Mikuni PHH 40 and PHH 44 sidedraft carburetors are a licensed version of the famous Solex sidedraft carburetor. They may be marked Mikuni, Solex or both. They use the same base flange pattern as Weber DCOE and Dellorto DHLA carburetors. Mikuni was the brand Nissan Competition sold for A-series engines. Mikuni made the PHH series from around 1970 until 1995. A PHH 50 was also made but are too big for regular A-series engines. Mikuni "Solex" is far more popular than Webers in Japan.

Overview
Mikuni bought the Solex PHH license in the early 1970s and thoroughly redesigned it since then. The only parts in common between these two carbs are the diaphragm accelerator pump arrangement. The Mikuni now resembles a cross between a Weber DCOE and a Solex. They are the "set and forget" sidedrafts. Their flow rates aren't quite as high as the Webers, which is why they're not favored by racers, and jet availability is not as good. (Mikuni North America is the primary jet supplier).

Nissan Competition used to sell Mikuni jet parts.
Manifold
Mikuni PHH uses the same bolt pattern as Weber DCOE and Dellorto DHLA, so any traditional manifold will work with PHH carburetors.
See main article: Intake Manifolds
Features
- Mikuni recommended fuel pressure is 2.84 - 4.98 psi
- Mikuni calls the idle-mixture screw the "Pilot" screw.
- Carb flange same as DCOE. The air cleaner side bolts are spaced slightly different. Elongating DCOE air cleaner holes lets them fit on the PHH.
- Choke: A most interesting feature of the PHH is that instead of a choke butterfly valve for cold-start enrichment, it using an enriching circuit called a "starter" which rotates to open the starter jet.
- Starter: Yellow circles. Connect choke cable to these.
- Pilot Screws: yellow arrows
- Idle speed screws: Green arrows
- Mikuni PHH Carburetor Service Manual
- Size is stamped on the throttle blade
- 165 = 1.65 inch (40 mm)
Fuel Pump
Mikuni recommended fuel pressure is 2.84 - 4.98 psi. A stock A14 pump should work fine -- they are rated 2.8-3.8 pounds (early A12 fuel pump was lower pressure).
You can easily test the fuel pump with a vacuum/pressure gauge with engine idling. Then remove hose and see how many CCs come out in 60 seconds. A14 pump at 1000rpm should pump minimum of 1.3 liter.
That A14 rating of 1.3/minute is good for 125 HP engine. That's a pretty hot street motor, not many A14s can do that naturally aspirated. For a racing A14 you'll want a higher volume pump.
So test your pump. It may put out 1.5 liter/minute. Then no worries even on a very hot street A14.

Adjustment
You need to adjust the 1200 Throttle Cable to take up extra slack in it at idle (otherwise it may not open the carbs all the way at full throttle). For a little play, cut a piece of rubber hose, slit it down the middle and put between the clamp and the cable. If there is a lot of play, you can go to the pedal inside the car and wrap the extra wire around the pedal shaft once.
spacer between cable and bracket:
