My secondaries got stuck WIDE open cruisin the highway today. I kicked it down to fourth to run around a guy in the other lane and when I went back into 5th the 7 screamed and grabbed and off she went like a rocket. Faster than I could ever get it to go with my foot. Scared the **** outta me cuz I had another car in front of me. Wish she could do that on command though. Hopefully I didn't hurt anythin reving that high. Kicked the gas a few times to get em unstuck. Then I tried to get it stuck and it worked. I checked the linkage and everyhting is okay but it looks like the spring that wraps on the rod outta the base of the carb may be screwed up. Just came in to grab a bite to eat and headed back out to fix it. I am thinking maybe putting a spring on the other side to pull it back a little harder. Any suggestions guys ( and gals )

 

I was just thinking maybe you should wiggle it a bit to get it loose then take your secondary vaccum pod off and use mechanical secondaries instead. Thats the only advice i can think of.

 

I have the mechanical secondary setup but not the nikki carb. I have the racing beat setup with the Holley carb. Figurred it out though, just a little gummed up. A little cleaner and she is fine, Running excellent. Thanks though !

 

Nice, good to hear you got it fixed, now if i could only fix my own problems haha.

 

****. Try having the throttle stick wide open on a road course. Lift for a turn, but the pedal doesn't. I just turned off the key, and coasted off the track.
Turns out, someone had bent several pieces of the linkage, and put it on incorrectly. The factory carb manual shows the exploded view of the linkage, and states "Do NOT remove". Since someone else did not pay any attention to it, I had to ignore the warning too.

 

lol i seen the warning to but i still dimanteld that bitch and cleaned it all

 

where? factory manual?

 

HAHAHAHA HAHA I have taken the linkages apart so meany times. The one time I took it off on a FB I got all screwd up and took like 5 hrs to figure out how to get it back on.

 

WAH..i need a picture..

 

The good part about this whole ordeal, my cruise now works perfectly. I also can assemble the linkage on an FB in my sleep. Not that I want to.............................
As for finding the carb manual, read the FAQ's. It tells you that the manual is available at iluvmyrx7.com under 1st gen manuals.

 

ur lucky, I have a after market cruise and the cable is broken that holds the pedal down. I wish I had cruise :-(

 

YA no kidding, i wished i had cruise controll. I think im going to just haul around a brick from now on.

 

Use a old rotor ;-)

 

Reroute the choke cable.......

 

Then i wouldnt have a choke and i damn well need it for where i live. How does it work? Does it just mount where that other slot is in the accel cable mounts? I think i might be able to do it with a choke cable from my honda.

 

Cruise takes away all the fun of driving the 7, just my personal opinion !!!

 

But it sure is nice on those 200-300 mile road trips......

 

i tried going to that site but all i could find was a stupid search engine that lead me to that auto zone place and wanted me to pay liek major buckos for montsh subscription lol, can someone post a pic of the secondarys because i think that i hooked myne up rong

 

Best I can do, for now. Hope it helps. I used this as a guide, which has solved my problem.

 

omg that stuff is like solid gold that looks so easy and clear do you have a address for that i could go to or do you have to log in or could you save the pdf and email it to me? my email is glenn_mesa@hotmail.com if you can email it that would be awsome

 

also i am not sure exactly how to and or where the secondarys hook up thier is a open pipe on it but i am not sure exactly where it goes to or what plugs into it. if anyone could help me that would be lovely much thanks
