Several years ago I found in the RX7 Club website information on bringing an RX7 back to life. If I recall correctly there was a discuss in the article on determining if the engine was experiencing carbon lock.

We'll I am now embarking on bring a 1979 RX& back to life. I use to do my own maintenance on the car before so I've got an idea on what its going to take.

Does anyone have a copy of the article I'm referring to? Any words of wisdom, encouragement or discouragement?

 

It's in the 1st gen tech section in the FAQs. Also download a copy of the FSMs, carb manual, etc..
