How useful are these on carbureted engines? I was under the impression these did not do much good on anything but EFI.

Skid, I would tear it apart and find out what is binding. It could be just the Synchronizer is frozen and needs to be replaced. Or it could be a gear frozen to a bearing or the shaft. Tear it apart! ...

Hmm Beer!!

No, the trans ain't done yet. We're prolly just gonna run the crappy one for awhile longer.

Wear generally takes place in the easier to wear parts first, like the brass syncro rings. Generally, physical gear replacement isn't...

Positive caster is where the top of the strut is forward of the lower balljoint, negative is where the top of the strut is further back then the lower balljoint.

Sorry, I was thinking the end housings. Please disregard my pointless ramblings! http://Forums.ImprovedTouring.com/it/tongue.gif

The front one has the mounting points for the front cover and water pump/thermostat housing and the threads for the tension bolts. The rear has none of the above mentioned provisions and the tension...

Well, benracin and I just went through this and all's We used was a tool rented from a parts store. It is a pilot bearing puller, but not on a slide hammer. It has the same end as the puller adapter...

Is it for sure the synchro or the shift fork. I think either would cause that.

Well, a little trick this really cool guy showed us was to remove the lower spark plug, one rotor at a time then crank the engine over and listen for 3 distinct puffs, atleast, make sure the 2 rotors...

Did You measure compression with a rotary compression tester? Do You know much about the rotaries?

There is really no reason why We couldn't have the car running by Aug. 16th, but I won't be able to make the race as that is the day my Sister is getting married!

Now, July 26th and 27th....We...

Rich,

I am on Ben's crew. We got an engine, but I am currently debating on picking up an RX7 to "fiddle" with. http://Forums.ImprovedTouring.com/it/smile.gif

Well, I pit for the guy on here, benracing, and He has a used trans and it shifts the same. Of course His reason for keeping it smooth is that He was told, sometimes slow is faster. ...

The pilot bushing/bearing isn't going to prevent the clutch from disengaging, rather it will not allow the input shaft to spin at a different speed the flywheel if the shaft is binding or hanging up...

Don't worry about me working on the car, I have my wife's birthday today and am off fishing tomorrow! http://Forums.ImprovedTouring.com/it/smile.gif

David,

That is what I was thinking. http://Forums.ImprovedTouring.com/it/wink.gif I have started engines once or twice while sitting on the floor, so there is no reason We can't just turn 'er...

Uhm, David, does that thing blow at around the 2 minute mark or is that just what it sounds like when you close the throttle?

Yeah, We've done that and have narrowed it down to the Leading side, however I feel it is the leading stator that is bad because it has continuity through both leads, whereas the trailing side does...

Remember when I said I don't have alot of experince with carbs? Well, here goes my inexperience. Do Fuel pressure regulators...

Ok, Well tonight We took the air horn off the carb, replaced the needles and seats, replaced the gaskets, flushed all the old fuel out of the tank, cleaned the carb, restored everything, pumped gas...
