BC New here from Canada

Hey i am from a small town just outside Vancouver B.C., I just aquired an 85 rx-7 gs with the 1.1 obviously. I got it for free, and it had been sitting for 6 years, body has alittle rust around fender wells and a small don't on the drivers front end, but other then that pretty good.

Not sure if it would have ran when i first picked it up but i changed plugs, wires,cap, rotor, fuel pump and filter and it runs like a top, only issue right now is it won't start unless i dump a bit of gas down the carb, but then once it is started i can turn it off let it sit for a while (like 40 minutes maybe more) and it will still start but not if left over night.

So yeah got a little diagnostic to do but should have a nice new ride in no time.
