how hard is it for a rookie to try a rebuild kit on a 81 rx-7.??? any tips or advice?

 

compressed air is a big help, both in removing and reinstalling the piston.

 

It is easy to screw up, forget something small, or make minor errors.

Theres been a bunch of people who did their first rebuild and it either doesnt last or doesnt work as well as it did pre rebuild.

Best advice is read the carb manual and carb info. Try and understand everything in the carb and how it works. Read the procedure a few times. If dont understand everything clearly, then ask for clarification.

Forgot to say in my sig is the link for the carb manuals

Here's some pictures of an 84 carb. Not exactly like an 81, but similar.

I've rebuilt two (both worked beautifully). Compressed air is an absolute necessity! Good organization and plenty of working space, too. If you have trouble, I can probably help you out.
