Another Starting Problem
 
I've got an 85 rx7, 12a. Took plugs out and turned the engine over 3 or 4 times until nothing blew out. Put plugs back in and reconnected my fuel pump. Sprayed some starting fluid into carb and it started right up. had to keep the rpms at about 1200 to keep her going. Seemed like there was alot of gas in the carb bowls. once i took my foot off the acelarator she died. tryed to restart but couldnt. took plugs out again to repeat the process. There was still gas in the carb bowls but this time she wont start. Any help will be much appreciated

You have alot of gas in the float bowls or do you see alot of gas inside the carb?

sounds like your needle and seats are stuck. You can try tapping the carb to see if you can get it loose. Carb needs a cleaning or rebuild.
