Nikki Carb Question

I recently purchased an 83 RX7. I've noticed the Nikki carb is acting up a little bit. It idles fine but when you give it some gas it will hesitate or stall going from the idle circuit to the primary jets. It looks like the accelrator pump has failed. But what stumps me is when I pulled the plugs. The front rotor was lean and the rear was rich. The rebuild kit does not have floats. Should I purchase the floats and replace them or do you think its a needle and seat problem thats making the rear rotor run rich?

Thanks for the help.

Naw, your jets are clogged. Run a search in the 1st gen section using the word "toothpick". I just finished advising another guy on this same issue, that search will bring up the fix for you. Good luck.
