There are a few different versions of Nikki carbys used on Geminis over time, that is the basic layout, HOWEVER, there is one noteable difference with the carby used on the TF/G Geminis. These have no fuel return line, to use one of these on an electric pump'd Gemini you would need to swap
over the metal pipe the lines latch onto [marked Fuel inlet/return on the diagram below]. Simple as one bolt, a copper washer, and the part itself. Takes all of 10seconds to do.

now i got a question... i have just fitted a g161 to my car.. and its standard obviously so it has the old nikki on it... now when i go to start it it wont fire... i pour some fuel down the throat and then kick it over and it starts fine... shut it off then try to fire it up again and it wont go.. now i havent got all the solenoids connected except the fuel cut off one... and it seems when the engine isnt running it wont let it pump any fuel into the jets.... i dont know wats going on its pissin me off and i cant work it out cause i lost my manual for the car ... grr
G161, 2L internals, balanced crank, stage 3 cam, ported head, twin 48's ...
no i actually pour some fuel down the throat.. when i pump the accelerator when the engine isnt running it doesnt pump fuel through the jet... yet when i pour fuel in it and then start it i can accelerate fine.. i connected the solenoid up to the positive on the coil so it has only power when the car is on the on position... its drivin me nuts..

its hard to explain i guess.. its not draining the float when its running.. so theres fuel, and its got a good fuel flow up to the carby.. and it is spraying fuel through the jets when the engine is running, BUT when the i stop the engine and then pump the pedal.. theres no fuel through the jet... thats why it wont start.... im stumped and about ready to throw the nikki across the street into the neighbours window
