I'm high and couldn't be happier!

I just drove my RX7 around the block and it idled low but it idled. My problem is with the choke solenoid, I believe. It doesn't let air out when the power is on. Plus the thick wire from the front side of the carb doesn't push on the diaphram. My head is liquid right now and my neighbors hate me even more. I got up to 50 mph in a subdivision fairly quickly. And this truck decided to get right on my butt, unfortunately I don't have any brakes to speak of so I put my foot on the brake pedal and ripped up on the hand brake, found out I've got only 1 working. It was quite an experience. The car idles around 550 so I'm going to disconnect the battery as I have to go to school and will work on it when I come back up. If anybody happens to have an extra green dot choke solenoid, please PM me. Thank you.

If you are looking for parts, post in the for sale wanted section, and dont drive without brakes, what if it was a little kid that ran in front of your car

Yea, I should have been more considerate/responsible, but it was really fun. BTW speaking of kids, my girlfriend just miscarried yesterday.

Thanks for all the help guys.
