Theres some little filters in each banjo bolt those may be clogged.....

 

Yeah, I cleaned the little screens and both of them are in good shape. Still no go! Arrrrggggh. I'm sure it's something stupid. Also, I removed the secondary vacuum spider - the granddaddy long-legs spider that was in one of the barrels. Maybe that little spider was what was keeping that thing running so well before!

 

hey you guys know if you can swap the S5 auto seatbelts out for a set of S4 seat belts? cause i HATE the auto seatbelts >.>

 

Yes you can swap them out, though you will need all the s4 parts including alot of the trim pieces, both A-pillars, and the bits that go right behind the doors.

 

Yep, but totally worth it. Not only are they annoying, but they're recalled for safety issues.

 

yeah no kidding...
hrm anyone got an S4 parts car sitting around? xD

 

Check the screens inside the fuel line inlets/ outlets on the carb , both of them , they can become clogged with rust over time from the 23+ year tank , if thier was any blockage chances are it also got into the carb , is so clean them and if that doesnt help something else inside is blocked off or the floats are stuck closed , bad needle valve ect.

 

Screens are in good shape. After some help from the 1st gen forum we've pretty much determined that the new needles are sticking. After pulling off the air horn assembly twice and fiddling with the floats, I finally got the bowls to fill. Unfortunately, after it ran for a bit, they overflowed and flooded the hell out of the engine. So I took it apart again, played with the needles, and finally got it running for about 2 minutes with the proper fuel level. But then the fuel level dropped again and now I'm right back where I was, with it dying after a few seconds. So I'm going to revert back to the old needles and see if that works.

This thing better run like ******* platinum after all this trouble!

 

pfft jimi you know how 7's work, they get used to modifications then when you revert back to a stock setup they tend to want to kill you.

 

Well, all I'm doing is going back to the needles that were in there. Same part, just nice and worn in so they don't stick! If that doesn't work then I'll do the only reasonable thing... set the car on fire and roll it down the street on a journey to Valhalla.

I'm PMing you my cell number, Derrick. If you're gonna be through k-town or thereabouts sometime this afternoon then give me a call and we'll work out something with the helmet situation.

 

and a banjo bolt please.

 

Alright, that's it... if it doesn't start this weekend, I'm parting it out!

 

If you want to sell it email me www.rotaryunderground@yahoo.com , thx !

 

Actually, this car has been for sale all summer. I was trying to trade it for a bike. I already bought a bike but I'd probably still sell it if someone gave me the $1500 I was asking for it. The thread is here - https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.php?t=772620

Way too much info and plenty of pics there. Naturally that price is for the RUNNING car... I'm not gonna sell it in the non-running condition it's in right now. At the very least I'd throw a working carb on it first. Hopefully a trip to Jeremy's tonight will give me some clue as to what's going on.

 

Just got back home to my internets and stuff so i didnt get your number till now Jimi, as for the helmet its sitting on my table right now.

Cody, Ive probably got a banjo bolt around here somewhere, where im not sure yet but if you needed it you could come up to my house (in dandridge) and pull one off the spare block sitting here.

 

poor jimmy poor t2 poor cheeto dude hit me up if you need help ripping that **** off and rebuilding it today or whenever dude.

derek when are you gonna be out this way again and is it the right size? 12 by 1.25

 

Contrary to popular belief, I'm still alive. Hey Cody, I might need a ride to Jeremy's later, that's about it. I take it you're working today, so give me a call when you get a chance.

 

ok dude ill call you when i get out today

 

Cody I probably wont be back out towards knoxville for a while, resources are a bit thin at the moment, and yes if your removing the FPD and using a banjo bolt im quite positive ive got one sitting around on a core to reuse for that occasion, as ive already done the same mod to my own car.

 

Heatstroke or not, I can still hold a camera... so check 'em out guys!

Also up are some shots from Jay's birthday party which he may or may not remember... Lemme know if you don't want those on there guys!

And let's not forget who won the rotor-toss!

 

Here's some evidence for your sponsors, Louis!

 

and I just have to wonder....how do temps stay with an intercooler so neatly tucked in place with no airflow to the radiator?

 

Hey rotorheads,

Check out the Blue Ridge Rotary Run that will be held on October 25th and 26th here:
https://www.rx7club.com/se-rx-7-forum-35/oct-25-26th-b3r-778536/

A few spaces are left for the group campsite. This will be a nice fall run on the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Holly

 

That sounds pretty good, I've been meaning to get out on BRP for a while now. It's still a bit far out but I might be in on that.

 

Jimmy good yob on the pics!!!!!!

Information and Registration for the next Rotor Toss will be coming up in the next few days.
