Thanks goes out to Sterling and Rx7Carl for all the hard work and research they did to make this possible!!!



I highly recommend getting this carb!!! It worked right out of the box with only minor adjustments needing to be done!!

Don't forget to do a check of the OMP output according to the Haynes manual.
Anytime a new carb is installed this should be done!

What are you idling at?
Adjust the accelerator pump first. Your's is jetted like mine. But with your higher altitude, you may have to go one lower in the fuel jets.
Out of the box is never as good as when you finish putzing with jet swapping.

I'm betting on sand. The white, sandy beaches of Spokane are famous. Almost as famous as the vast volcanic beaches of Kansas.

Congrats, Chris. Looks very good! Almost too shiny to put under a hood.

You don't have to go as far North as Ohio...It hasn't snowed here in over 10 days and that white **** is still on the ground...

Looks really nice-BTW. Don't wreck on the ice!

Is that a Sterling Special, or just a stock rebuild with all the emissions crap removed?

do you have a larger copy of the comparison pic? I'd love to see it

You see, this is what happens when people honestly care about the community and the quality of their work. Cudos Sterling and Carl on your accomplishments, and I hope that come May you can add me to your list of satisfied customers

That Bad mother runs like a bat out of hell... so fast that my headlights quit working

It's raining really bad, so I'm not going to be able to tweak it. I did start it up this morning in 30 degree weather with NO problems!!! I let it warm up, turned on the lights and nothing... they worked yesterday!! Very wierd. Haven't checked fuses yet.
