My 1982 RX7 shuts off on me
Like the title says I have a 1982 RX7 that when i turn left it will shut off on me. Now it doesn't happen every time but when it does if i straighten the car up real quick the power is restored and i continue on my way, has anyone else experienced this or know what is happening and how to fix it?

My 1982 RX7 shuts off on me
most likely fuel
who rebuilt the carb? you? also, when the carb was reinstalled, was the float levels adjusted to be in the sight glass? |
i did rebuild the carb myself. i did adjust the floats as specified. i will be honest it was my first carb rebuild so i could have made a mistake. the shutting off is why i rebuilt the carb.
|
when it shuts off does it stutter, buck or misfire before the engine dies or does it just die?
|
it loses all power. i can have the pedal to the floor and when i turn it will shut off. when i feel it happen i straighten the car up and it will accelerate and drive as if nothing was wrong.
|
i'm still thinking the floats are the issue.
what pump setup do you have? i guess some people get/got relief by adjusting the fuel pressure. https://www.rx7club.com/race-car-tec...-turns-442346/ |
everything on the car is what it had when it came from the factory. the symptoms i have come and go and it doesn't matter how i turn left. i can take a nice easy turn and it will do the same thing. i guess i can try to go through the entire furl system and change parts and see if that helps.
