‘82 mazda rx7 won’t idle?
My ‘82 mazda rx7 won’t idle, it starts but will
die quickly if left to idle, it will however stay on
if the throttle is being pressed. I’ve tried
replacing the fuel filter and fuel pump as well
as quite a bit of the tubing around those parts.
However I noticed there seems to be
something either reducing or blocking the fuel
flow to the filter and pump so I was wondering
if anyone would have an idea of what’s going
wrong there or if there could be any other
problem causing this.

At first it would stay on as long as I was pulling the choke. But after replacing the fuel pump it dies even when pulling the choke. The filter doesn’t seem to be filling up and the fuel pump definitely isn’t pumping any gas because the tube it pumps to stays dry. It also only starts when having sprayed carb cleaner into the carburetor.

Once cleaned, recommend you re-coat the inside of the tank with a product like POR15's Gas Tank Sealer kit. You can do this yourself.
