The carb from Hell
I need help. My carb is acting up..I changed the fuel filter, fuel pump and the problem is not fixed..everytime i take a curve and drop down to second gear it stalls for like 5-8 sec. i read on a text book that it could be my jets or the float chamber is off and not adjusted right and it's catching to much fuel..can some out there help me

let say that your riding around your subdivision and you are on 3rd gear and you want to take a right on street thats comming up..you drop down to second and "bang" you stall turning the curve. I always put the clutch back in and give a little bit of gas and it will unstall it's self. It's very annoying and especailly when you are trying to leave a neon or honda civic behind eating your dust and decides to stall at a curve while you are droping gears

Have RX-7, will restore

a carb rebuild would be best, imo. it certainly couldnt hurt. i was having a horrid hesitation problems and i tried everything except for a carb rebuild. i broke down and rebuilt the carb. it took about two hours from start to finish. it fixed all of my problems. i would suggest that and go from there. you can pull the top of the carb and check the float levels and reset them if need be before you rebuild the carb.

Don't touch the carb yet...
You mentioned that you replaced the fuel pump. What did you use?
Also, after it stumbles in the turn, when it starts getting power again are you seeing any smoke? Chances are, you are flooding rather than starving. If you used an aftermarket fuel pump, then you will need a fuel pressure regulator to keep it from shoving too much gas down the carb.
With my setup, if my pressure is adjusted too high then I'll bog out in left handers while autocrossing. A little adjustment of the fpr takes care of it. Not sure if this will apply to you, but thought I'd throw it out there before you rip the carb apart. Good luck!

the mallory is 6psi, and no the holley kit is on back order at RB right now.
Edit: Just ordered the regulator so I am not super screwed when my intake comes in.
