I had my carb rebuilt at KD Rotary in Pennsylvania. It cost me around $160, but it works great. A carb kit will run around $20 from Victoria British, but you have to do the labor.

IMO the rx7 carb is a very tricky carb to rebuild. it has all its lil vacume and emissions things.. if u unsure with you doing i would recomend getting it done by a pro...
if u look after em, they will be good to u..
p.s sorry for spelling mistakes, still recovering from NYE
