1985 Rx-7 1.1L Warped Carburetor

My carburetor got warped and I need a new one, does anyone know where I can find one or does anyone know any compatible carburetors that are easier to find? I'm posted in GA if anyone has one and wants to sell one. Any helps appreciated have a great day!

This doesn't make sense. A carb warped? Do you mean broken, bent or some piece of it bent or mangled. Pics would help us help you.

i haven’t had time to check it out in a while i dropped it off at a mechanic and he said it’s warped so i gotta find a new carb didn’t question him much cause he’s a family friend i trust him.

Well, I would question whether he knows jack about rotaries. Depending where you are in GA, there are good rotary mechanics who can help you.

Nikki is the easiest and best carb for a stock rotary to get right. Other carbs will require different intakes and much more tuning to run right.
