Rx7 Runs! 1st time in years
The story: so we got spark all going, i knew the engine was flooded so i took out the plugs and cranked. gas went out and i let it sit to let it dry. later then i put oil in the leading holes to build compression and put the plugs back in. cranked it like 4 times and nothing. so i had my dad come out and work the choke and gas in the engine while i started it. it was beggin to start, on our last try it worked and smoke fills the building. we keep gas on for a lil and then let off. the whole building is smoke. i realized then how much i love rotarys. And it still runs like a champ.

I hope you are skinny and can crawl under the dash easily if you change either the master brake or clutch.... It was a PITA for me to crawl under when i changed mine.
My autocross car needed a new brake booster, brake master and clutch master!!

lol. Just put the car up on jackstands, as high as you can get it. Then you can kneel outside the car and reach up under there. Clutch master cylinder swapped in ten minutes that way. Sure beats trying to stand on your head.

we didnt really do anything to my carb, just sprayed some carb cleaner in it and i renewed all fluids and filters. we also replaced the starter and did some re-wiring because the leading spark plugs didnt get spark. everything seemed to work real good. ive started it up everyday since it began to run. here are some pics
here is the link to the album, alot of pics.
