Exclamation Help... Fuel Issues.

my sisters 79 rx7 13b, soon to be mine, some times will not start at all when in the sun.
friends and family say that the carby is to big for the car, telling my sis she has to drive with high rpm.
people have told us that the petrol evaporates from the carby or somthing making the car not start.
she keeps the car with a full tank.
but we still have isues with the stupid thing.
usually keeping her stranded.
?? anyone tell me what we can do to the car?

Try answering the following questions/prompts as to help us get a better idea of what state the car is in.

1. Is it a 13B or a 12A, '79s did not come with a 13B so if it's been swapped then it could be any number different configurations, we need to know a bit more than just a 13B.
2. What carb is on it.
3. Mileage on both engine and chassis
4. ANY modifications at all regarding the engine/emissions/ignition/fuel etc.
5. Pictures speak volumes, so if you have any or could get some of the engine bay and setup then that will help.
