Denver Area Mechanics

Hey guys I have a 1982 RX7 GSL. not running very smooth. Have taken it to local shop with no luck. Are there any really knowledgable mechanics in the Denver area? The biggest issue I am sure is the Carb. Are there any guys that sell good rebuilt carbs? Thanks!

Have you read through the carb threads in the FAQs and the Archives? If you do a little diagnosis ahead of time, you might find the problem yourself. When's the last time you changed the fuel filter and cleaned out the fuel system, run a can of Seafoam through it?

You'll probably get a better recommendation asking in the Mountain regional forum.

Precision Import Repair on Federal in Denver. This thread is not all that active. Join here and you are guaranteed to get a better response: http://www.coloradomazdaclub.com/forums/

Besides, we could use some more members with rotors.

On the carb side, the FB's carbs are a bit complicated. I think most auto parts stores can order a rebuild kit for it. It you have the time to TAKE YOUR TIME, this is the way to go. Also, check what the guy above me said as well.

Actually a better response would be to call Mike or Mark at Precision Import Repair at 303-797-6510. They are located at 4444 S. Federal Blvd.
