easily to do. just be cautios of where all the parts go. the rx-7 carb was one of the first ones i ever rebuilt. if you don't feel comfortable. just bring it down and we can have a day to show people how to.

bring it where ? If it were mine I would love to do it myself but its my friends car and I would rather not ruin it lol without know wtf im doing.

I have been thinking about doing the same with mine so maybe I could rebuild mine first as a test run then do my friends with the experience learned.

does anyone know if the repair kit the black dragon sells has everything needed ?

i bought the smp/hygrade rebuild kit it has everything except the floats. i havent had the time to take my carb out and rebuild it but it looks to be of high quality. not sure if its the same one from black dragon or not.

I couldn't believe how much difference a rebuilt carb made on my car. It actually kinda startled me the first time I tried opening the secondaries.
