figured out carb problem!

ok guys, this could apply to alot of you. i'm sure you've noticed my never ending posts of different possiblities to the one main thing going wrong with my car. A) was taking forever to crank. B) was fouling plugs within a week. C) wasn't always firing and etc. etc. so on... well i went to RotorSports which is an amazing Rx7 only garage/shop here in NC and we found out that part of the gasket around the secondaries is leaking, more like, FLOODING with gas as soon as 5 seconds after i turn the car off. also one of the ball seats isn't working correctly. fix?? carbeurator rebuild kit! i was hoping it wouldnt come to that but yep, i are the doing it. i also took liberty to get some front brake pads, a "summer set" thermostat w/ gasket, oil cooler tower o-rings, new ngk plugs, and a TON OF BRAKE CLEANER for when all my damn leaks will be gone! WOOHOO!

The stock fuel inlet valves are of the needle and seat type, rather than a ball type like a Grose jet, which works much better.
