Very funny thread. Am I the only one that paid attention to the second part of his question?

You say that when you hit 3rd gear it bogged down like it was flooded or something. That's one of the easiest questions to answer that you will ever find on this forum. A classic example of a dirty fuel filter. 4 bucks at the parts store, and ten minutes under the car, and you'll be screaming once again.

And don't let these guys get to you. Once they smell blood, you'll never get them off your back...

Kentetsu! Thanks for the help! I pick up a K&N recharge kit, sprayed the filter, washed & oiled it, Changed the plugs, reset the timing and now she's tight! to the other guys. If you read my profile theirs nowhere where it says I raced RX7's, But if your near Chesapeake Va! I've got a 83' SS Monte Carlo with a 402 bored .030 over, Holley 750, HEI, Roller Tip Rockers & APR Stud you can run anytime! Oh! And I never worked on my RX7"s had a guy named Lou in Norfolk Va. keep'em up so working on 7's is somewhat new to me. Please remember (Just because your smart does'nt make you wise!) So for all you teachers lay off the student we're just trying to learn like you did. Hey don't suck to know you turned in to that teacher YOU DID'NT LIKE?

lol, sounds good man. I'm glad she's running better now, and I see that you cleaned up the air filter, but did you change the fuel filter? You might be surprised at the difference a clean one can make. Happy rotoring!

Wise advise Kentetsu, maybe check fuel pressure at the motor as well?

btw, my big wheel was faster than yours..

Mr. Chuck

Swap out that fuel filter and let us know if that fixed you up or not. It really could be that simple...
