Unhappy Weber carb headache

Hi there
I am new to this forum and Also new to rotaries. I have just purchased my first rotary (it’s been a long time coming) the car is a 1974 Capella/rx2. I am having trouble with tuning the carb to suit a 12a n/a.
The run down.
One of my friends was playing around with the carb setting. It sounded nice and had a solid pulse. But unfortunately he’s played with the two air ratio screws on the side of the carby and now it’s lost it’s pulse as in no brap brap like bp should sound.

Being new and not not knowing how to tune it I have watched countless videos on YouTube to see how people set up the Weber carbs to suit a 12a but I can’t for the life of me get it right. Is there anyone on the Gold Coast or near the Gold Coast in Australia that would be able to come round and have a look at it for me. Or offer from advice from personal experience with having trouble of tuning their carb.

egards.
Trent.

Hi Trent. Welcome to the board.

A few questions:

1. Just to be clear, is the engine bridgeported or not?

2. Was the car running well before your friend messed with it?

3. Can you get the specs of the carb and post them? (jetting, venturis, tubes, etc.)
