Non-op'ed RX7 for a year and now won't start - carb or fuel line problems?
Had to non-op RX7 this last year due to financial reasons - resulting from the wildfire out here - few small repairs at the time. Now starts but won't continue running.
Just before I non-op'ed. I had driven it from San Diego (since no home) to Colorado to stay awhile with friends and drove the Durango Loop (over 12,000 feet) and then back to San Diego. No problems.
I had a friend with Transmission shop look at it and he says it isn't getting enough fuel to keep it running - so carb jet or fuel line problem - clogged ?
Engine turns over and was at the shop running about 20 minutes - now just turns over and stops.
It may be old - but I still love it and the way it handles - any ideas?
Can anyone suggest a person that works on RX7's in North County San Diego, CA - Fallbrook, Bonsall, Temecula, or even Oceanside areas. I'm in Fallbrook - so that would be the best. Can hints on getting my fun baby running again.

I also had an '80 - but it was lost in the fire. We got out through the flames in the '83
Used some of the melted parts for an exhibit at the Liberty Musuem in Philidelphia - their theme was 9-11.
