hey, ( this might be a double post sorry if it is) im not sure if this is a problem or not because this is the first time iv ever driven an rx7 (84 GSL btw) anyways when i let off the gas it jerks constantly ...i was in 3 gear when this was happening i dont remember noticing it b4 but i could be mistaken...if anyone know what this is let me know please!!

Thanks,
Sam

 

dashpot delay (or is it dashpot relay?) on the carburetor

 

What RPM are you cruising in?
Could be the decelleration dashpot needs adjusting.

 

hmm, I have an '82 that also does this as I decelerate, but only once the rpms get below about 3500 or so. so this is a dashpot problem?

 

Mine does the same. I think the dashpot needs adjusting, but I'm getting a Sterling shortly, so I'm no too worried about it.

 

get a good **** and you shouldnt have anyproblems jerking!


Oh yeah Dashpot ha ha!

 

I removed my dashpot completely and it only starts jerking on decel if it drops below 2000 RPM.

 

Ian removed mine as well, but mine jerks below 2500 or so O_o

 

Mine used to jerk a bit higher and then I adjusted the AP a little bit.

 

Hmmm. Good idea, but I'd rather not fix what aint really broke

 

13Bs with Hitachi carbs tend to jerk below 2000 RPM on decel too. Opening the throttle very slightly reduces it.

 

just put the clutch in lol, less wear on the engine that way too. Whenever going down hills, I use the brakes. easier to replace brake pads than your apex seals, you do about 1/3rd the rpm too just rolling down hills at idle

If your not accelerating or cruising you should have the clutch to the floor :P
