What a fun time that was! Good to see you again Ray and nice to finally meet you Jacob.
I said goodbye to Frankenrex today. Kevin from Kansas was at DGRR in his truck and needed a parts car for his widebody SA build: https://www.rx7club.com/build-thread...7-5-a-1166288/. So we stripped the car down yesterday and loaded it on a uhaul trailer today. Its parts will live on in his car, my brown and red FBs, and the SA.

same here, my first time at DGRR it was nice meeting you Brett crazy that there’s someone who’s interested in these cars like me in the same county. It was an amazing weekend to tell the dragon was fun and hopefully the cars progression will keep going steadily and smoothly
Also, I left DGRR car show on Saturday around 10 AM. That way I could get back home to get ready and go to the Mitty And For the first time I got to sit in a NA miata The owner said it was a STO addition I don’t know. My honest is that well but Supposedly, They’re more uncommon. It’s weird sitting in a car that’s smaller than my own
I got to cross off one of my bucket list items and see my dream race car and put my car on Road Atlanta for I think 7 to 8 laps. It was a blast.
OK, I was having some fuel issues and it wasn’t running correctly at first it didn’t want to start and I checked the spark plugs and they were fouled after replacing the spark plugs. It will barely started idle bus so I checked my carburetor and it was very dirty and the jets in the primary area were very dirty so check my filter and I get owning this car this whole time. I forgot to put an air filter on there. and I get owning this car this whole time. I forgot to replace the old air filter that came from 1985 and so the carburetor has been very dirty after cleaning it with the carb cleaner and cleaning up from the port. It ran a little bit better but after about 4000 RPM, it would start to get choppy and run weird I then pinpointed down to that my secondary were not opening and that my secondary diaphragm might be bad I have another secondary diaphragm from the old carburetor I have so I was gonna see if that works to replace it after pulling the old secondary diaphragm the one that was originally on the car I pumped it with my hand, two second see if it had a good suction and oil came out which shocked me so now I’m thinking th This is the one that was on the engine this whole time This is the one for my old carburetor. I don’t know if it works, but I don’t have a diaphragm gasket right now.
at the original diaphragm is not actually blown and wasn’t making good suction. It was flooded with oil why and how would oil get down in there and if I put this new one on there, will it do the same?

Who knows if a previous owner heavily premixed or squired oil or something down the carb at whatever point and something made its way into that secondary diaphragm. I'd swap it and check after ~50 miles. If you end up needing another one I should have a spare or two.

alright I’ll will let you know I was reading some other threads about it might being that I don’t have a pcv valve on the upper nipple on the oil neck and that I need a oil catch can
