I realized something just a few moments ago. Dont work on important ****(car ****) if your tired.

Since I've been up close to 3 days due to my wonderful insomnia, I figure wtf im up why not finish up my carb rebuild and swap that hoe. So i yank the old **** out, swap some **** over to the 'new' carb(throttle mounting bracket, OMP rod, etc etc etc)
Tighten up the bolts and hmm time to see if she acts any different with a fresh carb.


Step 1: go over all of the fuel connections and make sure nothing looks outta place, but whatever you do dont make sure the fuel bowl window is tight.

Step 2: Turn key and prime pump, and throw hands up triumphantly as you dont see any fuel spraying anywhere, but prepare for the worse so inspect the carb.

Step 3: Watch in horror as fuel pours all out the fuel bowl inspection window and out the overflow vent into the carb as all 4 barrels proceed to fill up and run over the side of the carb(that holley blue sure does flow alot)

Step 4: Turn off key and proceed to tighten up the windows. Casually open the throttle to dispose of the evidence so if some bystander comes over to monitor your work, nothing seems wrong.

Step 5: Never learn your lesson and prime pump again, and watch this time in laughter as the float bowls overflow again and fill the barrels with fuel.

Step 6: Ask yourself "Hmm I did set the float and needle didnt I?" then realize the last 3 days are a blur and you cant remember.

Step 7: Say WTF and load everything back up such as: tools, phone, cigs(you cant ever work around fuel without a lit square you know)

Step: 8: Pray someone totals your car as it sits in the parkinglot so you can collect insurance and get another car exactly like yours but with a carb that was built by a drunken spastic monkey because it will be likely better off than the job you performed on the carb.

Step 9: Laugh even harder because you just killed your wankel because all of the carbon on the rotor housing have now proceeded to wedge against the apex seal and you dont give a **** because that bitch needs a rebuild anyway(One seal got tossed a while back, the day i went to go pick up my 4.77s, figures).

Step 10: Go online and drop a crap load on a rotor kit/engine gasket kit form Mazdatrix and the why not and order a 48IDA and manifold and some Bridgeport templets

JEC-31

Ok, I think I got it, except for can you post a link to the drunken spastic monkey's website so I can order my carb?

I learned my lesson on sleep-deprivation mistakes when I stayed up all night screwing up my winter-beater's brakes.

Man, Hans, you need some sleep. The best way I've found is to run until you can't breathe and keep on going. Just go boot-camp on yourself and take your body beyond the limits of physical endurance, and once your tired *** collapses your mind will follow.
Good luck!

Just did a huge job for my Dad too, hope the tractor faired off better than the 7 . It was a std 300hr service: hydrolic fluid flush fill with filters(2)/Fuel filter/oil and filter/thermostat(old one hung and was overheating)/flush fill axels/lube all moving parts/and an air filter.

about the sleep, yea i got semi-chronic insomnia if you will, i dont get it all the time but when i do its chronic(more than 3days)

I came from soccer background so the natural thing to do is go running. I ran this morning(and morning before) before i worked on the RX7, 2miles... still under 16mins, barely i gotta quit smoking . went home hoped in the bath got tired hit the bed and was wide awake. Pulled the carb fiasco and now here i am after a diesel tractor service
