Backfiring- Help
I have an 85 with a 12a no mods and everytime i turn it off it backfires... Im not talking about a little "poof" I am talking about sounds like I am standing at the back of my car with a 12 gage. It also shoots a 3 inch flame from the tail pipe when it does.
I have tried to adjust the carb and it still does..... Anyones help would be helpful.
Thanks

mine did this when i had weak spark plugs, and a small vacuum leak. some of the unburnt fuel would find its way to the exhaust and the temperature in there would ignite it. at the time i had headers straightpiped to a ebay muffler so it was VERY loud.
specially when you park on main street in front of the police department....never seen so many cops running outside with gun in hand.

Rx7's do run a little rich... are you sure you are adjusting your carb correctly? The 85 has different adjustment screws than other models. If you've got a haynes manual check the adjustment for the 85 is in chapter 13 I believe.(It's one of the last chapters) It might sound like a dumb mistake but I've seen plenty of people on the forums who were adjusting the wrong screw thinking it was the same set up as older models.
