Rebuild Question
Hey guys, I plan on rebuilding a 12a that I got my hands on to get my car going again, I was wondering if it'd be fine to rebuild the carburetor at the same time, or if I should do the carb first, tune it a little, then take the engine out and rebuild it? Thanks for the advice

Have RX-7, will restore

I would personally want a carb that's ready to go on a fresh engine. If it were me personally, I would rebuild the carburetor and install it on the engine now and get it dialed in. Who knows, the engine may run great and not need a rebuild right away. You can compression test it once it's in and running and decided where to go from there.

I was wondering if this makes sure it doesn't run lean? Also if it works for high altitude, I live in Colorado so we're about 6800 feet above sea level, and thanks! I'm gonna work on rebuilding the carb in the next week or so

So for the carburetor I've read a post that was really good for setting it up by adjusting the idle and all that, it was here https://www.rx7club.com/1st-generati...e-carb-310927/
