Ok I have a 1983 RX7 and I just removed the rats nest and rebuilt the carb, After putting everything back together the car want idle on its on even after warm up. Also it lacks the power to even pull the car itself. I do to know what i have done wrong. I will have pictures up as soon as I can figure out how. Thanks for anyones help.

 

You have a huge vacuum leak. This seems to be missed by everybody that attempts the rat's nest removal, which would lead me to believe that there is a problem with the writeup. All I can tell you is, start looking. Pay close attention to the intake manifold, behind and below the carb.

You might also want to read up on the carb, and what it needs to do it's job: www.sterlingmetalworks.com


Good luck. And if you find the issue, please post back so that we'll all know. Thanks.

Ok i Found this not hooked up i do not know what its for. Could this be my problem having no power what is it for. It on the Nikki carb right beside the pump.

 

I forget what that is, but I don't think its critical.

I did remember something else though, run a search in the 1st gen technical section on the term "teeter totter". That is a piece of the throttle linkage that often gets mispositioned and causes some issues.

Good luck...
