I would like to have my carbs redone at Nickerson Performance. Who has had there carbs rebuilt from them and how sastisfied are you with there work.I have only heard good reviews of them, but would like to get some more input from our fellow boaters...Thanks

Re: Info on Nickerson carb work
 

do a search on here. you'll find good and bad reviews. my friends and i have him do all our carb work and they have always been perfect.

Two words, works fine.
Yes, do a search but remember to consider only those with first hand experience. Mine worked right out of the box, period.
Aside from that Dean will you out with knowledge. I would suggest you buy all your parts from him so he knows what you have. I just sent him the carb and told him to put whatever else I needed in the box and send it back. None of this non sense with advice for heads from one guy, cam from another and so on. I thing there are many engine builders out there who can put together a package that runs well. You get into trouble when you start to mix and match.

I agree with Badog! I have used several Nickerson "packages" and have been very pleased with the results. His carbs work great and he knows boats and can be very helpful with cam selection, heads, etc. Good Luck!

Ran one of Nickerson's carbs on my last blower engine... all I had to do is set the idle. Never had a problem.

I recently had my new motor dynoed with a Nickerson 1180. The fuel curve was perfect. We didn't touch anything..

Re: Info on Nickerson carb work
 

Had two sets of Blower 750's done. Tweeked the idle and didn't touch another thing. Fuel curves looked great on the dyno.

Re: Info on Nickerson carb work
 

I have used his carbs on three different pairs of engines. As Big Dog said buy the cam and heads from him also. The last pair of engines were dyno'd at his shop with me there and my 540 CID with 10-71 @ 7 LBS boost ran 800HP @ 5600RPM. His advice was invaluable and his service was impeccable.

i use them on mine triple 540's i love them, but I don't no chit either, when it comes to that stuff

Re: Info on Nickerson carb work
 

I had my engines built by Dean a couple of years ago .....still perfect.

I have 540"s with superchargers and he did the carbs and dynoed.

As I've stated in previous posts .........everyone should be as knowledgeable and
professional as Dean.

i paid three times as much as qouted to have four carbs rebuilt. got them back put them on and had to change spark plugs on every trip on one motor. all four carbs leaked at at least one gasket. checked carbs on motor which was fouling plugs found all four boosters on one carb ready to fall off and go through motor. sent them back for warranty ( on my dime both ways) put them back on motor and now they work fine.just keep in mind that when they qoute a price to rebuild a carb it does not include parts, or cleaning .

Re: Info on Nickerson carb work
 

Dean's carb's are the best... hands down!! He did mine in a Procharged package and as others stated... All I did was set the idle.. That's it. Also charges less than some others like Chuck Noone in Texas and has better service..
