed. I bolted it on a supercharged application and I never touched the jets or any adjustments and it has since been on another blower application without jet adjustment. I recommend this carb to anybody looking for a foolproof out of the box purchase. I have neve a bought any carb out of the box that worked like the nickerson.

Mee too, Nickersons is great. Service and all. Thanks Greg

While we're handing out compliments, I've had the same experiences with Teague. Bought 4 blower carbs from them, bolted them on, and have not had a problem in over 200 hours. I never even checked the jets.

I turn my own wrenches, but I don't touch carbs because of them.

I also sent my 1050 Dominator to Dean. I run the same setup as Tim T (B&M 250, single Dominator). My carb was originally a Nickerson.
I posted a thread a while back named, "To Boost Reference or not to Boost Reference". Many responses from that thread. Some how, the Nickerson's caught wind of that thread and I received an e-mail from Dean to call him. He was ready to admit that over time he has learned more and that there were upgrades available for my "Nickerson Carb". I sent the carb to him back in February. He did make some changes that resulted in a very sweet running engine that behaves around the docks. I have zero transom soot, my plugs are perfect, and it starts beautifuly. I didn't have to touch a thing.
It was money well spent ($335).
I would recommend Nickerson Performance for all fuel system work, whether you're Supercharged or N/A, Automotive or Marine.

Glad to hear the good news about Nickerson Performance. My Nickerson modified Holley 980 is still in the box awaiting the completion of the 509...and yes, they were a pleasure to deal with!

I had great luck with Dean in the past. Always does what it takes to make things right and delivers on his promises.

I have Nickerson carbs on my Top Gun. Just bolted them on and she runs great!

Dean knows his carbs and is a great guy to boot.

Very happy with his work,

Kurt.

Dean is one of the good guys; few words but knows his stuff. I've never bought anything but dyno time from him, but he just referred someone to me looking for an intercooler for their Vortech supercharged 572. He didn't have to do that and I'm grateful. Guess I have to buy some more dyno time.

Hey Kurt, maybe we could dyno one of your engines this winter, then convert it over to a "modern" supercharger system.:p Seriously, that engine compartment is a thing of beauty. I hope we have time for a ride in September!

Tom, we will make time for a cruise around the lake!

Looking forward to working with you again, should be fun and interesting!

Kurt.

IM ANOTHER HAPPY CUSTOMER

I've had good, no, make that great experiences with Dean. I've been in his shop many, many times and I can get him to talk, but it's tough sometimes:)

The first carb I got from him was a little notchy, back in 1997 or 98 but I took it back to him two years later to get the upgrades and it was flawless.
I just got my twin carbs done by him and they were flawless.
He dyno'd my motor and stayed till I was done and satisfied, which was late.

Great guy and knows his stuff.

I have delt with Dean on carbaration on my 502 and I had him do my blower motor. He and his son Brad have always been very helpful. I have to talk to Dean tomorrow about some future work I highly recommend
