Member blwfly is selling one that he rebuilt with all of the solenoids removed.
Pm Trochoid and see if he is willing to rebuild one for you.

I have absolutely no knowledge about carbs.... "all the solenoids removed" is like martian to me? so what does that do or chAnge?



will do, thanks.

That means it has no emission equipment on the carb. It works well for guys that have removed the rats nest. But in your case being in a emission testing area unless you pay someone for smog it won't be good for you.

Well I already do that cuz my car wont pass smog and my mechanic says its because my carb sucks and that too much gas was beeing sent through unused. Well anyway my car is dead and he says the carb is clogged and I should get another one.

I looked in the for sale section and couldnt find this blwfly guy.

Are you saying that your car won't start and run now?

Unburned fuel is taken care of by the catalytic converter. Which means if the cat is not good or there is a problem with the air pump system the Hc's will be high and you will not pass smog even if you have a perfectly good carb in there.

There are too many so called mechanics that blame everything on the carburetor when in fact over 90% of the time there is something else going on.

I think your mechanic doesn't know what he is doing.....tell him to stay away from the 7!!!

haha thats true ^^^

a mechanic should be able to determin a cluster of problems causing ya bad smog

maybe u need to learn arout the carbureator and rebuild your own you will only be saving hundreds of dollars

take docs advise about the cat because it has a function for smog

Got him covered guys. Doc, thanks for the refferal.

Not only that, a good cleaning and rebuild can make the card just like new, should almost be no reason to get rid of it if it's just clogged.

resjsu

Yeah trochoids helpin out. And lol just to clear things up the mechanic didnt say too much gas was being sent through unused, the smog results showed this. What the mechanic said was the carb was clogged and before the carb stopped functioning he said it could be a factor in my smog problem.

I have a fair amount of trust in this mechanic he has worked on a few 1st gens and a few 3rd gens along with other top end cars.

I would not however, trust him with the internals. I would take it to ROTARYX! but they would charge me up the ***. So I will take it to the mechanic instead for as long as i can.

And about the cat, i dont want to buy one right now because im trying to save money for my 13b swap. Its just that im starting school innna week and i wont have time to buy the rest of the parts and complete the swap, i just need to have a running car asap.

Thanks for the input fellas, the forum came threw again!

When I get my RX up and running, I wont be needing a Cat, You can have mine for just shipping. its not the best in the world, but it works, and it should get you past the testing.

The cat takes care of unburned hydrocarbons. If your carb is running rich you will pollute more egrdless of your cat. While it is true that a cat would reduce the emmissions of a rich running car versus no cat, it is incorrect to think that a cat can counter the excess emmissions produced by a poor running car with a faulty carb.
