Sterling will rebuild the stock nikki carb for that much including shipping. http://www.sterlingmetalworks.com/price_list.html

You just need to send one to him, and they can be had for free or very little.

Do you guys know how long it would take for them to rebuild it and send it back because my 7 is my daily driver? If I have to I'll rebuild the carb myself in a weekend but I'm pretty sure mine just needs to be professionally rebuilt

your gonna need patience, they do it on the side. it's not part of their main business. you will have to get ahold of sterling or rx7carl to know for sure. but if you need it in a weekend or even a week then i dunno how that's gonna fly.

Well after I get my new exhaust manifold and get it bolted on, hopefully it'll run smoother. Right now it kinda pops at idle.

Turnaround is usually a few weeks for Sterling.

If it isn't working up to par, search the forum classifieds and get a stock carb that works, ($25 probably) and then send yours in to The Bananna or Sterling.

It'll be running and you can look forward to an even better one.

For what year? We can work out an exchange if necessary if its a daily driver and your just needing a rebuild. I dont paint or blast rebuilds anymore Zac, I end up losing $ on that deal at our prices.
