Wow, you need to learn to spell or just type slower. I don't think anyone will be able to help you unless you give us some more info. Take some pics or something. Is is a 2bbl or 4bbl. Does it say holley, dellorto, weber, munikki? These are some of the common aftermarket carbs. If it is the stock carb it is a nikki. If you are sure that it is a stock carb, you can just go down to an auto parts store like napa or something and order it for 20-40 bucks.

But yea, post some pics and you will be helped much better.

 

It must be that Canadian coffee, i heard it was areal killer,lol rx7doctor

 

i think it is stock and it is 4bbl.... thanks about the spelling my keys are touchy

 

The air cleaner thingy should be blue and say mazda on it. Pull that off and on the front and rear of the carb (sides facing the radiator and the passengers side inside) there will be little sight glasses. Most likely you will not be able to see the fuel inside, but somewhere in that vicinity you will see NIKKI written on it. I don't remember what else it says, but you will have a hell of a time looking for it because the carb looks like it is on life support.

Also, if you are planning a rebuild, it is not hard but very complex and confusing. Take your time and if at all possible try to take pics with a digital camera, or video camera if you have one. Some people suggest drawing pics as you go through it but taking pics is way better. Good luck and don't loose any pieces.

 

You dont need the numbers. The kits for these carbs are generic and cover all the 1st gens from my experience.

 

Ya, listen to Carl, he's the man

If you are running the stock carburetor, then it's a Nikki. They don't have numbers that I've seen, despite what the guys at the parts store say. The rebuild kit you get for it is the kit for "1979-1985 Nikki 4bbl for Mazda Rx7" or something like that.

If you have a CarQuest parts store anywhere near you, go there. They can order the "Hygrade" rebuild kit for that carb and it's the best one to get. I just did a carb rebuild with one yesterday in fact.

www.carquest.com and enter your postal code into the "find a location" thingy to find a nearby location.

If you search up "Hygrade" (searching 1st gen section only) you should come across a thread that has the specific part number of the kit you need.

Good luck

thx iam not rebuilding it i coulndt if my life dependend on it but my dad is sending his carb to for his muscle to get done by his friend so iam doing the same

 

How much are you paying? Carl (Rx7carl) rebuilds them but changes a bunch of **** like the jets and whatnot, and gives you a nice little boost of power. I don't remember how much it cost but pm him.

Also here is his homepage http://www.pbandjracing.com

 

getting done free and the guy lives block away i would trust this guy with any car parts casue he does all the high performance heads and he wanted to try mine carb any ways so its all good thx

 

Would you trust him with your Apex seals?

 

I wouldn't.

 

Now let me get this straight. Am I hearing that you and your Dad are getting your muscles "done" by your Dad's friend. Let us know how the head job turns out, too.

 

from his muscle car. what you got to be big now and pick and younger people

 

Not picking on you, but you didn't answer my question

Rebuilding the carb isn't really that complicated, and would make a great learning experience for you.

 

iam going to be there to learn to do it i have rebiult 2 engines with the guy already so ill learn and sure I trust him with the seals
